Orange County's newest upscale dining experience is now open on Lake Mission Viejo! Well known for our iconic location in Long Beach, Domenico’s was one of the first restaurants to serve pizza in California and is famous for our legendary pizzas and amazing Italian and American inspired dishes. Domenico's on the Lake is an upscale take on our original location featuring new steak and seafood entrees, while still featuring the original recipes that have made us an institution in Southern California.

NOTE: OUR LAKESIDE PATIO HAS LIMITED SEATING AND CANNOT BE GUARANTEED BECAUSE THE DEMAND OFTEN EXCEEDS AVAILABILITY. PATIO SEATING REQUESTS ARE SUBJECT TO A WAIT.

The staff at Domenico’s are always so gracious. We were warmly greeted on Christmas Eve as we entered the restaurant. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our drinks and appetizers were promptly delivered. The food was amazing. What a nice way to start the holiday season.

Amazing as usual! Very festival and busy tonight! I was so impressed that a server that we have had in the past who wasn’t serving our table tonight was nice enough to stop and greet us during her busy shift. We love dining at Dominico’s on the Lake!

As usual, the food was excellent. Service was very very slow. Normally not a problem. Not the fault of the server but the fault of the kitchen. Did have to wait for Our to go food to be boxed up and to get a check, but that was not a big deal.
