Dominick's Restaurant: Authentic Italian Dining in the Bronx

Cozy family style restaurant serving authentic southern Italian cuisine. Started in 1962, this place is where people come from near and far, the owner Charlie greets all customers warmly with a pleasant smile! If you are looking for a family style comfort food experience this is your go to place!

Super down-to-earth Italian restaurant with lot of pastas and veggies on the menu. The pasta was great, you could see some imperfections on each noodle, so I assume it was fresh! My favorite dish though was definitely the broccoli. It was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible with the garlic sauce.

A friend had recommended this place and so we tried it. It’s definitely a no-frills kind of environment so you definitely don’t go for the service. They are very fast and efficient but it feels more of an effort to flip the table. We sat downstairs, but there’s also a large area upstairs that had seating and was a lot quieter. The dishes are HUGE and 2-3 people could split a main dish with the portion sizes. The chicken Parmesan hit the spot and I’d come back for that alone. We also tried the stuffed artichoke, but it wasn’t great.

“I have eaten as much as I can, not as much as I want to, but as much as I can.” Per a son on the verge of summer break at Dominick’s Italian on Arthur Street, Bronx. The mussels starter with tomatoes sauce was outstanding. Omg. I usually only eat mussels with butter and garlic but I am converted! Ossobuco, Roast Pork and Cabbage, and Lamb Chops were truly excellent. The steak was declared very good (and fully consumed). The potatoes with the steak were fine but not life changing. This might be because the dishes were on the upper range of perfectly salty. By contrast the potatoes were not salted. One sits family style, sharing tables for 8 (or 12) with other patrons. On a gentler day we might have made some new friends, but we came hungry and impatient today. We love this style of eating, and have been here before. Highly recommended!

A planned visit over the GWB to dine with close Italian friends. No menu? Not necessary. Tell 'em what you want; you won't be disappointed. Authentic family-style dining on famous Arthur Avenue with a convenient municipal parking lot.

My father took me here 50 years ago. They wrote the menu on a paper bag and hung it on the wall. They have a menu now for those who need it. Great southern Italian food at reasonable prices. They use san marzano tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil which are the highest quality ingredients. I highly recommend a visit.

I went to Dominick’s with my husband for his birthday and we were greeted with such love. It truly felt like home. The environment was so welcoming and the food was amazing. The Owner Charlie made it his business to greet us upon arrival and check in on us throughout the time we were there. The owner And the servers were so kind to my son and even gave him fist pumps and hugs when we were leaving. It was my husbands birthday and although They don’t serve desert, they came out to sing happy birthday with a meatball and a candle. They a truly a gem! I cannot wait to go back! I had the most amazing time. Strangers felt like my family and it’s amazing. Shout outs to them for the environment they created and the wonderful food!

The food here is amazing. I had the chicken scarpariello and I am still thinking about it. Sweet and attentive Italian waitstaff with owner at the door to greet folks. Feels like a truly neighborhood destination. Seating is crowded, but adds to the feel. People loving food together. We got seats without a wait at 6pm, but were the last table. Highly recommend!
