Domenico's Italian - Arcadia

Okay, so I took my son for dinner tonight because waiting at Olive Garden was another 45 minutes at 7:30 and Domenico had NO wait. I was in Pasadena and had her pizza, so I thought why not. The best thing about the restaurant is that they give team their service. They had two busboys who regularly died and filled glasses and took our dishes and our servers! That was really nice. Most of the things come with salad and garlic bread that is beautiful, the salad is... just a little salad a small amount of cabbage, some black olives some mozzarella and the... then there is the “garlic” bread that doesn’t taste like garlic at all... but was great, some of the tomatoes from my pasta and for my son to suck his Alfredo sauce. But then I ate my pasta and a bite of my son Pasta and it was AMAZING. I ordered the spaghetti alla checka, which is a spaghetti with fresh chopped tomatoes, whole garlic, fresh basil and a light butter sauce. It was really light and everything was really fresh, I added a bit of parmesan and red pepper flakes and it was so delicious. My son had the Alfredo Special, which is Linguini with Alfredo sauce, chicken and broccoli. The sauce was so light and wonderful, of course my son likes the heavier sauces, so he stacked on the parmesan, but I thought it was delicious just easy!!! I would always come back for the service and the main course and see if the rest of their menu is as good as what I had tonight!

Ok, so I took my son here tonight for dinner because the wait at Olive Garden was still 45 minutes at 7:30pm… and Domenico’s had NO wait. I have been to the one in Pasadena and had their pizza so I figured-why not. The best thing about the restaurant is they tag team their service. They had TWO bus boys who regularly came around and filled out glasses and took our dishes plus our server! That was really nice. Most things come with salad and garlic bread which is nice, the salad is plain… just some lettuce a small amount of cabbage, some black olives some mozzarella and the dressing… then there’s the “garlic” bread which did not taste like garlic at all… but was great to put some of the tomatoes from my pasta and for my son to sop up his alfredo sauce. But then I ate my pasta and a bite of my son’s pasta and it was AMAZING. I ordered the Spaghetti alla Checka which is a spaghetti with some fresh chopped tomatoes, whole garlic, fresh basil and a light butter sauce. It really was light and everything was really fresh, I added a bit of parmesean and red pepper flakes and it was so delicious. My son had the Alfredo Special which is Linguini with alfredo sauce, chicken and broccoli. The sauce was so light and wonderful, of course my son likes the heavier sauces, so he piled on the parmesean but I thought it was delicious just plain!!! I would go back here anytime for the service and the main course and want to see if the rest of their menu is as good as what I had tonight!
