Great food I had the veal chop with cream spinach. My friend had two different types of pasta. We both had salads and the toasted ravioli very good meal. High quality will return to Dominic’s as you can always have a great Italian meal in St. Louis on the hill.

We and our adult children went there to celebrate our anniversary. The service was wonderful without being too much. The staff was very friendly and made good recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their delicious appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts. The wine selection was great. It was sweet to have our special occasion noted with a piece of Jackie’s cake.
