About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Our waitress, Samantha, was the best! So kind and on top of everything! Service was incredible and the food was all so delicious. Sitting on the patio beside the lake during the rain was nice and cozy with the heaters and provided blankets. A new favorite restaurant!

    Server was fantastic! Great charcuterie board. All the food was really good. Marcella was a little disappointing. Could not taste any marsala. Was more like salty chicken in a mushroom sauce.
