About this restaurant

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

    Service and food were great. Lovely Easter brunch! The back patio was worth the wait to sit next to the lake.

    As always eating at Domenico's was enjoyable primarily because of the staff. Host Tamera and server Emerson warm and welcoming as always. Food was good but not great this time but the location and smiling faces more than make up for that. We love this place.
