Domenico’s is Long Beach’s oldest continuously operated restaurant, and one of the first restaurants to serve pizza in California. In 1954, Domenico and Beverly Spano opened Domenico’s in the Belmont Shore area of Long Beach. With a simple menu consisting primarily of made-from-scratch pizzas and the now famous house “Special Salad,” Domenico and Beverly introduced their Italian faire to the Long Beach locals.
Family-friendly Italian restaurant with a wall mural serving pizza, pasta & red-sauce entrees.

5/5 Stars: A Long Beach Legend for a Reason!
If you haven’t been to Domenico’s, are you even living? We had an absolutely stellar experience from start to finish.
First off, let’s talk about the Garlic Bread and Sauce. It is quite literally out of this world—I’d probably drink that sauce if it were socially acceptable. We paired it with their famous salad and that creamy garlic dressing that lives in my dreams.
For the main event, the Pizza was perfect with that iconic ground pepperoni, and the Lasagna was a total showstopper—thick, rich, and exactly what comfort food should be.
The service really put it over the top. Our server, Leo, was amazing—attentive, fast, and made sure we had everything we needed. We also met Kyle, the manager, who clearly runs a tight (and very friendly) ship.
Between the twinkly lights, the cozy red booths, and the incredible food, this is easily my favorite spot in Belmont Shore. 10/10, no notes!

We came here for a last-minute birthday dinner. Completely blown away! From the amazing service, to the quaint dining area, to the perfect entrees, I am so impressed.
We had the chicken piccata and the chicken marsala. They could not have been better!
I’ve had a lot of tiramisu in my life, and this is probably the most creamy flavorful one I’ve ever had!
I am not exaggerating just because the perfectly pared wine is now hitting.
Our server was so helpful with the menu. Then Kyle (the owner) came to our table and made us feel even more special.
I will definitely be back. This will be my go to place in Long Beach. Love.

Recommend the ground pepperoni pizza! It did not disappoint. Also get the meatballs with the meat sauce, and the sautéed mushrooms. You will love it. Charlotte was our fantastic server, and a very friendly Kyle brought tiramasu (also delicious) to our table ! Can’t wait to return

Coming home after my first trip to Italy was… something. It was difficult not to crave authentic Italian food. My next best option? A restaurant in my hometown that I had always passed by but never visited — until the time was right: Domenico’s.
The moment I walked in, I sensed this place would become one of my favorite spots — a way to keep Italy close to my heart (and stomach).
The focaccia was a wonderful surprise. The first few times I had it were in Italy, so biting into that spongy, savory bread again felt like a warm “welcome back.” And that was just the start. The appetizers were divine — in taste, portion, and price. Once, when my favorite wine wasn’t in stock, the staff turned it into a mini wine tasting adventure until it was. As for the tiramisu… I wouldn’t die for it, but I’d absolutely k- for it.
Oh, and the waiters? Amazing. Friendly, fast, and genuinely cool. The place probably remembers me as the solo diner with the cool hair, always smiling — and the only one who paid with Apple Pay instead of a card.
I haven’t been back since I moved away, but the next time I’m in town, I will be stopping by. And maybe this time, I won’t keep this hidden gem to myself.

It’s been a long while since we’ve been here & we had forgotten how good the food is! It’s quiet, quaint place to enjoy a wonderful (large portion) Italian dinner. The son of the owner (taking over for dad) stopped by & chatted with us. The service was absolutely top notch & they couldn’t do enough for us. If you’re in the neighborhood stop by.

Domenico’s never disappoints. I ordered the house-made gnocchi with basil cream sauce, and it was absolutely incredible— pillowy, rich, and perfectly balanced.
The atmosphere is classic and welcoming. I appreciate establishments that take pride in their craft, and Domenico’s does exactly that.
Highly recommend if you’re in Long Beach and craving a comforting, elevated Italian meal. I’ll definitely be back. ✨

My husband wanted to have Linguini and clams in red sauce so after looking at several options we chose this one! Domenico’s went above and beyond our expectations! From Decor, to staff, too food and ambiance. We started with the fresh made bread and sauce, delicious French onion soup, shared a plate salad with homemade garlic dressing, and then I had the most delicious Chicken Picata I’ve ever experienced! My husband enjoyed his Linguini and clams with red sauce to the last drop! He wanted to go back the next night! We finished our lovely dinner with a complimentary yummy Tiramisu! Our server Shandavy was so fun and knowledgeable of the menu and tourist attractions. She made the evening so much fun! Thank you for going above and beyond our expectations ❤️

First time here and it immediately felt like a cozy family style restaurant. The food was perfect (pizza, french onion soup, pasta dish, salads) and they had a great wine selection. Carla, our server was courteous and provided excellent service. Mike, the manager, came over and spoke with us since it was our first time visiting, and brought us their famous tiramisu – which was the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend and will be back!
