Not bad, but not great. I got the all-you-can-eat prime rib. The first steak was very fatty. The second was ok but neither was outstanding. The service was outstanding.

As mentioned in another post, there is not a lot of options for Italian at the lake. But as an alternative to another Italian restaurant at the lake, it hit the spot!
The atmosphere is simple with a wide open dining room dimly lit. It is reminiscent of some of the Italian restaurant dining rooms on The Hill in St. Louis.
The food in no way is perfect, but was a nice change from the repetitive nature of greasy lake food. We started with their house salad which is loaded with provel cheese and creamy Italian dressing which I prefer over the vinaigrette salads often served. It did not disappoint.
For my entree, I had the tortellini and while the cream sauce consistency was a little watery, it had good flavor. The tortellini pasta was stuffed full of meat and appeared to be home made, however I didn't ask and can't confirm that. My wife had the roast beef sandwich and it was very tender and flavorful. The horseradish dip gave it just the right amount of punch and complimented the flavor of the meat.
The service started a little slow, but the server redeemed himself with his promptness and pleasant demeanor. Domenico's was a pleasant surprise and I look forward to going back. -

It was ok for Italian food totally not worth the price though. I had the chicken Marsalis and it was basically fried chicken with a brown gravy sauce. 76.00 for two drinks and two dishes.

I decent place for Italian in a pinch. There aren't many option at the lake, so you can get all the staples here without having to wait.

Great service and good entrees and salads. Appetizer we ordered was calamari and it was obviously frozen and fried. Disappointing but not inedible. Server claimed that all sauce and meatballs/sausages are made in house. Even if they aren't, they were very good. I had cannelloni with meatballs while my colleague had chicken Piccata. We were both happy with our choices.

I will have to be dragged kicking and screaming back to Domenico's in Osage Beach. Yes, there's a giant plastic bull in the parking lot. Yes, their specialty is all-you-can-eat prime rib. I'm not saying there weren't warning signs. But I naively gave it a try. It was awful. Unspeakably bad. And to lend insult to injury, it was expensive.
First, toasted ravioli. Somebody in the kitchen opened a bag of frozen, breaded ravioli and fried them. They were served with canned marinara. Pretty lame, but hey, it's fried ravioli. As much as I hate the saying, it's perfect here. It is what it is.
Then, caesar salad. Inoffensive, but a tad heavy on the sauce.
But then, the entrees. I'd ordered the shrimp pasta. It sounded good. It looked okay, I guess. Lots of smallish shrimp, tossed with sauteed tomatoes and mushrooms atop linguine. But then I caught the scent of fish, always a good sign screeching tires and crushing metal are to come. And boy did it.
I tried the linguine first. There was nothing to indicate that they'd done anything with the pasta beyond boiling (too long), draining and tossing it on a plate. There was no sauce, no olive oil, no seasoning whatsoever.
The shrimp, as suspected, were past their prime and - aside from their fishiness - utterly tasteless. The tomatoes and mushrooms were fine, but at $18, this was easily the single most offensive plate of food I've ever had set in front of me at a restaurant. Mrs. SMEs, who found her salsbury steak - I mean veal marsala - decent, brainstormed with me. We're going to give the 5 year-old some pasta, tomatoes, mushrooms and shrimp and say, "make us dinner." And as I paid the $103 tab (&%*$#@%$) I tried to think of ways our kindergartner would fubar a dish of pasta more spectacularly than what I'd just experienced. We'll see. At least he'd toss in some olive oil and salt. -

My family and I have been coming here every time we arrive at the Lake ever since I can remember. Literally, straight from the airport. The service here is awesome and the owners are the nicest guys ever. I have to say that the food isn't the best in the world by any means, it's still really homey and welcoming... total comfort food. The fact that there's Rat Pack music in the background only makes it better!

Overrated. Host made us wait for 20 minutes on a weekday night when half the tables were empty so we would spend some money at the bar and game room. Food was nothing spectacular. There are much better places in town. I'd look elsewhere.
