Dom's is an interesting place. Family-owned restaurant with helpful waiters who know every item on the menu like the back of their hand. They will happily make joking small talk until you're rolling in the aisles. The plates are enormous and heaped high with great food. The wine is served in crystal glasses that are filled to the brim and that remind me of my grandmother. The wine is bad, but that adds to the charm in my opinion. Actually my love of this resstaurant has more to do with the atmosphere than the food. The food is really very good, but the place makes think the Sopranos are dining in the next room. There is perhaps one window in the place, and I always think the mob will move through to a back room and Tony Soprano will go argue with the guy from the Simpsons. This is a compliment in my strange world. As there are many Italian restaurants in town with similar food, atmosphere makes all the difference for me in choosing where to eat. This place has atmosphere coming out the ears.
