What People Are Saying About Little Dom's
The Editor
Martha Burr

The guys behind Dominick's and the 101 Coffee Shop have brought gussied-up Italian-American dishes to the longtime Belle Epoque space. Although the food is different, the colorful crowd is much the same: Handsome guys straight off the pages of GQ; aging, cape-clad goths in bowler hats and artsy 30-something marketing mavens. The space itself is parlor-esque, with a restored antique wood bar that gleams beneath vintage stained-glass windows and warm red leather booths. The menu incorporates seasonal, local produce in classic favorites like fried artichokes with shrimp and Neapolitan wood-fire pizza, plus inventive additions such as expertly cooked blue nose bass and Parmesan-y chickpea fries.

Thought it would be a good place to try, but it is all about first impressions and unfortunuely we will not go back. I could't even talk about the food because we were never served. The server never came by. All we had was our full bottle of wine and stale bread. Everything was completely taken care of because of the situation, so at least there was an understanding from the house that the order was lost.

I don't get this place. Everything we had was either totally bland or ridiculously salty. It was all insanely overpriced, both for the quality and the portions. The background music was so awful and so depressing it was a relief to get away from it. The staff seemed tense and nervous, even when they attempt to smile. And when you get the check, you can't believe what they charge for this nonsense. I am more than a little surprised by the positive reviews it has gotten, except to say that I work in public relations and many of these reviews sound suspiciously like what a restaurant owner might write as a press release. Hmm....

I think Little Dom's is one of the best restaurants in LA, let alone Silverlake. Brunch is the best deal in town, the ricotta pancakes are "insane" and worth every penny, and "hello" the wild boar bacon...........we (my girlfriend and I) have 3-4 plates plus the $10 bottle of Presecco deal, and our bill is no more than $45 including tip. They have the best italian tuna sandwich other than my mother's..........The pizza's are flat and crispy and delicious. The wait staff is good. It's better to make a reservation, but you can just show up, I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table........I LVOE it!!

Know Before You Go:
The restaurant is small, so reservations fill up fast on weekends and for same-day tables, even on Monday nights. Because the bar accommodates walk-ins for dinner, it's not an ideal place to go for just a glass of wine.
