Dominick's Sunday Supper

By A. Curatolo

What started in 1948 is now a family tradition for many.  Dominick’s Sunday Supper for $15 is the place to be on Sunday night. Anyone who zones an Italian restaurant, I feel would enjoy Dominick’s.  I could totally see Tony Bennett here carrying on with his friends. The amazing thing about a restaurant—a good one like Dominick’s is that regardless of the background or role for the duration of the dining, all are in harmony.  In the future and now we can elaborate on this harmony.

People are happy while dining here at Dominick’s.  I am turned on by this place.  It has zest.  My back is against a beautiful woman, and she is so close, yet, so far.  I don’t mean to be overly concerned with results.  The good vibrations are what count.

The staff is youthful and ready to make it happen.  John is a classy waiter who would enhance any restaurant on the globe…Super Cool.  Big B., Manager Brandon has found a space between Little B. and Big B.  Hence, Big Little B is who he’ll be.

There are two fireplaces inside and out.  The fire burns on this memorable, December crisp night.  Dominick’s transports you to a New York Italian place in Little Italy and The Village in New York or, Hoboken in New York where Ole’ Blue Eyes was born as Frank Sinatra.  Dominick’s is super cool and I understand why people continue to come here.  There is a group of thirty something guys and girls.  They are having a blast by the roaring opening fireplace.  The atmosphere screams first date.  The men’s restroom has about a dozen, mostly amateur original paintings of semi-nude women in good taste and appreciation of real women.  There is even a cypress and olive tree in the patio.

The Italian menu is very Italian. There is no reading between the lines.  The food at Dominick’s is basic Italian food that you find in a steady presentation in places similar. The pretzel like Italian bread comes in white wax paper bags.

I challenged the chef.  I asked him what he would make if Madonna or Giorgio Armani showed up requesting vegetarian meals.  He answered with the grilled artichoke with grilled lemon.  This meal just takes you where you want to be.  I relished every artichoke leaf with my hands and drank the artichoke lemon juice until the plate was white again However, if it is your first date with a Virgo Woman, I would suggest something a little less primitive. The Masala Chicken is certified organic.  There are also organic wines.

I sit here quietly and peacefully deciphering what is going on.  Any survival needs of mine have been satisfied.  I will not be distracting the true ambiance of where I am!  Of course, what a person imbues in peace comes from within.
