Appetizers

One’s culinary journey at House of Domes begins with its hors d’oeuvres.

Seafood lovers ought to try their “Fritto Mare E Terra,” which is made up of crispy fried calamari, shrimp, zucchini slices, and shishito peppers, accompanied with marinara dipping sauce.

An equally noteworthy appetizer is their “Gamberi e fagioli,” which features Grilled shrimp, Cannellini beans, and diced cherry tomato slices.

Main course

As an entrée, their “Tagliata Di Manzo” (sliced prime New York strip steak) was juicy and tender as it was served with its own truffle mushroom sauce, and accompanied with roasted potatoes.

The “Tagliata Di Manzo” dish alone is worth the trip to House of Domes. The mushrooms and roasted potatoes were just as impressive as the steak meat.

Pasta

The mushrooms and the pistachio pesto helped elevate this dish to a higher level.
