We ate here for our anniversary. This is one of our go to places for special occasions. The service is always great. The server paid attention to us without being overbearing. The only caveat is that the dining area is small and can get loud. The meal came quick. We ordered a Caprese Salad which was great. The mozzerella tasted good and the tomatoes were red and fresh. The balsamic they used was also top rate. They split the order in 2 and served on separate plates which wa since so we wife and I did not argue about who got more. For the main cause, I had Poppy's Chicken which is always good. I like food a little spicy and this meets that bill. The sausage on top of the chicken is actually a little hot (spicy). Sometimes dishes like this do not have as much topping as I like. in this case it was perfect. Finally for dessert, we had the Barry callout chocolate cake. People in the US do not realize how good of chocolate Callout makes but you can taste it in the cake. The final good word is that this is a BYOB establishment, and we like that too because wine is always so overpriced. The bottom line is that we will continue coming here for special occasions. The food and atmosphere is great. read more

Domani Star has been consistently great for years. Split the caprese and it was nice that they plated it separately for us. The moz, tomatoes were fresh and terrific. The balsamic that was drizzled on it was incredible. Bronzino came with broccoli and whipped potatoes. Delicious! Completed the meal with warm chocolate cake, fresh whipped cream with drizzled caramel, strawberries and nuts. Yum! The ambiance is relaxed. read more

I heard the meatballs were magnificent! So I had to try it! Dinner is served family style so we got to share many different dishes ! It was my first time having polenta. It taste just like cheese in my opinion, which is a wonderful thing! We shared beef salad, which was so colorful and delicious ! All sorts of dark greens, nuts, crumble cheese and dried fruit! Very exciting and delicious and nourishing. I enjoy the calamari! Fresh and delicious! My party also ordered salmon which was cooked to perfection and so delicious and lovely and I feel so healthy!! For dessert, they brought out bread, pudding and tiramisu with cappuccino, and it was magnificent and delicious ! What a delightful evening it was! I would enjoy coming back here!!! Cute artwork on the wall! Some lovely pork shirts, as well as artistic renderings of maps of Doylestown! It's a beautiful old building and I enjoyed dining in this town !! Great service !!! read more

We had never been to Domani Star, so we put it on our list and tried it. We had reservations for a Saturday evening. There was no problem with getting us seated on time. Others have commented on the decor; it was by no means objectionable, but it was dated. We weren't sure of the dress, so I'd say we went business casual. There were people in shorts and jeans, business casual, and some that chose to dress up for the night out. For appetizers we shared the eggplant rollatini. It same with a side of arugula salad. Both were good. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Nice flavors and a decent portion for two. We like a little crispness to our eggplant which this didn't have but it was good. For entrees we had the cheese lasagne and the rigatoni with short rib. The cheese lasagne was meh. Maybe a 3/5. LOTS of cheese. I mean, it was cheese lasagne so that makes sense, but it seemed so dense. I think the noodles were overbaked, so. They were as soft as the cheese. The flavor was OK but kind of bland. The short rib rigatoni was very good, a 4/5. Al dente noodles and a delicious sauce. Personally, I would have appreciated noticeable pieces of short rib, but it was there. Service was fine, maybe a little slower than we appreciate, but fine. Overall, a decent Italian restaurant in the Borough. read more

Place is cool. Great location. Small and hip. Dinner food was excellent. I had pesto with grilled shrimp. Shrimp grill flavor was great. Pesto pasta very fresh. All the food was top notch. Service was good. Attentive and friendly. Ambiance is good for a little Dtown bistro. But, it's small, so if you are unlucky enough, as we were, to be seated next to two large, loud groups, forget having conversation over dinner. It was super loud. We were yelling across the table just to hear each other. So, if you miss that, it's all good. Good food and service. Go for it. read more

Domani Star catered our holiday party in 2024 with a fabulous spread including the famous polenta (5 stars!), baby arugula salad with delicious dressing, fresh breads and butter, Hot eggplant parm (very good), Chicken picatta and more. Everything was truly excellent and I recommend them for a (pricey but worth it) party or private event. Can't wait to try their Sunday brunch. read more

While the atmosphere was nice, the rest left a lot to be desired. We asked when booking for a window seat. While they could not promise they said it should be fine at our reserved time. We arrived and there was a table available but they said we could not have it. It sat unoccupied for 45 mins into our seating. Our waitress was not pleasant whatsoever and actually made us feel like we were putting her out having to take our orders. The appetizers were very average. The bruschetta we ordered with mozzarella on top and the cheese way so cold that it made it impossible to cut. The charcuterie platter was basic. We had three different main dishes. Two of the three were rated 8/10 and the last was a pesto that had the toughest and poorly seasoned shrimp on top. When we alerted our server to this she blamed us for not telling her at the time. Yes she never returned to our table after service to ask how everything was. She also failed to offer any specials which we came to discover after were written in a piece of paper on the table. Deserts were average at best. Have traveled extensively throughout Italy, this is certainly not the authentic experience it's claimed to be. Disappointed in Doylestown read more

This is our regular place for special dinners! Each different dish we ordered was just excellent. A classic meal each time.

I went for Mother's Day Brunch and the food was phenomenal. It's a cute little space that I highly recommend reservations for. I had the seasonal pancakes and an omelette. Definitely on the list to go back to for the dinner menu read more

Absolutely delicious and the staff was very attentive. The ambiance and energy of the restaurant was super comfortable and welcoming. My salmon was perfect and the mushroom risotto was probably one of the best I've had.... husband had short rib rigatoni.... and loved it..... we will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time dining here but it had always looked busy so I was expecting a great experience. What I received was average. To start, the inside decor is not Italian by any stretch of the imagination. I could have been in any 1990's cafe, it was dated. The brunch which was an omelette was not seasoned, toast overcooked and cappuccino came out cold. Shame. Staff seemed stretched covering a few tables so I was constantly looking for the wait staff. Not sure if dinner service is better but it has put me off returning. read more

My husband and I have dined here for many years; dinners, brunches, etc. and it's gone from being very very good to excellent on all counts. Brava!! read more

Domain Star has consistently incredible food! We got their calamari which are lightly fried in the best possible way. So crispy but not too much batter. This time I opted for branzino, which I never had there before, and it was perfect. It was a nice portion, grilled with capers, with a side of mashed potatoes and broccoli. I asked for a side of the marinara we had with calamari because it was so delicious, and I dunked my broccoli in it. It was great! For dessert, we had tiramisu. I have had better in my life, but it was still good and served with fresh whipped cream and berries. Love going here to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had a fantastic meal with friends on a beautiful night outside on the sidewalk. The food was amazing, and the energy of the staff, including Morgan is relaxed and welcoming. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday. We like the place. I had one of the most tender calamari ever, exactly the way it should be. However, it could use more seasoning and not rely solely on the marina sauce. The atmosphere was cozy. The place is limited so I recommend making a reservation. We each had a pasta dish, which were good. He had the short rib and I the crab meat. His dish was so flavorful and delicious. Mine could use some more seasoning. We had the bread pudding for dessert, which was good but too sweet for me. The cappuccino was good as well. The service was okay. read more

Very limited NA drink menu outside of water. Appetizers were decent but had to ask for ice separately from the water Service was great. Ambiance is homey if not a little dated Great and accessible location in downtown Doylestown Main courses were solid but not special Overall it was good but not the best Italian in town. But the prices were pretty decent for Doylestown and the portion sizes were solid. read more

I really love this place. We finally stopped in for the first time last year and it has become a go to eatery. This BYOB Italian restaurant is a quaint restaurant that serves delicious meals with a lively dining experience complimented with outstanding service. Once a month on Fridays they also host jazz musicians. My favorite menu item is the Gorgonzola polenta. It's is one of my favorite appetizers in the Philadelphia area. If you haven't tried this place, make it your next stop! read more

My lemon sole was delicious but my husband's halibut was overcooked and dry. The service was lovely but they definitely need sound panels as it was very noisy. It was hard to hear the person across the table. read more

We had hoped so much for a superior Italian food experience. Table spacing and ambience where nice. Everything was clean, service was timely, and friendly until we questioned the meatballs.... Where it got weird was when the host said no bread is available on Sundays or Mondays... how do you function as an Italian restaurant without "fare la scarpetta" .... Salads where decent, Caesar was ok, not much to talk about but fresh, very little dressing, insulate de capra was delicious. The menu looked amazing, we ended up getting meatballs and their signature dish fazoletti with short ribs... when they came out they were beautifully presented. We were excited to try them. The meatballs ......they had a crust on the outside and the inside was like a pate', when we asked we were told that's the expected texture.... We missed that in the menu... but flavor wise they made us wonder if we caught Covid... and lost our ability to taste. Fazoletti was gorgeous to look at, but again... no flavor. No garlic, no salt, no herbs, almost tasted watery. Noodles where very well done if you could find them. Very few involved in the serving, almost like a stew with a couple noodles thrown in We wished this was better, but won't be back. read more

Not thrilled. Didn't feel respected by hostess. We weren't greeted properly or politely. Were we an inconvenience? That's the impression we were given. Extremely disappointed. read more

I am giving a 2 star review only because the service was very good. Servers tried hard to please but there is just no getting around bad food. To put it bluntly the food here is cafeteria level. Bland with no taste. How can you ruin pasta? They managed. We started with Bruschetta which was literally a piece of toasted Italian bread with cherry tomatoes chopped in half thrown on top. No seasoning and impossible to eat without spillage because the cherry tomatoes were not diced. Worse was the polpette, a classic dish I always order in Italian restaurants. They deep fried the meatballs and served them with a slice of lemon. No red sauce. The result was a mushy, acidy mess that I found inedible. I ate half of one and my husband finished the others only because the appetizer was priced at $18. Our entrees were no better. My husband ordered a penne pasta dish that was tasteless and my salmon portion was ridiculously small for $32. They threw some unseasoned broccoli on the side and did a banquet hall style "piped"mashed potatoes in a swirl which was also bland. It was like something from the 70's. It's a shame because they have a prime space on State Street but the food is just not up to par. read more

We come here every Christmas Eve. I have been doing this for years. We have never been disappointed. Morgan and her team are wonderful. They go out of their way to make you feel special and try to accommodate which they have for me for years. The food is good. The people are good really special place. read more

Food is always consistent every time I go. Have great specials 90% of the time. Only thing I would say is it gets pretty loud in the 8 o'clock hour, but other than that staff is extremely nice & food is delicious. read more

We were so excited to finally eat eat here after reading the reviews and we were very disappointed. Maybe it was the staff working on Memorial Day? The salads were good but the entrees were tasteless. I hate too much salt in food but this was one rare meal where I wanted more seasoning. My meatballs were bland and honestly reminded me of soft dog food. It was really disappointing. read more

Food was not good. Def not Italian. I was surprised at how much I did not enjoy given its reputation . Skip this place

My personal favorite in Doylestown. Everything I have had is delicious. My favorite is the Bronzino. It's simple and decadent. You can never go wrong here. I also love that they are a BYOB and the new outdoor seating is cool :-) read more

I have been here twice now. The first visit was exceptional. The second visit was even better. The meatball appetizer was one of the most amazing meatballs I have ever had. Their service is outstanding, the ambiance is quant and casual and the food is so darn good. You have to go and judge for yourself. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Make the effort to get to this place. I highly recommend it. read more

Truly a fantastic restaurant. BYOB. Recently expanded so less crowded - still, a bit noisy when completely full. Mixed and original menu, with excellent service. Seats by the windows or outside are premium. Today's Linguini Autonno was one of the best meals I've ever tasted - and we're very used to eating very well. Marvelous. read more

Love this place! We've been going here for about 10 years. The food doesn't disappoint. We started with fried calamari and one of the salad specials. The calamari was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The salad was a spring mix with candied pecans pieces of pineapple and goat cheese. The vinaigrette was light. Without fail, my husband gets the spaghetti and meatballs! The meatballs are breaded and fried and delicious. I usually get one of the specials. The Sea Bass was delicious although there was a piece of cartilage in it. It was served with mashed potatoes and veggies. Next time I'll request less butter sauce on the plate. The short rib and pasta is also delicious! Special requests are accommodated without a problem On Friday nights, there's a jazz duo that are amazing. The music creates a nice ambiance. The restaurant is located on the Main Street in 2 separate store fronts. So if you want to hear the jazz duo requests that room. It's BYOB. The staff happily accommodate with an ice bucket and glasses. The waitstaff is consistently good too. read more

Food at Domani Star is amazing. I have never been disappointed. Staff treats you like family and the ambiance is warm and inviting

This was one of the last restaurants in Doylestown I had on my list to visit and it was most certainly worth the wait! Truly fantastic, authentic Italian dishes prepared to perfection and served by a friendly and attentive staff. It's very cozy in there but it makes the atmosphere that much better, especially on a cold winter night. We started our feast with the Polenta e Gorgonzola and the Polpettine dei Bacaro di Venezia (Polenta and meatballs). Both were simply amazing and well prepared. The gorgonzola cheese sauce on the polenta was addictive to say the least. I was mopping it up with the bread, just awesome. Having the meatballs with a little twist of lemon and some parmesan vs marinara was a really nice (and new) treat. For the entrée I had the Ravioli con Manzo da Brasare which was cheese ravioli with slow cooked short rib, asparagus and sweet potato. An out of this world combination! My girl had the had one of the evenings specials which was ziti, asparagus and shrimp which smelled and tasted divine. Dessert was the blondie of which we devoured immediately. A really great experience and undoubtedly a hidden gem along West Street with all the surrounding businesses, but this small place packs a big punch! read more

Charming location with excellent service and great food. We had many different appetizers and all were very pleased. Went back a second time and sat outside. Entrees were really excellent- from veal to fish to eggplant. Great place! read more

What an amazing small place. Decided to change our dinner reservation last minute from a pub to a nicer place. The restaurant was walking distance to out hotel and i decided to walk in to make the reservation and they were so accommodating. When we arrived they put us in a great table with amazing service and i must say that was one of my favorite meals ever. All i have to say is try the meatballs you won't be sorry read more

One of my favorite Doylestown restaurants. Nice Italian menu deliciously prepared. Lots of variety. Only dinners these days. BYOB.

Delicious, amazing service and comfortable atmosphere. The rosemary polenta was so savory that I felt the earth move. Chicken Francaise melted in my mouth. The server was so friendly that I wished she could join us. I'll be back. Tomorrow. read more

Great food and excellent staff! Very friendly and attentive. Love walking into town and eating here

We got in on a busy night so that was a plus. Staff friendly. Food just OK for the cost,

Polenta appetizer was amazing. I had the Vitello Vodka, which was also quite good. My husband had the Linguine fra Diavolo, which he said was "okay" and not particularly spicy. As for the atmosphere--it was loud and and "cozy," and I was prepared for this beforehand. What I didn't realize was that some of the tables for two are literally right up against one another, making what was really a table for four, and we were sat at one of these. This was pretty awkward and made for a kind of uncomfortable experience. I did enjoy my meal, however, and would return, although I would definitely request a different seating arrangement when making a reservation. read more

Great food good music good atmosphere good people. Nice setting and great menu. Enjoyed a Friday night here.

We decided to give this place a try on a Saturday with another couple for a dinner, the place is very small, they happened to have a large girls get together seated next to us, they were so loud that their conversation blanket the entire place, I literally couldn't hear my self think and was wishing I had my noise canceling headphones with me. The food was average, nothing to write home about, not sure when I'll be coming back next time read more
