Make a reservation as there are a limited amount of tables. I have always enjoyed this little BYOB gem. The staff is friendly. The food great. read more

Terrible experience! The restaurant is incredibly packed with little room between tables. They tried to pass off farm raised salmon as Artic Char. The meatballs on the spaghetti were hard. We ordered a chocolate dessert that was accompanied by a 4" piece of hair. We sent it back. They brought us a 2nd dessert which had a longer piece of hair in the cake! We were so disgusted! Never again! read more

Great place went there for Valentine's Day food was really good and the service was excellent, will definitely be returning

I had dinner here last night with my husband and friends from Texas. THE BEST DINNER!! I am a pescatarian and the Polenta, salmon, blondie brownie is the triple play to pick!! My husband enjoyed his fra diavolo and my dessert as well. (I was kind and shared.) Our friends had the bolo and lasagna. Chocolate pudding was their absolute favorite! No belly was left unhappy. Service was excellent! The staff is very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back with bottles in hand! read more

I go to Domani Star for Breakfast once every while, and I'm pleased to say that It is my favorite place for Pancakes in Doylestown. Pancakes are delicious! Every single kind is good! The portions are a good size and it is a cozy little diner. The reason I downgraded it a star is because sometimes it can take a long time to get your breakfast. Other than that, Domani Star is great! read more

Cozy little Resturant that is just a slam dunk pick . The Venetian style meatballs are great and a must have. You should also try the polenta served with a Gorgonzola sauce that is awesome. When available get the chocolate pudding. Just a great byob read more

Domani Star is one of Doylestown's "destination restaurants" and I don't really understand why. The Husband and I went there for dinner last night. It's a small little restaurant, painted a biology-textbook shade of pink (you know what I'm talking about) with a dozen or so tables crowded into a room about the size of the average McMansion living room. So naturally, it's very loud at times. The service was slow, but brusque. (Lots of things were thumped down on our table.) And the food was good, but certainly nothing special. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer. Tomatoes and "herbs" (basil was it) cost $3.50 extra. The tomatoes were grape tomatoes cut in half - not cut into little chunks like you might be used to. And it had a heck of a lot of garlic. We both liked it. Our entrees were underwhelming. I got the lasagna della casa alla Bolognese. And I think there was as much salt in it as meat. Wow. I drank three or four glasses of water during dinner and still felt dehydrated afterwards. The Husband ordered chicken with spinach and cannellini beans (I forget the Italian name). He said it was "just OK." For dessert, we got chocolate cake with fruit on top and ice cream and caramel. I make better chocolate cake at home. Dinner was not worth the $70. read more

I hate to be the nay-sayer here, and even checked to ensure I was reviewing the correct restaurant relative to these other positive reviews. I came for brunch, and maybe it was an off day, but it was perhaps my worst dining experience I've endured in the past couple years. They were crowded for the brunch scene, but the wait was only about 5 minutes for a table so I thought we'd give it a go. The maitre'd was very pleasant, but she and some of the staff were extremely casual. Think acid-washed jeans and footwear one step above crocs. I was slightly taken aback. We waited 15 minutes for our waitress to take our order. In the intervening time a host came by to take our drinks order. We had two coffees and a sparkling water. He brought the coffees sans teaspoons (we used our forks), and while doing us the favor of opening the sparkling water, he declined to pour! At this point, I was quite worried. When our food order arrived another 15-20 minutes later, I was so disappointed. My DP had oatmeal and eggs benedict. The oatmeal was inedible, watery instant Quaker Oats. It came with a side of about a cup of brown sugar. I don't know what they were thinking. They did not bring any toast with the eggs benedict, and when my DP requested, they finally brought over some toasts, but no butter! Ominously, there was a stray piece of bacon in the eggs benedict. I had a fruit cup and beets salad. The fruit cup was terrible. Clearly they cut the fruit on the same chop block they use for garlic and onions, since that was what "infused" the fruit. Some of the grapes were old, as well. The beets salad was inedible. The beets were canned, and desiccated looking. The greens part of the salad was okay, but there was an unevenly shaved gala apple on top, which was just weird. The dressing was incongruous. My advice, get the pasta instead. read more

Domani Star is a cute Italian restaurant with a fabulous seasonal menu. If you are looking for a cozy little BYOB restaurant for a romantic evening or a nice place to catch-up with friends over some pasta, this is my #1 recommendation. From Bruchetta to Cappuccino, from Reservation to Bill, Domani Star is a treat! read more

We braved the snowy roads and came for a wonderful meal. Both of us had the fish special with a risotto perfectly prepared. There is a reason why this restaurant has been here for -I believe-at least 20 years! Good choice-bring your favorite vino! read more

Just went Saturday night and it was so noisy .We changed our table two times and it didn't help.

Went here on a Monday night with my wife and in laws for dinner. The food was excellent and the servers were very attentive. I would definitely go back again. read more

First time I went to this BYOB. I would highly recommend getting the meatball appetizer. Salmon was excellent as well. The seating was tight against the window if your looking for a view. The service was excellent in terms of turnaround time. However I was taken aback by our hostess asking us to leave because they had a 9pm reservation. With seating available around us and no line or people waiting to be seated I was literally appalled. I never have been asked to leave a restaurant and was embarrassed for my wife and our company. That's the truth...I hope that this situation doesn't happen to you but be prepared. read more

Amazing dinner...tomato cauliflower soup, crab stuffed shrimp special with whipped potatoes and spinach, my husband had the veal. Desserts are homemade, the whole meal is well worth the price. Service was perfect. read more

I was given a gift certificate to this small restaurant. Not worth a visit! The food was mediocre at best. The atmosphere reminded me of a dinner, staff and help very unprofessional and checking everyone out. Our waitress was nice but everyone else was dismal. The food was way overpriced for the quality. Go somewhere else read more

Great Italian BYOB in the heart of Doylestown. The polpettine (meatball appetizer is delicious) the meatballs are crispy on the outside but juicy and flavorful on the inside and you squeeze fresh lemon on top. We also had the polenta appetizer which was quite good. All the entrees I saw looked amazing. I had the Linguine fra diavlo with shrimp and crabmeat in a spicy plum tomato sauce. My wife had the dover sole which she loved. The service was terrific and we sat outside on the sidewalk on a nice night which was a bonus. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I came here for brunch and it was fair, so we came back for dinner, since it had good reviews. We went Christmas Eve and walked into a very bright lighted restaurant, way too bright. Then I had octopus, which was horrid, it was like rubber. The bread was ice cold and the entrée was not good. High price for nothing good. Huge disappointment. Will not be back. read more

Recently had a FABULOUS dinner at Domani Star in Doylestown. Fresh food, nice presentation and great service, Little noisy in the restaurant as tables are close, however, the delicious meal made up for it. Highly recommend! read more

Someone pass the salt! If you feel like dining out but don't want all the "flavor" that restaurant food normally has, then this is your place. Sometimes it's hard to believe that anyone in the kitchen tasted the food before the customers did. Also, we got the classsic "let me sit you right beside the only other couple in the restaurant because it's more convenient for me" routine from the server. Doesn't that bother anyone besides me? When we asked to move, she huffed and rolled her eyes. Skip it. I think that the positive reviewers must enjoy the blander things in life. read more

Bummer . . . after reading several reviews I was actually expecting a decent dinner. This BYO's wait staff was friendly and attentive, but that's where it ends. The tiny basket of thinly sliced grocery store french bread was poor. Caesar salad had way too much garlic. My "Lasagna alla Bolognese" was no more italian than a taco. I don't think there was a flake of herb or a grain of seasoning anywhere in there. crushed tomatoes and ground beef does not a Bolognese make. My wife's "Linguine fra Diavolo con Gamberi e Granchio" was way too hot. I'm a huge fan of spice but there was incredibly way too much crushed red pepper and I think the crab was slightly off. We're both fans of heat, but she couldn't finish it. There was a fair amount of crab and the shrimp were of nice size, but I am surprised the average person would find this edible due to the heat. Not again. read more

Excellent food and very fresh. Has he special linguine seafood. Very well prepared and tasty. Service is outstanding and very friendly. Strongly recommend this place. read more

Extremely disappointing. I was actually debating between one and two stars. I worked here many years ago when Domani first opened and it was a place I always looked forward to going to and couldn't wait to take family/friends there. The original owners treated anyone who walked in the door like family. It was as if you were walking into their home. There was so much pride in the food that came out of the kitchen and the service given. Bob and Judy would always make it a point to visit each and every table to make sure all guests were receiving the type of service expected by them, telling stories of growing up in NY and just sharing life experiences. It was an intimate and personal experience. If you didn't feel like family when you walked in, you sure felt like family when you walked out. Chris (Executive Chef) even went so far as shutting down the restaurant one night to solely serve my family for a special occasion (years after I stopped working there). How much more personal can you get? We WERE family. Servers tonight wore shorts, t-shirts/tank tops and sneakers. Our sever was wearing flip flops!!!.... I'm no health inspector but, I was in the industry for twelve years and I'm sure this is not only a health violation but safety violation as well (along with tank tops because armpits are exposed). We waited 20-25 minutes for our appetizers and another 30 minutes for our dinners to be served. None of our food was delivered at the same time. When my father asked if we were going to get our appetizers the answer from our server was, "you will." Our wine was opened for us but, not poured, just set back on the table and when our wine glasses were low, we refilled them ourselves. We received apologies of course for the wait but, all felt insincere. There is one kitchen for both restaurants (I found out tonight there is a sister restaurant next door). When you have a kitchen staff of four or five and expand your business, how can you expect your kitchen to keep up? All in all my heart is broken to see such a wonderful, delightful and family oriented restaurant digress the way it has. It seems as though the new owner is trying to pull off a version of a small hipster restaurant vibe you would find in Northern Liberties in Philly - you couldn't decipher between server and guest - (which I have absolutely nothing against because I love/frequent those places and live in Philly) however, Domani Star was birthed on class and has since lost it. Food was amazing with the previous owners and is now average. I used to walk out of there having the best meals of my life. It seems as though it's no longer about family and the dining experience but, all about the money. Sent from my iPhone read more

Atmosphere was on the loud side. Setting was ok. Service style was more like a diner than a fine restaurant. Side dishes were nice but the filet mignon was literally difficult to swallow - sinewy, gray and looked like it had been boiled. The dessert was very good but the canned whipped cream was a disappointment. Overall we would not give it another try. read more

Food is wonderful! Its BYOB which is nice so you can stop and get a nice bottle of wine. The lasagna is my favorite.

Great small intimate Italian place in what I think is central Doylestown. The meatball was moist and supreme and the dessert flan was so rich and delicious. The dining room is tiny and the feel is very personal. I wish I could say more but it's been a long time and I only went once. But let me tell you, even as a vegetarian now, I can still remember how good everything was at Domani, including the meat dishes. read more

One of my favorite restaurants right now is Domani Star. I went to college up in Doylestown and use to frequent the area a lot for lunch. Back in Feb I went here with some friends and had an amazing dinner. So much so I returned back this week to have it again. Sunday - Thurs they have a 3 course dinner option for $24 which I dont know how they can afford to price it that well but they do. Portions on that menu are very large and is more than enough. Would recommend this place if you are in doylestown or anywhere close. As with any restaurant, you will see people leave bad reviews but I completely disagree with the lower star ratings. read more

This is a small family owned trattoria that manages to be unpretentious yet excellent. They don't take a lot of short cuts with the food. They've apparently had the same cook staff for years and it shows. The Bolognese is actually real Bolognese -- takes all day to prepare -- very hard to find in the suburbs. Not quite what you'd find in Tuscany, but it's as close as you'll get here. Calamari was really delicate, not the rubber you get most places -- it had to be made fresh. The fish was likewise prepared with a lot of care. We had a spinach ravioli that was to die for. The other thing I like is the menu changes quite a bit, presumably based on what produce and fish they can find that week. That means if you keep coming back, there will usually be something new to try. Corporate shopping center restaurants can't compete with that. Given the quality of the food, my only request would be that they use fresh pasta for everything, not just the ravioli. If you're spending 6 hours on your Bolognese, it would be nice if you'd spend 30 minutes making fresh tagliatelle to serve it on instead of dried rigatoni. But that's my only nitpick. Service was highly professional and friendly. Prices are a little high for Doylestown, but food this good does not come cheap. And it's a BYO so you save a bundle bringing your own Primitivo to drink with this excellent trattoria food. read more

My friend and I each had the $24/three course dinner as well as delicious calamari as an app. Soup of the day was cold cucumber tomato which I really enjoyed. My salmon with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes was wonderful (tad bit salty). Friend had ceasar salad and spaghetti carbonara (sauce was tasty without being heavy). Bread pudding was delicious. Chocolate cake was just ok. Outside seating is a nice touch. BYOB makes it even better. We'll be back. read more

The food is always delicious, good service, love a BYOB! I wish there were a few more seafood options, and it does get a bit loud in such a small place. read more

This place is phenomenal!!! Best breakfast in doylestown, without a doubt, lunch is a steal, dinner will NEVER leave you hungry, and all the desserts are homemade- what's not to love?! Not to mention it's a BYOB! I can't say enough great things about this restaurant, and everyone I have recommended it to has absolutely loved it. Yes it is small and can get noisy but hello people go find a restaurant in the city that is Byob for the same price and same portion sizes and tell me it's not noisy and crowded! Service is always great, place is always busy, and regardless of where you sit you can ABSOLUTELY hear your conversation with your date/party perfectly fine. This will continue to be my favorite restaurant read more

We decided to go here for our anniversary. We love BYOB restaurants because we can bring our favorites. We had not been here in years and we are so glad we decided to go here again because we have lots of great places here in Doylestown. We had fried calamari with just the lightest hint of coating. It was cooked to perfection, so tender and the marinara sauce was so good we ate the entire pitcher of it! My husband ordered the Bronzino, which came with a mountain of super fluffy mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli. The fish could not have been cooked any better. It was moist and delicious topped with a light butter sauce and lots of capers, which he loves. I ordered the Pasta Autunno, perfect al denta pasta with a lovely, light garlic and oil sauce with tender scallops and loads of succulent crabmeat. It had roasted brussels sprouts, sun dried tomatoes and roasted squash as well...so creative. I loved it. We're looking forward to reruns for lunch today, that's how generous the portions were. We loved the subtle music in the background and the service was perfection...we will be regulars at Domani Star for sure! read more

As always food is amazing.... best home cooked meal on the east coast!! Yum Yum!! perfect for date night or quick take out!

One of our favorite restaurants in Doylestown. I am a picky eater and am a bit adventurous and have not been been disappointed. The servers have been excellent. We suggest making a reservation. read more

Had a delightful dinner here this week. 3 cheese lasagna was delicious and my wife and our friend loved the salmon. A bit loud, but owner was very friendly and service was good. Try the polenta as an appetizer but plan to share since it's so big. It's a BYOB restaurant. read more

Ate there last night with friends. A terrific dining experience. All the food was fantastic. The service was great. Fun night thanks to Domani Star! read more

I love this place!! You can byo if you like. The food is impeccable. A great ace to go for a special dinner.

Gets 4 stars for an amazing breakfast. I am not a pancake fan, but you HAVE to try the pancakes. Really friendly service, great coffee, and their desserts are great too. If they have the chocolate pudding (I know, I know, sounds ho hum..) definitely get it. It's sublime. Dinner here is solid, but doesn't live up to all the hype. It is a good southern Italian offering. We'd still go back, as it is still one of the better and consistent restaurants in Doylestown. read more

Domani Star has excellent food and a helpful, fun, and quirky staff. The restaurant itself is a little small and cramped, but it seems to add to the atmosphere. Our appetizers, entrees, and dessert were all great. Definitely try their chocolate "pudding". It was excellent and the most sophisticated and indulgent "pudding" I've ever had. read more

One of my favorite places a tad pricey but well worth it. Summer time you eat right on the sidewalk.

First time here...came for brunch. Overall, good experience. The food was delicious and I love how they incorporate Italian flare to traditional breakfast dishes. I had the omelet topped with house made bolognese sauce and it was awesome! read more
