Osteria at Domenico

Timeless Italian fare made with fresh, local ingredients near the winery.

Osteria at Domenico brings an Italian meal and a winery tasting together in one San Carlos stop. House-made focaccia, salumi and cheese, Mama G's meatballs, fresh pasta and stone-hearth pizza give the food menu an inviting, shareable feel. We like that you can build a meal around familiar Italian favorites while exploring Domenico's California-made, Italian-inspired wines through a tasting flight at the table. The setting adds to the appeal: an open kitchen and marble wine bar sit within a black-and-white interior inspired by 1950s Milan. There's also an outdoor patio where dogs are welcome, a useful detail for planning a meal with your four-legged companion. Vegetarian options and gluten-free pizza broaden the choices. For Italian dining in San Carlos, the draw is that combination of an approachable menu, wine discovery and a space designed for lingering over both.
