The Margherita pizza and shrimp appetizer were delicious—especially the shrimp, which were outstanding. The truffle pasta, however, was just okay and felt overpriced. The wine was excellent, but our pasta arrived about an hour after we were seated due to a service error. (First they got a fish after 50 mins which we never ordered) We even had to refill our own wine, which was surprising given the restaurant’s upscale setting. There were no apologies from the staff for the late arrival for the pasta (1 h late) Overall, I’d recommend better coaching for the servers and a revisit of the truffle pasta recipe. There’s great potential here, but the experience didn’t fully match the luxury vibe.
The squid ink pasta and lasagna was balanced and complex, the best I've had. Calm low lit upscale atmosphere inside a beautiful building. The complimentary little chocolates at the end were a lovely touch. Only thing that was a negative was that they asked if I had a reservation and did not so sat at the bar which was a little cramped and watched several tables sit there unused within. The 2 hours we were there but not their fault as much as maybe people reserving and not canceling. Also server took our plates without asking if we were done and we had salad and bread we wanted to finish. Still a great experience and impeccable attention to detail with food prep.
If you like cacio e pepe, I highly recommend the tonnarelli! The roasted cauliflower with whipped feta was outstanding, and the chocolate tort with wine-marinated peaches was delicious. The Caesar salad was great too (it's the only thing I got a picture of because I was too excited about the rest of the meal). Our server Leah was very sweet and accommodating!
The atmosphere at Domenica was absolutely amazing warm, vibrant, and full of that welcoming Southern charm. Our waitress was phenomenal, incredibly attentive, friendly, and gave us excellent recommendations that were spot on every time. I started with a Caesar salad, enjoyed a beautifully cooked swordfish entrée that was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and had one of their fresh, creative cocktails it was such a great pairing. To finish, I tried the banana dessert and honestly, it was to die for. The perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. If you’re in New Orleans and looking for great food, fantastic service, and a classy yet comfortable vibe, Domenica is a must-visit!
Visited this pretty restaurant inside The Roosevelt Hotel where we are staying for lunch. Ambience was elegant and restaurant was very clean. Of course there’s a full bar and extensive wine list. Absolutely loved the lasagna. The shrimp pasta dish was delicious. The squid ink tagliatelle was not good. It lacked flavor and had barely any crab in it. I almost went down to a 3 star because the restaurant was far from packed yet the service was very slow. Took a long time to be greeted and we were constantly looking for our server and you’d expect more from a restaurant inside the famous Waldorf Astoria. I do recommend and would return.
