A word from Domenica

The name means Sunday in Italian and is JOHN BESH's new restaurant in the renovated Roosevelt Hotel is as warm and inviting as a traditional Sunday supper in a rural Italian village, where each bountiful dish is lovingly prepared with the purist ingredients according to ages old techniques.

"MY wife, Daughter (17), and I recently visited New Orleans for the first time. Domenica was in our Hotel - the Roosevelt. We liked it so much the first time - we went back 3 days later. The Pizza was great as was the Chef's selection of meats and cheeses for an appetizer. Pasta's were great also - we tried Garganelli, Anolini, Lasagne Bolognese and Spaghetti with sea urchin which was also great. We highly recommend Domenica !"

"The food was excellent. The waitress was attentive, helpful, and extremely nice. They served a special Passover meal that was amazing. The pizza and the bronzini were delicious as well! Don't miss it when you are in New Orleans!"

"Service was not up to standards I've enjoyed in previous visits, I've been to Domenica every year since they opened. However, they were betty busy ac/dc, I was told, short on staff. I didn't see the chef in the dining room, either.

However, as usual, the good was excellent and the Le Bastille montepulciana delicious. I'll visit every time I'm in New Orleans."

"The food was fine. Not remarkable. The service okay. This was on a Friday night. We went back on Sunday and the service was much better, less hectic and more attentive.The space is loud on a busy night. Hard to talk to each other."
