Espresso martini, dirty martini
Kristina M.

Had an absolutely delicious meal at Domenica over the weekend. Started with bread, the shrimp and meatballs for apps and had the Carne pizza and Rigatoni for mains. So dang good! Their cocktails were top notch. So fun ending our evening at the Sazerac bar! Our server was lovely! Very attentive and great energy

A beautiful Italian restaurant with good food. Highlight of the meal? Our waitress Heather. She was spunky, warm, and absolutely made our evening more enjoyable, sharing great vibes with the whole restaurant!

The ambience here is great and the service was really nice, however when it came to the actual meal we were pretty disappointed. For almost $30 this was a letdown with flavor and texture. The sauce is extremely fishy and had almost no flavor otherwise. We had to add salt and pepper to make it better. We both didn't finish our meals and would've sent it back if we didn't come in starving. Maybe there's something better on the menu but this was not it

Ribeye and potatoes
Tracy W.

Attached to The Roosevelt Hotel. I ordered a Bacardi and Coke. What they gave me was colored water. I couldn't even drink it. The ribeye and potatoes were cooked well and tasty. Not the best ever but good, I then had a Banana parfait style dessert that was a beautiful presentation. It was very sweet but it was good. The service was quick but not friendly at all. I will try it again to see if I have a different experience on my next visit.

Lasagna
Pash Lee L.

Very upscale Italian restaurant FOOD: Delicious but very rich and filling. I had their lasagna and it was very unique, it wasn't your traditional lasagna as the pasta noodles were green and it had some other unique flavors going on but we liked it. AMBIANCE: The perfect ambience really. I can't stand going to a restaurant for dinner and it is bright lighting but this was absolutely perfect. Not too light and not dark. The perfect in between. Music was nice and appropriate and the interior decor was very upscale. Like if I was to ever to open a restaurant this decor would be my inspiration. ENTERTAINMENT: N/A SERVICE: Great service from our waiter and other staff floating in the area. The receptionist/hostess are is nice but the hostesses themselves could be a bit more welcoming. DRESS CODE: Business casual to smart casual. I wouldn't dress bummy in here or with a sweatshirt or hoodies or anything like that. *YELP ELITE REVIEW DISCLAIMER: These opinions and experiences are my own and may not reflect other's experiences and views of the establishment. I will always provide true, factual & unbiased reviews.*

Rigatoni with the arrabiata!
Swati S.

Having eaten at this restaurant many times over many years, as a local, I've sat at the bar and I've sat in groups at the dinner table. The service is always excellent and last night was no exception, or maybe it was an exception because our service was outstanding. Leah was our server and she was just absolutely phenomenal. Two of the members of my dinner party actually recommended that she should be training other servers because of her professional demeanor. Everybody enjoyed their food. The roasted cauliflower with the whipped feta is still all it is, which is absolutely outstanding. My pasta was delicious. Everybody enjoyed their pizzas and other pasta dishes. It was just a lovely night made more special by Leah. Thank you!

Came here for their pizza happy hour. Even though it doesn't say it anywhere, it truly is half off pizzas and drinks. Came here as a solo diner and the pizza is definitely big enough to share for two people but at that price, might as well get one each. They were flavorful and delicious. The servers were so nice and friendly. The place would be awesome to come with a few friends or a date. Great service and would come back!

Marisa P.

This was definitely a disappointing dinner due to the food. Service is wonderful and no fault to them, but an overly salted chicken and inedible fishy shrimp was terrible. The appetizer cauliflower was tasty, but super awkward to cut since it is served whole. A salad looked brown and I didn't eat it. With all of the choices in the area I definitely would not dine here again.

I had a special dinner here to conclude a group trip to New Orleans and it was a fantastic dinning experience. Let me start by saying that I'm not a big Italian food person. Mostly since there aren't usually a lot of vegan options, but there were enough here that I had options! I ended up having the rigatoni without cheese and although it's simple, it was delicious and quite similar to pasta that I had in Florence, Italy! It paired nicely with the French Pinot noir we had for the table. Our server was so classy and attentive and made sure everything was perfect. We always had fresh water and he poured the wine for us. He even surprised the birthday girl with a delicious dessert! The ambiance is one of the best parts too. It's beautifully decorated with dim lights, art and a super fancy bathroom. This is the perfect place for a special occasion dinner! The only thing I can think to recommend would be bread for the table.

Pizza
Stacy E.

The service was excellent and we were seated right away in a packed out restaurant. The pizza was good! Salads were fresh! I enjoyed the dim lights and atmosphere which is perfect for a date night! Yes, I recommend this place, cheers!

Margherita pizza
Rachel M.

The ambiance of this restaurant is beautiful. I try to make it a point to go during the holidays because of the beautiful display in the connected Roosevelt hotel. The happy hour is the time to go. It's half off pizzas, wine, spritzes, etc. Definitely worth the money. My daughter says their Margherita pizza is her favorite ever! The drinks were delicious. We had the Margherita, tutto carne, and white pizza. All were good but the white was my favorite. The charcuterie was not worth the $30. Everything else was great! Service is always good. Will definitely be back!

Bar area

After a long day, my wife and I wanted to stop somewhere before we headed to our room. This place looked interesting earlier in the day while we were exploring so this was our stop. They are not association with the Roosevelt hotel in anyway. They have a fairly simple menu with a good wine list. We decided on the Calabrase pizza along with a Negroni. My wife enjoyed their iced tea. We also had their bread service. Sitting at the bar, we enjoyed ourselves chatting with our bartender. All in all two thumbs up!

Tagliatelle
Sarah W.

Really great upscale Italian restaurant in downtown New Orleans. It's located adjacent to the Roosevelt hotel. Great spot for a girls dinner or a date night. Because it's busy, I will say our service was a bit slow at first. However, once we ordered the food came out relatively quickly! I loved the cocktail I ordered, and the whole table loved the roasted cauliflower and whipped feta appetizer. I had the tagliatelle for my entree and it was amazing as well. Prices were a bit high, but to be expected for a nicer restaurant in downtown New Orleans. Overall great place for a fancy Italian meal!

We saw on the menu that checks could not be split, which was fine even though split would be preferable to us. So, when our server told us the check can't be split but she can "take multiple cards" I was a bit confused and asked if she could explain more since that's what we might do, since she said it was possible. Already there she gave attitude and said I don't know how else to explain it to you in a rude tone. After we finished our food, we asked her to take multiple cards for the check and she told us to write on the back what to charge each card. I apologize that I did misunderstand what she meant, and put the items rather than the exact amount to charge each card. She came back and said, "you did exactly what I said not to do." So I said sorry and was in the midst of redoing it by calculating when she just snatched it from me and said she'll just do it. I had no problem doing it nor did we complain even once. After a while, understandably, she came back and basically scolded us, saying what if she was busy she wouldn't have been able to do this....but she said she could do it in the first place! We understood from the get go no split checks but then she gave the option of multiple cards so obviously we took it. The food was good and the ambience was nice. I enjoyed the open kitchen concept and seeing the pizza oven. But the service ruined it for me. I work the food industry and would have never acted this way. Nevertheless, I would come again but would not want that server.

A Perfect "Old-School Meets NOLA" Date Night…read more If you are looking for a true "date night" atmosphere where you aren't treated like just another table number, Vincent's Italian Cuisine is a gem. Having grown up eating in New York's Italian stalwarts and traveling through Italy, I'm often skeptical, but Vincent's manages to strike a beautiful balance. It captures that authentic, old school Sicilian vibe without ever feeling tacky, all while maintaining a distinct Southern charm and New Orleans flavor. The Ambiance & Service The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for!! It was intimate, welcoming, and intentional. A huge part of that experience was our waiter, Greg. He was incredibly hospitable and kind, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. The Food The food quality overall was excellent. We ordered: The Pork Chop: This was the absolute star of the night. I would order this again in a heartbeat. It was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Crab and Shrimp Linguine: The seafood was fresh and the linguine is clearly homemade. Wine Selection: They have a lovely wine list that paired beautifully with the meal. A Note on Texture & Coffee My only critique for the kitchen would be the pasta texture. As someone who prefers a firm bite, the pasta here leans much softer. While homemade pasta is softer, the penne was a little too soft for my liking. We specifically requested our side of penne be prepared al dente, but it still arrived quite soft. If you are a die hard fan of firm pasta, just be aware of the house style. I did not mind it much once it did come because everything else was perfection. We finished the night with a slice of chocolate cake, which was delicious. However, the coffee was a bit of a letdown. It felt a little watered down and could definitely be stronger to match the richness of the dessert. Final Verdict Despite the softer pasta and the mild coffee, I will absolutely be returning to Vincent's. The hospitality and the quality of the main courses make it a standout. I'm already looking forward to trying more of the menu! The hostess was also a real gem and so warm. THANK YOU!
