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!

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.

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!

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!

One of the best stops on the trip to New Orleans. I went for the muffuletta, but didn't even order…read moreit because the menu had too good choices. We started with the andouille sausage and boudin. The andouille was so good! I would definitely bring some home if I could. The Cajun fried ribs were out of this world. They come with a dipping sauce and they are highly recommended! Super flavorful and crispy, no fat or grease. The pig mac was a Big Mac on steroids...so much more flavor and their special sauce and pickles were unbelievable. The pork patties were cooked perfectly and were very good. Great twist on the Big Mac...just way better! Ordered the unsweetened tea and there were endless refills with great service.

This location was walking distance from my hotel and I came by with a few friends and this place…read moredid not disappoint. I got the Muffuletta (per amazing recommendation of the cashier at the front) which was a sandwich I had never tasted before. Also the vibe of this place was truly a butcher style location which was so cool. I travelled from Las Vegas to New Orleans and it was so cool to see the difference in the butchers and deli shops from back home. I wish I could have one of these every week! The olive spread as well as the sesame toasted bun mixed with the deli selection of meats, absolutely fantastic!

We really loved Margot's! It's a super small, cozy, kind of quirky little place, which made it feel…read morereally fun and different. We got the garlic knots, which were fresh and good, but they had a little too much basil for my taste. The house salad, though, was AMAZING. I honestly wasn't expecting to be so impressed by a salad, but it was seriously that good. Then we got the Bianca pizza and added olives, and OMG. It was probably one of the best pizzas I've had in YEARS. The sourdough crust was brick-oven cooked and had the most beautiful blistering and char. It was SO good. For drinks, I had a Bee's Knees and absolutely loved the lemon and honey combination. We also got a spicy margarita, and when they say spicy, they mean SPICY but it was still really good. The staff was friendly and attentive, everything was clean (including the bathrooms), and we just had a really great experience overall. I would definitely recommend Margot's, especially if you're a pizza person. That Bianca pizza was worth the visit all by itself!

Ordered a pizza for delivery along with a Caesar salad. I understand that delivery issues aren't…read morenecessarily the restaurant's fault, but we're only two blocks away and the pizza arrived cold. The Caesar salad had somewhat wilted romaine, and I had to chop it up myself to make it easier to eat. We also ordered two Margherita pizzas, and both could have used more cheese. They had several leaves of basil but no tomatoes, which, in my opinion, doesn't really qualify as a traditional Margherita pizza. Overall, the food was disappointing, especially considering how close we are to the restaurant
