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 margherita pizza and lasagna were elevated, unique and delicious, made with high quality ingredients! The wood roasted shrimp was delicious too! The service was kind, welcoming and pleasant. In the midst of Cajun Mecca I was thrilled to find Italian food that was as good as Italy!

Pizza

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!

Besh's place now joining the "nickel & dime" club. Fees are BS -- raise your prices instead of hiding behind fees

Not as good as it used to be, after their separation with Chef Shaya. Menu is simplified, dishes not as poppin (ex even the roasted cauliflower is prepared differently). It's fine, but no longer amazing. And now they're doing the BS service fees thing, to nickel & dime customers rather than use honest pricing.

Margherita pizza

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!

Tagliatelle

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!

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!

Lasagne

For starters this is a more upscale Italian restaurant. Its next-door to the Roosevelt hotel. The service was amazing, our waiter was very attentive!!! I would call ahead to set reservations. If you have never been here, ask for the waiter to explain the menu. For appetizers we got the ciabatta bread with oil and the meatballs. The bread and oil were very good. The meatballs were generous and had spicy kick. For entrées, we tried the lasagna. Don't be alarmed because the noodles are colored green! The lasagna was ok.. 5/10. If you like orange soda, they have blood orange soda imported from Italy, which is a must try! They box and bag your leftovers for you. All in all the food was ok.. not my fav. Its also $$$.

Squid Ink Tagliolini

I stopped in while I was in town for Jazz Fest and needless to say it was very busy. The restaurant is beautiful, elegant and still somewhat casual. I sat at the bar and I believe that they have the friendliest bartender around, really everyone was great and that's a huge compliment considering how slammed he was! I ordered the Squid Ink Tagliolini with the Blue Crab in herb butter sauce and I had an Aperol Spritz. My pasta was delicious the only thing that could've made it better was More. Crab. The Aperol Spritz was delicious and refreshing. I don't know what's taken so long for me to try this place out but I will certainly be back because there are a lot of things I want to try!

We had a lovely lunch here on a Monday recently during Mardi Gras. We had pizza and we had a meatball appetizer. The wine list is spectacular. All the food was delicious and the server was great. The nicest part was we didn't realize that it was happy hour, so the pizza was half price and so was the wine! We highly recommend it.

This is the perfect place to come anytime but especially before a show at the Saenger or Orpheum Theatres. Their happy hour (3-5 pm half off pizza and glasses of wine) is so good. I love all their pizzas, but I think the clam one is my new favorite. You can never go wrong with their pastas either.

My wife and I had a date night and decided to eat here since it was near the Orpheum Theater where we were going to see a comedian. We weren't disappointed. We started off with their brussel sprouts. They were delicious. They were topped with feta cheese and the sauce was amazing. We then shared a crawfish pizza. This was great as well. Like a crawfish boil on a pizza. The only thing I didn't care for on it were the potatoes. We finished with the molten lave chocolate cake with ice cream. We also had some drinks with dinner. My old fashioned was perfect. My wife loved her belini. I want to say the waitress was really great. She was attentive and knew the menu. This was an overall great experience.

We've had a few people recommend this new pizza place to us in a week, so we had to go try…read more The service was great. Everyone seemed really nice and helpful. It was cool to see the pizza ovens right behind the register. The red top pizza was bomb. It was crispy but still saucy. They do a garlicky butter crust on their pizza which we thought was really nice. It had really good herbs in the crust. The buffalo pizza was pretty good too. Large chunks of chicken with a bit of cheese and a blue cheese sauce drizzled on top. I wish there was a bit more tomato sauce / buffalo sauce, but that's just my preference. Overall, the pizza did remind me of a thin, crispy NE style pizza. And I love that they do by the slice too. I would love to try their white pizza next

We were recommended to this spot by our awesome AirBnB hostess. You can literally smell the dough…read moreand garlic from the street! Street parking only, but don't let that stop you from popping in! We were greeted right away by both the chef and the waitress. So nice and friendly! We ordered cheese pizza and some drinks. Totally easy to eat in the car while waiting for our rooms to be ready. The cheese pull on the first bite was absolutely gorgeous! Perfect warmth, perfect sauce to cheese ratio, delicious crust. This is a triple whammy! Definitely take the time to check them out. They have lots of indoor seating and it's cool inside!
