Was a very busy night and we walked in for a party of 7. I understand that it's crowded and busy,…read moreso we were very patient and respectful. 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.

My wife and I stayed at The Roosevelt Hotel for five nights in early September, and we had the…read morepleasure of visiting Domenica, conveniently located in the main hotel foyer, on three different occasions. Twice for happy hour and once for a full dinner. Every visit was a wonderful experience. The food was consistently delicious, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was exceptional. We sat at the bar each time and were taken care of by Conner and Michael during our visits. Both were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they made some excellent recommendations that really added to our experience. The pizzas and housemade charcuterie were particular standouts and are definitely a must-order. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, and both made for great choices whether you're stopping in for happy hour or having a full dinner. What stood out most was how genuinely welcoming the entire team was. Everyone seemed to truly enjoy what they were doing and took pride in making sure guests were well taken care of. That kind of genuine hospitality can make a big difference, especially when you're staying at a hotel and looking for a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself. The happy hour at Domenica is also a fantastic value, with great food and drinks at very reasonable prices. If you're staying at The Roosevelt or simply in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping in and taking advantage of it. Overall, Domenica became one of our favorite spots during our stay. Between the excellent service, great food, welcoming atmosphere, and terrific happy hour, we had a consistently enjoyable experience every time we visited. We would happily return the next time we're in town.

Service didn't disappoint on par of what i was expecting. The food was a mixed bag of good or bad…read more The bad, pizza and speghetti . My 7 year old had one piece and didn't want to eat it. Just cheese pizza. Of course we already ordered one for us and yea agree. No sauce, super thin crust and just a lack of good pizza flavor. Had the white and added prosciutto. Won't be going for pizza here. Speghetti also had an odd flavor which the kids not I enjoyed. Kind of like vinegar. The tagliatelle though was amazing. The sauce was spot on just a little too frugal with it. The truffle was a great mix and just the whole dish was a balance of savory umami. Would love to see a protein with it though. Tried the meat and cheeses which were fantastic as well with the accompaniments and fried bread. I really enjoyed the chicken patte. The prosciutto was good nothing exciting. The bresaola was ok. The matru, bocconcino, and Harbison were all good. Of all the desserts tried the lemon sorbet was best but thats from brocatos. One of my fav places. The banana cake was not bad. Liked how it wasn't that sweet if you don't eat the brittle. The chocolate coconut didn't care for because of the hazelnuts. Will have to try another pasta to see if they match the deliciousness of the tagliatelle.

We were given water and menus. We had two servers and both were very friendly. A short while later, they served a bread amuse-bouche, which equated to garlic bread with cheese and tomato sauce. I wasn't impressed. For dinner, I requested red fish and wife requested bolognese. Not long after, our food was delivered. My fish was covered in shaved almonds and was served with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes. I loved the meal. The green beans were buttery and cooked perfectly. I love anything with sweet potatoes, so those were a home run. The fish was cooked perfectly and was very well seasoned. Excellent dish! My wife's bolognese was also exceptional. Another home run! Great food, excellent service! Love this place.

Having been to Irene's before, my one recommendation would be to order the Meunière Amandine over the shrimp and crawfish fettuccine. The fettuccine was good, but the Meunière Amandine is definitely the dish I'd choose on my next visit. Parking is definitely luck of the draw since it's street parking, so I usually just Uber for the convenience. Overall, another enjoyable meal at Irene's!

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!

The Napoleon House is well worth a visit when in New Orleans. This establishment has been operating…read moresince 1914 and are not serving righteous Italian Muffuletta sandwiches, Gumbo, and Red Beans and Rice and of course their famous and fabulous Pimm's Cup cocktails. We dined here twice during our last visit and lady luck was on our side as there was no line and we were seated immediately. Of course we started with a Pimm's cup. There are three options, but we stuck with their original. Want to sample all three then order their flight of Pimm's. The muffuletta is served warm and can be ordered whole, half, or quarter. This is a classic sandwich stuffed with all your favorite cold cuts, provolone cheese, and of course their homemade Italian olive salad. Do not sleep on their hot pastrami sandwich served with creole mustard. Of course, their gumbo and red beans and rice is to die for. Napoleon never dined here but if he did, he would have left a happy man as did we.

The red front door is the marker. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but we were so focused on the incredible food, we forgot to take food pics. Sorry. Look on Google. We go here every time we are in NOLA. The food is consistently excellent and it does not matter what you order. We have at least half the menu plus some specials and each time so happy. What makes the meal even more incredible is the servers. We seem to get a different one each time, so the show is different each time. When I say show, I mean the entertaining interaction you have with the staff. It's awesome. Not only do they know their menu, but also let their personalities run wild. The last guy actually served us dinner and grabbed a chair and told about his travels....like while we eating. Haha. So fun. The place isn't much and it doesn't need to be. It's a mush mash of art and paint and other stuff. AND IT ALL WORKS. it is comforting and interesting. All in all a great time and a great meal. A must go.....if you can find it. The red door!!!!

Spare yourself the disappointment and pass on Mona Lisa…read more I'm a server in New Orleans and have been in the hospitality industry my whole life - so trust me when I say that this place is a joke. I eat just about anything. I don't shy away from Taco Bell, or even gas station food but I also frequent high end restaurants. I'd rather eat McDonald's over Mona Lisa. The only decent aspect of my meal was the decor in the restaurant. Even the server was short and cold. The food at Mona Lisa is all low quality frozen stuff that they buy from restaurant depot. It was all bland and boring. I would say that at-best the food is mediocre but edible. It feels to me like an elevated Cici's pizza in there. Being in a city that's known for having amazing food and great restaurants - do yourself a favor and pick literally any other restaurant over this place. There's no shortage of amazing Italian restaurants - Irene's, Paladar 511, Pulcinella!, and Giana are just a few other options. I would be embarrassed if I was the owner of this establishment.
