The Times-Picayune critic Brett Anderson has named The Roosevelt Hotel's Domenica, from celebrity chef John Besh and chef-partner Alon Shaya, one of his Top 10 New Orleans restaurants.
From the restaurant's website:
"The name means 'Sunday' in
Italian, and partners John Besh and Alon Shaya have created a restaurant
in the renovated historic Roosevelt Hotel that is as warm and inviting
as a traditional Sunday supper in a rural Italian village, where each
bountiful dish is lovingly prepared with the purest ingredients
according to ages-old technique. Domenica's warm and welcoming dining
room is anchored by a number of refectory tables for just such lively
meals, and none of the restaurant's handsome wooden tables is covered
with a formal cloth: instead, in keeping with the homey tone, each place
is marked with a paper place mat printed with the menu."
James Beard Foundation: Alon Shaya, Best Chef: South finalist, 2012-13
"Located
in the Roosevelt Hotel, chef John Besh's newest restaurant focuses on
rustic Italian-style dishes using local ingredients, such as pigs raised
on the Northshore for Besh's restaurants. Many pastas are made in
house. Dishes include grilled pompano over salsa verde, fennel and Anson
Mills polenta."
