Domenica

New Orleans


With its wooden refectory tables, white lights and soaring ceiling, Domenica feels like a village trattoria gone posh. The ‘rustic’ pizza pies at this lively, often-recommended spot are loaded with nontraditional but enticing toppings – clams, prosciutto, smoked pork – and are big enough that solo diners might just have a slice or two left over.

Pizzas, beer and wines are half price during happy hour (2pm to 5pm). More-substantial fare includes creative pastas, smoky meats and an intriguing lineup of soft and hard cheeses.
