A little while ago Ricky's father came to visit us. He flew into New Orleans, so after we picked him up I wanted to eat somewhere fun. Being in Northwest Florida doesn't really give you the restaurant options that I so very much like to have.
I decided that I wanted to eat at one of John Besh's restaurants, and between the three of us we chose Domenica. It was outstanding, and here's the proof!

My oxtail ragu over house made pasta with fried chicken livers.
Yes. Chicken livers.
Don't knock it 'till you try it.
Ricky's pizza with prosciutto and arugula. I love that the arugula was just piled on after the pizza was cooked.
The lovely dining room.
This tasted like Christmas. They called it "the velvet fig," it had fig vodka, orange juice, and something else wonderful... it was spicy and sweet and delicious. It honestly did taste like Christmas, almost like a mulled wine. It is now my lifelong mission to recreate this drink.
Dessert was a pistachio semifreddo in chocolate sauce with cherry compote.
More please!
If you're ever in NOLA, I highly recommend Domenica. It's upscale dining in a casual environment with reasonable prices. Who doesn't love that?
