DOMENICA RESTAURANT, LLC

What DOMENICA RESTAURANT, LLC does

Domenica Restaurant, LLC operates a single full-service Neapolitan Italian restaurant at 123 Baronne Street in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. Open daily from 11am to 10pm, the restaurant serves wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas, handmade fresh pastas prepared daily, antipasti, secondi, and dolci, complemented by an Italian-focused wine list, custom-brewed beers, and seasonal craft cocktails. The defining technical asset is its iconic wood-fired oven, which prepares the restaurant's signature pizzas along with roasted vegetables and meats.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: dine-in service at the Baronne Street location, with menu prices ranging from roughly $5 (house-made ciabatta) to $75 (16oz prime ribeye); direct online ordering and digital gift card sales via Toast Tab; and private events booked through a dedicated Sales and Catering Coordinator, including The Cellar private dining room (capacity 30) and full restaurant buyouts (up to 120 seated / 150 standing). A daily 3pm–5pm happy hour featuring half-priced pizzas and discounted drinks drives off-peak traffic. Reservations flow through OpenTable and phone, and the restaurant lists on WeddingWire and The Knot to capture wedding and celebration bookings.

The customer base spans local residents, tourists, corporate event planners, and wedding hosts, with menu offerings and pricing positioned for mid-to-upper per-person checks. Domenica is a subsidiary of BRG Hospitality (Borgne Restaurant Group), which also operates sister concepts Borgne and Pizza Domenica (three locations). Executive Chef Phillip Mariano, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and New Orleans native who joined Domenica's opening team in 2009 as sous chef, was promoted in 2025 to lead the culinary teams for both Domenica and Pizza Domenica. The business is privately held with no public listing, funding rounds, or disclosed revenue figures.
