Dominick's Food + Spirits is now open 

at Fitz Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi

Culinary gem serves American classics, Italian Favorites

By David Grisham

Ribbon-cutting marks opening.

TUNICA — Fitz Casino & Hotel welcomed a new culinary gem to its establishment with the grand opening of Dominick’s Food + Spirits, a tribute to the late Dominick “Scoots” Scudiero, a revered figure in the hospitality industry. The ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by Vice President and General Manager Tony Scudiero and his family, marked a poignant moment for the Scudiero family and the casino community.

“This restaurant isn’t just about great food; it’s about honoring my father’s legacy,” remarked Tony Scudiero during the ceremony. “My father loved four things: family, food, people, and Las Vegas. Dominick’s embodies his passion for hospitality and his dedication to making everyone feel like family.”

Named after Dominick Scudiero, known affectionately as “Scoots,” the restaurant features cherished family recipes, including their famous spaghetti sauce passed down through generations. Photographs of Dominick adorn the walls, alongside memorabilia from his storied career in hospitality spanning over six decades.

The menu at Dominick’s offers a blend of hearty American classics and Italian favorites. For lunch and dinner, guests can indulge in dishes like golden-brown crab cakes served with tangy remoulade, succulent Italian meatballs in marinara sauce, and much, much more. For those seeking a taste of the South, the menu includes Southern fried catfish sandwiches and shrimp and grits, a savory combination of sautéed shrimp over creamy cheddar grits.

During the opening we sampled some of the menu items, including crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, meatballs, baked ziti and a variety of desserts. The delicious crab cakes were crispy on the outside and moist, sweet and tender on the inside. The creamy, tangy remoulade perfectly complemented the golden-fried cakes.

The jumbo shrimp cocktail served included generously sized shrimp, fresh and chilled. The sweet flavor of the shrimp was enhanced by a bold, tangy cocktail sauce that provided just the right amount of kick.

The Italian meatballs were season

Samples were delicious!

ed with fresh herbs and garlic, and were succulent, thanks to being slow-cooked in the restaurant’s rich marinara sauce. 

The baked ziti was expertly prepared—served al dente with a rich and flavorful marinara and melted cheeses. It benefited from a gooey, cheesy goodness and a golden-brown crust. Tony said the recipe for the ziti was passed down from his grandmother, Grandma Rose. We also tried the Southwest egg rolls and Buffalo chicken wings, and they were equally impressive.

We sampled a variety of desserts as well, including a memorable lemon cake that was delicate and fresh. Topped with a lemon glaze and lemon zest, it was delightfully zesty.

“We’ve crafted a menu that reflects not only my father’s love for good food, but also his commitment to excellence,” said Tony. “Every dish tells a story, just as my father’s life did.”

In addition to its savory offerings on the lunch and dinner menu, Dominick’s boasts an extensive wine list and has enticing menus for breakfast and brunch. As described on the lunch and dinner menu, the restaurant aims to capture the essence of Dominick Scudiero’s vibrant personality and unwavering hospitality: “Welcome to Dominick’s, where the warm and welcoming spirit of this legendary personality is embodied in every meal we serve and every drink we pour. ‘Cheers’ to you and to Dominick Scudiero, a man who fully lived life with gusto and shared with all his heart! Or, as Dominick would say, ‘Mangia!’”

Dominick’s is open Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Southland Gaming Racing becomes Southland Casino Racing

Today marked opening of 40 live table games at facility

Southland Casino Racing in West Memphis features live table games.

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (April 1, 2019) – Southland Gaming Racing today acquired its formal casino license from the Arkansas Racing Commission and launched live table games at 1 p.m..
The commission approval of the license allows for expanded gaming operations as permitted under the 2018 gaming expansion amendment approved by Arkansas voters.
David Wolf, president and general manager of Southland for Delaware North, said: “Southland is opening up to 40 live table games today, including blackjack, craps and roulette. This new gaming offering has created over 100 jobs here in West Memphis.”
The blackjack, craps and roulette tables are available on both the casino’s first floor and the racing mezzanine’s second floor. Southland has the only “Blaze Roulette” tables in the mid-south region. Blaze roulette tables have an LED lightbox beneath the gaming surface displaying eye-catching animations, game-state prompts and winning numbers.
The license also allows for full-fledged casino operations, including the expansion of slot machines. With 2,050 machines on the casino floor, Southland has the most machines of any casino in the mid-south area.
The launch of table games comes after Delaware North, which owns and operates Southland, in January announced plans for a $250 million expansion of the gaming and entertainment destination to include a new casino complex and high-rise hotel. Construction on the project is expected to begin this summer, with completion of the casino complex and parking garage anticipated about 12 months later and hotel tower about six months after that.
