No, you can do better.
As other have suggested. If Domenica is a tad confusing, August, Emeril's, or Revolution. Revolution's menu is gigantic, anyone can find something they like. You can and should wear a coat to any one of these places. Enjoy
Oh, and Emeril's is not up for debate. I've never heard anyone have less then a great meal there.

My first thought when you said she was a pasta person, though I love love love Domenica. Haven't had pasta there, though.
Emeril's is terrific. One of my favorites. Not a lot of pasta dishes, typically, though there's a delicious pasta app or small plate.
Commander's is very nice and very good. The menu has been updated and changed over the last several months.
I enjoy Luke, but I usually go for brunch on Saturdays. You could go in the morning before you hit the ship.

I've eaten there a number if times. Everything I've had has been delicious. I follow chef Duke on Facebook. He's been posting some other fine looking dishes.
Really your choice should be something you would both enjoy for this occasion. Many of the other suggestions here are good if you and the bride would both like the sort of food served.
Giovanni is a safe bet. August offers the possibilty of a more adventurous meal. Commander's as well to a certain degree.

I would have recommended Stella too, but not if she's into pasta.

Although I've only been there once, I'm thinking Giovanni may be the best place for the evening the OP is describing.

If the new bride is counting on pasta dishes and you want to have an enjoyable honeymoon, you might want to go to Giovanni.
Seriously, though, if you switch to Giovanni for the bride, do keep the other suggestions on your list to try for future trips when you and she might want to be more adventurous and she's willing to forego pasta with the exception of Domenica because while it's not the traditional pasta type restaurant she may be used to, it's outstanding.
Also, you should know that Giovanni has the opera singers on Th-Sat nights, I believe. They don't sing only opera. They sing a lot of songs and you can make a request with a little greenery. I think it's fun and festive, myself, but some folks don't love it. They walk around but don't stay at the tables and stare at you.

Yeah I saw that, could be interesting.

I like Giovanni and think its a good place. Its not near the level of the other places, but it is good.
I would say, branch out.
