LaScala's - PhiladelphiaLaScala's Never Disappoints!Always great food and service! The talapia is one of our favorites and the calamari is excellent! But you can't go wrong with any item you order.
Try them you will enjoy!6/16/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat italian food!!!My family and I love LaScala's because of the pizza and the home make pasta dishes. The noodles are homemade and are light which we enjoy. Their salads are large and fresh. The pizza is homemake too with it wheat crust and fresh basil which we love. They also have a large selection of desert to pick. I recommend LaScala's for families of all ages!!!6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Dinner before our ShowWe went on a recommendation as a very good and nearby place to eat before our show at the Walnut Street Theater. So True!
It's 3 walking blocks to the theater and the service was fast and wonderful to get us in & out in a timely manner. The bar looked very nice however, we went right to our nice table at the window, as we had requested. The food was delicious! I had the Penne with pancetta in a vodka blush sauce and asked them to add scallops to it, which was no problem. It was awesome! My husband had the veal chop special which was the thickest veal chop that I have ever seen. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this local gem!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMexcellent dinnerwe had a special of the evening wahoo. it was delicious & the lemon basil sauce was excellent too.

Food came out quickly and the wine was delightful. I would recommend the SEAFOOD FRADIAVOLO & BAKED PARMESAN
ENCRUSTED TILAPIA both delicious!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Italian FoodMy daughter and I visited this restaurant on a girl's vacation. It came recommended. I had the ravioli and we shared the artichokes. It was very good. The wine list was had a very good selection. One of the things that was very distracting were 2 women sitting at the bar chatting very loudly, otherwise the noise level was not bad. The server seemed competent, however he seemed to lack warmth and friendliness. Not that I expect the server to fall all over me, but a smile and a little less formal attitude would have been welcome. All in all it was a good experience and the food is good but not quite great. I would visit again.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMService, food and drinks wereService, food and drinks were excellent. A great place to go before going to the Theater.

The food is fantastic, the service is great (attentive without being annoying) and they have a nice wine list. My friends & I also love the free parking garage, as it can be difficult to park for those not used to driving in the city. Some of the seating is along the front & side windows which makes it fun to people-watch. The dishes I love the most are the roasted beet salad and the gnocchi - it is so light & delicious, and their sauce/gravy is very flavorful. There are always several nice dessert choices, though I prefer the standard tiramisu or cannoli to top off the meal.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Italian foodGood food, moderately priced - it was pretty quiet for Friday night @ 8:00. Apps included broccoli rabe, calamari & baked meatball; they were all delicious.
