Eat Fresh, Eat Well, Eat Local........Eat Better!! La Scala Italian Restaurant,voted the area"s Best Italian Restaurant, is located in historic downtown Lafayette and is owned by Chef Francisco "Paco" and Kirsten Serrano. We are a special destination restaurant and a great date spot, as well as an everyday eatery with a family friendly atmosphere. Our enormous menu pleases all. We have exquisite dinner entrees and great fast and filling lunches. We craft each dish when you order it from fresh, wholesome ingredients. We support and feature local products. Some of our produce even comes from the Chef's farm, Small Wonder Farm. Gluten Free and Whole Wheat pasta options are available. Our unique wines feature small producers worldwide and our premier martinis and cocktails are delicious. The concept for La Scala that we brought to the table originally and the same concept that guides the restaurant today is to serve the best classic Italian cuisine in an casual atmosphere.

We were able to enjoy outdoor seating because the weather had cooperated nicely. The Pasta Maria had a good balance of chicken, sausage, and pasta; It had nice flavors that combined well and which had a slight kick, probably from the sausage. The Salmon was very good, but for this diner, there seemed to be too much pasta for the individual's liking. In the future he could probably request less pasta, or perhaps a side of vegetables. The third dish ordered from our trio was Sherri's Pasta; the diner seemed to enjoy it very much and, as with the other two of us, had no room for dessert. One of us had an IPA beer, one coffee, one wine. The service was very good without being annoying. We would go back.

                                                                                                        Is this helpful?

The bar service at this restaurant is terrible, and it just seems to be getting worse year after year. My family has been dining here for over 10 years, and we are pretty much done with it. As of late, Lafayette has gotten a lot of great new restaurants that have wonderful food creations and outstanding bar tenders.

On Saturday, she graduated so, it was fitting that we celebrate her achievement with La Scala. Though our visits will now be rare, we will always include La Scala on occasion we do.
