We went for lunch on a weekday and it was great. The staff was attentive and the food was great. The place itself is amazing and before the weather gets too hot you can certainly sit outside or by a table next to where the slider glass doors are to provide the indoor/outdoor feel.

Kris, we’re so glad you enjoyed your weekday lunch with us! Thank you for the kind words about our team, food, and space—it means a lot. Hope to welcome you back again soon, indoors or out! The Cala Scottsdale Team

Anniversary dinner started early on a Thursday it was getting rowdy by the time we left. The food was amazing. Whipped ricotta and pesto better than I've ever had. Flaming saganaki is what I wanted most and it did not disappoint!

The Vibes were vibing and the food and cocktails were fantastic! We had a table of 6 - mood was festive but because the music was so loud it was difficult to hear the table conversation at times.

Really wanted to love this restaurant! We made a reservation for a table for 2 for Easter Brunch. When we got there, our table was one of two tables in the whole restaurant that were directly in the hot sun. After sitting for about 5 minutes my boyfriend and I were already getting super sweaty. We asked our hostess if we could move tables to anywhere else in the restaurant as the restaurant was pretty empty at the time. She told us she couldn’t because they were booked for the day. Which normally would be NBD & I would totally understand but the restaurant had hardly anyone in it as I had mentioned before. We quickly ate some of our food and ended up taking the rest of it to go because we were so hot. It was a bummer because by the time we left (only stayed for maybe 35 minutes) the restaurant was still pretty empty and it appeared we could have been easily accommodated to sit elsewhere. Overall the place is super cute, the food was good and our service was ok. Hopefully if we decide to come back again, it will be a more positive experience.
Cala ScottsdaleResponded on April 21, 2025
Hi Jade, thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We're sorry your Easter brunch didn’t feel as special as it should have. We always want our guests to be comfortable and cared for, and it sounds like we missed the mark. Please reach out to our manager, Francesco, via our website or give us a call—we’d truly appreciate the chance to make things right. The Cala Scottsdale Team

Thank you, Cynthia! We're so glad you enjoyed a peaceful breakfast on the patio—there’s nothing like Scottsdale mornings in April. Happy to hear the service and speed hit the mark, too. We hope to welcome you back again soon! The Cala Scottsdale Team
