La Scala Italian Bistro

Our server was running all over. Before I finished ordering, she was asking my wife. She was just rushing us. And was there a rationing on straws? it was like pulling teeth to get one. The couple we came with sent their meal back. They said it had no flavor. My wife felt as though it was kinda Olive Gardenish. It was her first time there. We had to ask for bread as well, but saw it was brought out to other tables. I am a Culinary Director/ Chef and I understand the urgency in Food Service, but the running around and rushing customers is just not professional. Also don't you think 9:30 on a Saturday is early to close?
Was not a good experience at all. Ended up going to the GOAT for drinks and food.
Probably won't be coming back to give a second try.

WAS ABLE TO GET THE ALCOVE ROOM FOR OUR GROUP. WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR EACH OTHER AND ENJOY OUR EVENING MORE THEN WHEN WE SIT ON THE FLOOR.

Came into the establishment for a homecoming dinner, came out with tangible satisfaction coming from the words of my friends as we spoke about our food. Overall, it was pretty awesome.

Wonderful service and delicious food! The atmosphere was very inviting

The service and food was wonderful for our birthday dinner

The buffet was outstanding.
The drinks and meals were great.

The food was great but our server was not very attentive, would disappear for long periods of time.

We have always enjoyed dining at LaScala and look forward to many more visits. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the meal. The only negative comment I can make is our table was not far from the singer, which made it next to impossible to have conversation. Kind of detracted from having a nice quiet dinner with friends.

Service was great! Food delicious! We were seated in the back room and I would have liked to have been more in the main part of the restaurant.

It was a perfect setting and great food. Love being able to listen to the piano player and enjoy our delicious pasta.

The server was excellent. My food was very good. Huge portions and good taste. Wife commented that her wedge salad from lunch at a casual joint earlier in the day was better than what she was served here. One son had a pretty small portion (pasta with a white sauce) compared to my spicy chicken pasta meal. Other son liked his pizza and daughter liked her meal.

I love the buffet lunch. I would recommend that the food be prepared hotter then it was when I was there Thursday and Friday. When the food is only warm, it doesn't bring out the good taste and show off your recipes.

This was the best brunch we’ve ever experienced. Truly enjoyable.

Great Buffet at lunch time. Lots of choices, and great price.

Made reservations for 6:30 on a Friday night but there were open seats all the time we were there. About 60-70% full.
Happy hour menu until 7 pm I think. $4-5 beers and $8 mixed drinks. 3 for $30 special has 3 large appetizers, 3 large main courses, and a 3 deserts to choose from. VERY GOOD ! Actually one order is enough for 2 60 yr olds. We brought a LOT home.
WE will go back !

Outstanding as always. Love going to this fine restaurant

Our family of 7 folks truly enjoyed our meal and I heard many compliments about the food.
Thank you.

This was our first time dining here. It was a date night for my wife and I. Absolutely fantastic meal and exceptional service. We are already planning a trip back. Great experience!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

It was an outstanding family brunch. The food was incredible and ambiance so perfect after Sunday mass. We love LaScala!

Our group had not been there for many years. The Sunday brunch, being a good value, called upon us to make a return visit. We were not disappointed. The wide variety of dishes offered made it easy for each of us to find those items which we prefer.

We decided that La Scala will be a go-to place on our dinner out list.

We were there to celebrate a birthday and a wedding anniversary. 44 years ago when we eloped we went to La Scala for dinner. The owner came to our table and was just so nice. Desserts were complementary....love this place.

I met with a dear friend for dinner. Everything was so nice. We always enjoy having a meal and time together at La Scala.

We had a nice, fun time, lots of laughs! Service was very slow at first- no one came to our table until 10-12 minutes after we were seated. Place was very packed and busy though. Food was excellent, all orders were correct, no trouble getting drunk refills waiter was fun helping celebrate 50th birthday for my husband. We enjoyed our evening!

Celebrating an Anniversary and a Birthday. Excellent service and food on a crowded Friday night!!

Lunch buffet is amazing! All your favorites for a low price! Wonderful salads, soups, Italian favorites and even dessert!

Server was very attentive. Bottle of Wine was 1/2 on Friday! Veal milanese was fantastic and pounded thin, and it came with a large portion of pasta. Chicken bella vista was fantastic as well and it came with a large portio of garlic smashed potatoes. For dessert, we had tiramisu and it was so good. Looking forward to our next trip!

We. Visit once year and it never disappoints

Great food and service. Love the homemade dishes.

Like the buffet and meet friends and family birthdays are the “go to” place. Going for years went to Michael Ciatola’s Wedding scheduled many GOP fundraisers in the event room in the back . Never lets us down.

We love going to LaScala!
Food is always excellent and we love the atmosphere.
Lasagna
Crab cakes
Fettuccine
Always on our list for recommending
Cannoli is awesome😁

Excellent Sunday brunch!! Thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and delicious food.

Met a friend for the fabulous luncheon buffet they have for $10.50. I eat the wonderful house salad and meatballs/sausage. There are atleast 4-6 salads, 2 soups, pasta, marinara sauce, chicken, and another meat dish on and on.... can't beat this buffet for the price and quality.

Wonderful food and very courteous attentive waiter. Very enjoyable

Unfortunately the noodles were soft AGAIN. AL Dente doesn't mean anything here. The service was very good as last time.

Too loud to have a conversation with those at our table.
Food and service were great, as usual.

Everything was great. However I cannot understand why the potions served are so large. With the appetizer it was more than we could eat and we ended up making two meals with our leftovers. The food was excellent however.

My partner and I really enjoyed our meal at La Scala. Our server was very nice, and we loved the live pianist. The food was incredible, and we enjoyed our mixed drinks. We were there for restaurant week, but we examined the standard menu. Considering the portion sizes we received, the standard menu prices are comparable.

We both agreed that the one thing that would've made a difference between four stars and five is the simple fact that no one thanked us or said good bye as we exited the building. This may seem like a petty concern, but as both of us have worked in the food industry (he's a chef, I use to serve), we feel it is very important. The two girls working in the foyer didn't even look up from their work space.

I would recommend La Scala to anyone looking for a fantastic night out.

They have a great lunch buffet for under $12 that includes salad, soup, entrees and dessert. Great lunch option!

Our food was delicious from the appetizer to desserts. My husband and I enjoyed the live music while we dined also.

Food was excellent, but service not so much. We were seated for 9 minutes before anyone came to our table. Our waiter finally arrived, after twice telling us he would be right with us, and quickly asked for our drink orders. Water, Chocolate Milk and Iced Tea for the three of us. Several minute later he delivered 3 waters, followed by Chocolate Milk a few minutes later.

We then placed our order and were served some bread. His assistant asked us a few minutes later if everything was OK to which I replied I had still not received my iced tea. Less than a minute later she came back to the table with an iced tea and an apology. This set the trend for the rest of the evening...our waiter was almost non-existent but the assistant was EXCELLENT.

Food was great, as usual, we dine here approximately once a month. The service is usually much better. Another strange thing...a Manager came by and asked how everything was to which I replied “fine”. He just said thank you and moved on. If I was running a restaurant and a customer only said “fine” I would want to know what I could do to make things excellent. I certainly would not accept “fine” without attempting to improve things.
