I finally made it to La Scala and now I understand the hype! The legendary chopped salad absolutely lived up to its reputation—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The ingredients were so crisp and finely chopped, each bite was a perfect mix of savory and satisfying. The signature dressing is light but incredibly flavorful, tying everything together without overpowering.
The ambiance was classic Beverly Hills: elegant but not stuffy, with attentive service that made me feel genuinely welcomed. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, the team treats you like a VIP.
La Scala is a true LA institution for a reason. I’ll definitely be back—and I already know I’m ordering that salad again. Bravo!

12 noon on a Thursday, and I think the host is stoned. Terrible attitude.

Hadn’t been there in a couple of years. Took a friend because this used to be the place for the best chopped salad in town. Now I see why the Brentwood store closed most likely. The flavor is gone. The waiters act annoyed. No one - and I mean NO ONE seems happy to be working there. Spent over $100 and even got a salad to go. When I asked for an extra salad dressing they looked at me like I was insane. Just rude and terrible service all around. Not going back again I’m sorry to say.

Terrible customer service. We weren’t allowed to be seated until our full party arrived, and when we asked to be seated anyway, the staff threatened not to serve the rest of our group when they got there. Completely unprofessional. The food was also disappointing, definitely not worth the hassle. We won’t be coming back.

Prices are insane, portions are small

La Scala is classic. Their chopped salad is the best in the West. It is the right mixture of ingredients and flavors and always satisfying!!! Love the dressing 💜

Loved everything about this restaurant. We sat in a booth, Carina waited on us, who was excellent, the music wasn’t loud so we could hear each other talking, and the food was fresh & delicious. Definitely returning.

The servers all have this high horse attitude. Dingy, saying it's old school because they can't afford to remodel. They are rude as heck! As for a substitute on an item or need more dressing? NEVER will they give ot to you or make you feel like crap and say there doing you a favor. Whattttt!!!!! Staff is a huge problem.
We had an issue with a half order and the lack of a prive listed on the menu for a half order. We were charged 26 for a half order when the full order was 28. When we spoke to our server we were told the manager was not available until Monday and that half an order meant two thirds less sauce. We did not leave a tip and were deeply disappointed in the lack of professionalism at this establishment. We expected more from the server and management. The menu must be clear as to the price of a half order and what it means since we had two very different understandings. The way they handled our grievance was highly lacking in customer service and professionalism.

Have been going for years, and used to love it. But the service and food has gone way downhill, just like the old Brentwood location. They gave my wife a rancid bowl of soup, she had two spoonfuls and almost threw up. The waiter said they don’t take it off the bill and just took it away. Never checked on us, crappy service, crappier food, in an empty restaurant on a Friday night. I hope the owner sells before this one goes out of business as well. Or maybe it’s time has passed and it’s time for it to be gone. I know I won’t be back and I know I will take all of my BH business lunches somewhere else. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Staff is to busy talking to each other to to deal with customers. I walked in the door and was ignored because employees were to busy talking to acknowledge my existence.

Their famous chopped salad never disappoints. The full size is very large, glad I shared. The chicken parmigiana was a bit tough but so tasty. Our waiter was funny and attentive. The bread bowl , I'd probably give it a miss, dry toasted french bread, not inspiring. The biggest downer was the state of the washrooms, please clean them.
Parking: Beverly Hills public lot across the way, but it is a schlep.
