La Scala Italian Restaurant

The best Italian in town! And service is amazing!

This might be the worst experience at a restaurant I have ever had. We made a reservation for dinner by calling the restaurant and getting a confirmed reservation on the phone, but when we arrived at the restaurant at the designated time, the manager told us they had no record of our reservation. We even showed him the evidence of us calling the restaurant on our phone, to no avail. Even though there were multiple open tables when we arrived, the manager refused to seat us, allegedly for the ridiculous reason that we had 5 people and he only had tables for 4 or 6 people. He didn’t say it, but I am certain he decided not to seat us because we were there with my 2.5 year old daughter. Even though she was perfectly quiet (more quiet than the other kids that were already eating in the restaurant), that didn’t seem to matter. The manager ultimately told us that we must have talked to the owner of the restaurant to make the reservation, but the owner was not at the restaurant, so there was nothing he could do. I honestly still can’t believe the way the manager handled the situation - I will never go back to this place, and I would encourage others to avoid this place like the plague.

Food is simply delicious, quaint atmosphere, and owner is congenial and welcoming.

We happened upon LA Scala while in the area, and found an Italian delight. The food was delicious while service was so comforting. My wife and I felt instantly welcome. I highly recommend the Ossobucco Milanesa.

The pasta carbonara is Pre Coked and old
Micro wave heated and the souse is in the bottom of the plate real bad … inquiere before order pasta if it is pre coked …
The sabayon in the dessert is not fresh is can
What a bad experience

Our favorite Italian restaurant! The service and food are always excellent. La Scala is truly a staple on the Key. Thanks Chandra and team!
