Aposto at the Scala House offers an outstanding dining experience with delectable dishes such as pork, gnocchi, brussel sprouts, pizza, polenta cakes, and desserts like mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate peanut butter torte. The atmosphere is a lovely mix of modern and Victorian, creating a romantic yet relaxed setting, making it an excellent choice for special occasions or casual meet-ups with friends. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that guests feel special from the moment they walk in. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity and cozy quarters inside an old mansion. The menu changes monthly, featuring top-tier food, drinks, and service, although they come with a higher price tag. Guests have praised the gnocchi for its lightness and flavors, while the polenta cakes have also become a fan favorite. However, some have noted that portion sizes can seem small, and certain dishes like risotto may lack a flavor punch. Desserts have received mixed reviews, with some not quite hitting the mark. Overall, Aposto is a place that pays attention to detail and is well worth a visit.
