About La Scarola

La Scarola offers outstanding food in a lively and cozy atmosphere. The dining area can be crowded and loud, making takeout a recommended option for those who prefer quieter surroundings. Despite the noise, the restaurant's food is truly exceptional, with dishes like grilled octopus and penne Sinatra (penne a la vodka with scallops, mussels, and shrimp) impressing diners. The service from the staff is fantastic, and the owner is often present, ensuring guests are happy. The vibrant vibe and welcoming servers contribute to the overall memorable dining experience at La Scarola.

Nobody can beat the classic pasta dishes at La Scarola. Escarole soup and escarole with beans; they have it and it's excellent. Be sure to save room for dessert; the cannoli is as good as it gets and the best Spumoni anywhere.

Quick attentive service and excellent menu choices... try to arrive with an empty stomach as you'll find it hard to resist the delicious offerings. Daily specials add to the already excellent entrees. My friends and I will be back! Thanks!!!

Our 1st visit was amazing!
