You come for the amazing food and you stay for the service! It's like the home of your favorite Italian family. I grew up in Jersey so I know a good Italian family! One of my favorite parts was that the menu was sealed shut so you had to break it open like a gift. Such a simple but special touch. We were sat quickly and given a run down of the specials. Our server Michelle was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. We ordered calamari and grilled octopus to start! Let me tell you the grilled octopus is a must have, buttery, garlic goodness. Next we had the grilled Cesar salad, warm and crisp. For dinner we had steak with crab meat and goodness, a pasta dish with cream (wish I remembered more) and we had the Branzino- light goodness. For dessert we got the chocolate cheesecake and a pistachio cannoli. All and all an amazing time and yummy eats! We will be back.

Everything about this place was chef's kiss. The complimentary shuttle was so convenient and perfect for our family. We had a large group with some young kids and our waitress was fabulous. The food was to die for, it was probably the best carbonara I've ever had, I just wish I was closer so I could get it all the time.

Everything tasted amazing and the service was wonderful! We went with a big group which can be hard to accommodate but the servers were so quick and always patient with us. The carbonara came with a runny egg on top with the most delicious creamy sauce. Everyone at the table seemed to really enjoy their meal. The candlelight, exposed brick walls, and white table cloths really brought me right back to Italy. Will definitely be back to try out the bacci ball court on the first floor (how fun?!).

Food was decent way overpriced. Server looked like she was on something and didn't seem very pleasant with her fellow coworkers. So loud could not hear the conversation at my own

La Scala is a gem of Little Italy! We enjoyed bruschetta, salads, lobster and sea bass, amongst other dishes. Each of us were blown away with the excellence of our meals.... Danielle's service last night for our team was absolutely perfect! Chef Ninos creations were sublimely delicious... thank you for an amazing dinner experience in Little Italy!! Attached are pics of the sea bass, which the server preps table-side. Homemade pasta was to live for!

Let me start by saying the atmosphere was amazing. Our servers energy and personality is what makes this place 5 stars. We had the grilled Caesar, calamari, and shrimp toast for our appetizers. I thought the Caesar was super tasty but felt like the calamari was quite bland. I ordered the linguine al pesto and added clams. It was out of this world good. I make my own pesto so I can be a bit of a snob. Their pesto was so flavorful and adding the clams added to the texture.

I have dined at La Scala on several occasions. Love the atmosphere and the service is always on point. The Food is excellent in presentation and taste.Parking: I would advise using the Valet. Parking is not easy to find.

Had an amazing time tonight!! The food was delicious! Our server Joana was very kind and did a great job explaining the menu. We have a toddler and she went out of her way to talk to him and help make this a great experience for us. The owner also came and greeted us. This was definitely a wonderful experience and we will be returning. Also the Espresso Martini is a must try.

I had penne with whole branzino. It's a perfect combination!! The waitress introduced us to the special of the day. She is really professional and knowledgeable about the dishes! Our experience dining here is exceptional. There is valet parking available. It makes the dining experience more enjoyable, especially in Little Italy in Baltimore
