The service staff is highly professional and attentive, making customers feel valued and appreciated. The moment guests walk down the stairs, they are transported to a different era, with white-jacketed servers and a warm, lived-in elegance. The food at Scalinatella is consistently phenomenal, featuring rich pastas, perfectly cooked seafood, and traditional dishes that feel like a warm hug from Nonna. The menu includes a standout truffle pasta that is a must-try, along with popular dishes like Ravioli with burrata, eggplant, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, which many find divine and melt-in-your-mouth.
The restaurant is known for its lively and cozy atmosphere, with a bustling and intimate setting perfect for people-watching.
