About LaScala's Fire Villanova

LaScala's Fire Villanova is a popular restaurant that offers a great dining experience. The food is consistently delicious, with highlights such as the arancini and wood-fired pizza. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, with many TVs for sports fans to enjoy. It is conveniently located just west of Villanova’s campus on Route 30/Lancaster Avenue, in a mall complex with ample parking and other businesses nearby. The inside is modern, spacious, and clean, and the service is always attentive and professional, making the dining experience enjoyable. The restaurant is busy during Villanova games, adding to its lively environment.

The menu includes great options like individual pizzas, salads, paninis, and pastas, with the Mike’s Hot Honey pizza being particularly recommended, featuring sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella, and ricotta. Many customers praise the food, especially the eggplant parm, fried calamari, and margherita pizza, which are popular appetizers. The dessert menu offers rich dark chocolate ice cream and shell, which many find delightful. The drink menu offers creative cocktails and a good selection of wine, though the beer list is limited to a few bottled or canned brands, some on tap from larger breweries, with only a couple of local craft beers.

The atmosphere can be loud, making it difficult to hear friends comfortably, especially during busy times or when the restaurant is full. Some guests have noted that the noise level can be overwhelming and it can make conversations hard, but overall, many still enjoy the friendly staff and the quality of food and service. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable, contributing to a positive experience. Some customers have also appreciated the friendly and accommodating staff, especially during special celebrations like birthdays, where staff go out of their way to make the occasion memorable.

While outdoor seating is available, some guests have found it challenging due to bees, and prefer to eat inside. Despite the noise issues, LaScala's Fire Villanova remains a reliable choice for a laid-back, enjoyable meal with good food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere.
