   The food was delicious—especially the ricotta board! And our server, Abraham, was kind and extremely helpful!

   We had a good server, so there was that. But the positives ended there. We (party of 2) ordered a mista salad to share, truffle fries, the spicy chicken cutlet rigatoni, and the pasta bolognese. They have what they call a “free flowing kitchen” but basically everything was just brought to the table at once. That’s not what a free flowing kitchen is. There wasn’t even room on the table for it all. Further, the only dish that either of us enjoyed was the salad (pretty basic, but no complaints). The truffle fries were just regular fries for $17. Only a few of them had any truffle flavor. The spicy chicken cutlet rigatoni isn’t actually spicy at all. Not even a little bit. In fact, it had no flavor. I didn’t taste the pasta bolognese but my husband said it was pretty tasteless and the pasta was over cooked. We’re pretty disappointed.

   We had a fabulous family holiday lunch. Everyone from our 11month old to Pop-Pop enjoyed the food, ambiance and service. Thank you for providing a wonderful and delicious lunch.

   Great restaurant, service & food we have been to the one in Villanova before and in my opinion, this one is just as great as that one.

   My friends and I had a lovely dinner at LaScala. Lauren was our server and she was professional but friendly. She was also helpful with menu items. I will be returning to this restaurant again.

   The previous restaurant in this space went out of business so LaScala's Fire took over a few months ago. We could not get reservations at Sedona, so we decided to try this out. It's more casual than I thought. It's more like a PJ's or MaGerk's. The server was very nice and funny. He had a lot of tables, but he was very attentive. Our orders were taken promptly. The menu had some good options. We ordered the mista salad (split), the fig and gorgonzola pizza and a pasta dish with shrimp and crab. I ordered a tap beer, and my wife ordered a specialty apple cider/ginger beer drink ($14). My tap beer was nice and cold. My wife's drink was not very good. They put way too much lime in the drink, and you could not taste the apple cider or the cinnamon. I should have sent it back, especially at that price. The salad was large and very good, and they split it for us. My pizza was okay, but a little sweeter than I thought. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. My wife's pasta dish came in a huge soup bowl. She said the wine sauce was very watered down and the dish was more like a soup. With tip the cost was about $96 for 2 people. For the ambiance and quality of the food I think it was worth more like $75. We probably will not go back since there are other places (Sedona, Casey's) nearby that are better and lower priced.

    Unfortunately food was not as good as I had hoped. Wood fired pizza was soggy not crisp. Service a bit slow and choppy.
