    I was surprised to have to post a credit card for this reservation of 2! It was first (and last) time we were greeted with a very noisy but upbeat crowd and were taken to our seats We were surrounded by teenagers. The menu is very casual. Not what I wanted or expected we ate and ran out of there! Not our cup of tea we are very confused with the posting of a credit card and why they take reservations at all ??

    Had a really solid meal at LaScala. Great appetizers followed by different pastas for all. Everyone loved their food. The restaurant is lively but not loud. My sole complaint is that they need to slow the pace a bit. We were still working on appetizers when the pastas came out. Nothing had been cleared. It felt very rushed. We sat at the table at 6:25 and had paid our check less than an hour later.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner at LaScala’s Fire. The food was delicious and the server was attentive and professional. He did a good job of explaining a few things about the menu that we might not have thought to ask. The calamari was very good and was a large portion, great for sharing. The spinach and feta salad was the best I’ve had lately and also great for sharing. The angel hair pasta with crab was perfectly cooked and had a very tasty sauce, although I would have preferred more crab; that seemed a bit lacking for the price. If you’re looking for a lively, bustling place with great food and service, this is it. It is loud and bright, so I would not recommend for a quiet or romantic night out. The only thing I didn’t like was being seated in the general vicinity of the door, which left us feeling cold throughout dinner. All else was great.

    Loud is the first thing that comes to mind about LaScala. Many families with children at 6:30, some not ready to dine out in such a crowded space. We had a very excellent server, Gina, who managed to get us our order somewhat quickly considering their policy to serve orders as they become ready. Some of the food was delicious (lasagna, Caesar salad, Italian wedding soup) while the Chicken piccata was dry but the serving was large.

    Great food, fun place to eat. Excellent service! Way too cold in the front of the restaurant for comfort on a cold winter night! Wait til it warms up, or place reservations well in advance and request a table in the back!
