We offer varying experiences, from folks grabbing a quick bite on their lunch hour, to couples stopping in to delight in our Oyster Bar, to parties spending hours enjoying delicious Southern Italian fare with perfectly paired wines.

    Scala wax recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Upstairs seating was lovely and quieter than downstairs. We’re visiting Napa to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The card and gelato were very special and appreciated. Wonderful meal and the service was outstanding and fast. Thank you!

    Very tasty food and a very neat little area of town. It was right in the white staff with the extra mile. For my son‘s birthday they surprised him with a little bit of ice cream and a very, very kind note for the management. I recommend this for a visit to Napa.

    From start to finish, scala delivers impeccable service. Every dish that I have ever had is excellent. From the tuna carpaccio, to the caesar salad, to steak and frittes- everything was fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. To cap off the dinner you must get the donuts with the creme anglaise and chocolate and a cappuccino.

    Entree (pork Milanese) was very good but both the app (bread) and side (broccoli rabe) were just OK - would not rush back. Overall a fine experience but nothing special

    My girlfriend and I were running late and Scala was very accommodating. We let them know well in advance so I believe that was the saving grace. The service, food, and drinks were all excellent. The decaf cappuccinos were a great finisher to compliment the tiramisu. We would definitely come back!

    We visited Scala for my daughter’s birthday and they gave her a hand written birthday note. So special, thank you. Each of the plates we ordered was an explosion of flavor. 5⭐️

    Hands down, the best dining experience in downtown. Must haves: - veal - pork chop milanese - calamari - fries (yeah, who would have thunk it) - donuts (see above) The food is outmatched only by the wonderful staff. You enter as a guest, but you leave as a friend. Do yourself a favor and go. NOW!
