My shrimp and clam pasta was excellent and my companion said the lasagna was very good. We are considering coming here again for a future trip.

I had a very nice experience at Scala Osteria . From the welcoming in to the attentive service during my dining experience. My steak was delicious as well as the exquisite deserts of tiramisu, zeppole, and cannolis. Party of four lol. I would come again. Loved sitting upstairs getting the view of the whole restaurant. Thank you Scala Osteria!!

Fabulous food, great service! Sit upstairs for a quieter experience. Eat the donuts for dessert - one of the five best desserts I have had!

We loved our trip - starting off with an amazing salad then trying pizza, lasagne and veal!
We wanted a nice place to take our out of town guests and this was a hit with them all. Good for couples families or groups I have no doubt we will be back

Didn’t like the upstairs seating, especially hosting out of town guests—much prefer a bench seat table along the wall.
Food was great.

This restaurant was consistently recommended to us by locals and lucky for us our travel concierge booked it for our anniversary dinner . We absolutely loved it! To start the bread was to die for along with the olive oil dip and so was the olives . We both ordered the Dover sole and it was superb. Our waiter John provided exceptional service and definitely we will be back if we are in the area !
