" Dinner here was a mixed bag. While the ambiance felt warm and welcoming, and the server was cheerful, the food didn’t measure up to what I was hoping for. My eggplant parmigiana was bland, and I found it quite overpriced. However, the dessert, a luscious chocolate mousse, made up for the lackluster entree. I might give it another try but I’ll definitely be more selective about what I order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant visit here. The food was tasty, particularly the veal marsala which I enjoyed thoroughly. The decor gave off a nice Italian feel, but to be honest, I expected larger portions for the price. The service was friendly enough but a bit lackluster at certain times. Overall, a nice spot for authentic Italian food, just be careful with expectations on portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a dinner here and while the ambiance was great and everything looked nice, I was a little disappointed with the taste of my chicken dish. It was a bit bland and unexciting for an Italian place. However, the service was spot-on, and I must admit that the dessert was one of the best I've tasted. I might give it another shot simply to experience the good things! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely evening spent at Cafe La Scala. The food was mouthwatering, with standout dishes including the triple chocolate mousse for dessert, which was pure bliss. I don't often find locations with such good service on weekends, but this restaurant exceeded my expectations in both service and food quality. A solid 5 stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" We absolutely loved our visit! The food was delightful, especially enjoying the lasagna and the sea bass! The atmosphere was lovely, a cozy Italian dining environment that really added to our experience. The service was good but could use a bit more attention during busy periods. Overall, one of the best dinners we’ve had, and we can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe La Scala offers incredible Italian food! Family-friendly and perfect for group outings as they can accommodate larger parties. The seafood risotto was like a taste of Italy, full of flavors and generous portions. Additionally, none of us had any complaints about the service. Our server was prompt and checked on us frequently. We're definitely returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe La Scala is a favorite of mine! I visited last week and ordered the veal marsala and my friend had the capellini pomodoro—both were delicious. The highlights are definitely the dessert options; I strongly recommend trying the triple chocolate mousse! The service was also commendable although it did take a while for our entrees to arrive. Overall, I left extremely satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
