What GailG likes about Cafe La Scala:
What a fabulous meal! The owner/chef came to our table to share the days specials and to take our order what a classy touch! We were a table of 6 and we were all thrilled with our appetizers and entrees. It was our 1st visit definitely not our last! View all feedback. What Mirella Major doesn't like about Cafe La Scala:
Food was very good but the chef was very impatient with his newly hired untrained staff. For most of the night they were in tears. I could say so much more but I am just going to say to the chef that you were the cause of the chaos not your servers. View all feedback.

Saturday night. An almost-empty restaurant. All the alarm bells go off. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. A good menu, not incredibly extensive. A weak wine...

The restaurant in question seems to have a mix of positive and negative reviews. Some customers have complained about poor service, including long wait times, mix-ups with orders, and lack of attention from the waitstaff. Others have praised the delicious food, with special mentions of the pasta dishes, lamb shank, and homemade chocolate cake. The owner/chef, Perry, has also been highlighted as a welcoming and talented individual. The atmosphere is described as intimate and the decor as beautiful. In terms of service, it seems to be hit or miss, with some patrons feeling neglected while others received attentive treatment. Despite the mixed bag of experiences, many reviewers seem willing to give the restaurant another chance due to the quality of the food and the overall pleasant dining environment.
