had dinner there on May 20th to celebrate daughter's law school graduation and we could not have been more pleased. Our waiter Patsy was friendly, helpful and most of all a very nice person. The menu is varied without being overwhelming, great wine selection. The entire staff seem to go out of their way to have their customers feel welcome.... More

I was part of a large group that ate at La Scala recently, and everyone raved about the food. The service was impeccable, and as an added bonus, you can play Bocce while you are waiting for your table. Our group shared a large plate of scallops wrapped in bacon that were simply outstanding.

We went with the family and everyone enjoyed everything, appetizers, main, dessert and wine. The Veal chop and the veal saltimbocca were delicious. I'm not a big fan of Italian wine but the selection was decent and we found a nice chianti . The profiteroles and the cannoli were the best part according to the little ones. Overall a great... More

My wife and I enjoyed a meal here recently. It is cozy restaurant but can be a little noisy. We were seated upstairs. Downstairs is the bar and the bocce court. we started with caprese and a grilled Caesar salad. The caprese wes excellent. I thought the Ceasar tasted a little dry from the grilling as opposed to a traditional... More

We loved this restaurant. The mozzarella with tomato, the chicken Rafael's and desert (hazelnut cannoli) were uniformly excellent. Service was as good as the food

This place is just great! First, when we asked our Hotel to get a cab, and they heard we were going to La Scala, they told us about their pick up service so they called La Scala and in five minutes their van was picking us up! When we walked into the restaurant, it has a real classy, but local... More

Very Slow service. Avoid the specials as I had veal special which I agreed to based on the waitor's rave opinion (my fault indeed) which was all bone, much fat, surrounded by mushrooms in a tasty sauce. Not even close to being worth the $36 price. Shouldve gotten a safer Italian mainstay. Wine lovers will like this place as they... More

I visited and dined at three different highly rated restaurants in Baltimore's Little Italy and finally chose La Scala because the three each lacked an important element for a party. La Scala delivered. The food, wine, service, décor, ambience, and general comfort level was perfect.

I went there to celebrate my best friend's birthday. The fish she ordered was delicious but overpriced. I ordered a chicken parm and it was good. Overall, we enjoyed the food but I can get the same quality of food at another venue at less cost.

Sat at the bar and had dinner on April 3rd. One special of the evening was grilled/roasted Branzino. It was the best I've ever had. Started with the grilled Caesar salad. Fantastic! The other half had the grilled Caesar with chicken and a special appetizer of Speck rolled around Buffalo Mozzarella and grilled..simply wonderful! The chef(Nino) even came out to... More
