Came here with a friend for happy hour. The food was just ok. Nothing to rave about. The pizza was a bit bland. Our server was friendly in the beginning but toward the end of our meal it felt like she was rushing to get us out even though the place was empty and no one is waiting for a table and they weren’t closing yet.

Stopped here on a whim for lunch, which turned out to be a fantastic decision. I love picking a restaurant as I walk by and I was not disappointed. Everything from the appetizer to the service was amazing. We will definitely be eating here again and highly recommend it to anyone else in the area.

Oh my gosh everything is so good! We had the chopped salad, artichokes, and Buffalo pizza. My only complaint was that the service just wasn’t great. Our salad came, we ate it. I had to remind or server about the artichokes (it wasn’t busy when we were there) and our table just ended up super crowded for only two of us because she didn’t bus it. I ended up putting the salad bowl on the bench beside me so we would have room. Our appetizer and pizza came at the same time. This was my only complaint with other LaScala locations too. Go for the food, you won’t be disappointed, just expect to have a crowded table with dishes you are done with.

Saw this place and decided to try it for the first time. The service is great and seating fairly abundant, yet the tables on the one side can get cramped if the bar seats aren’t pushed in when people sit there.

We went to LaScala’s Birra to watch the Super Bowl last weekend and I would say that this is one of the best choices that I had made recently. We just reserved a table as regular (no cover, no extra fees) and we got a table on the first floor, close to the TVs. Then, when we asked to move upstairs, our servers were kind to accommodate us with our requests and check in with us often. They had a special menu for game day with happy hour prices in addition to the regular menu. The restaurant gave a cozy and ambiance atmosphere, and everything was clean and neatly organized.

The host downstairs was very cool and down to earth our server was just not it she was rude I asked if they sang happy birthday like most restaurants do and she said “IDK” she’s didn’t bring us a paper bag to put out to go food in she didn’t offer water or anything. As we were walking downstairs with our to go boxes piled up the host down stairs offered us a bag right away with no hesitation. She made this experience better but the server was a no no !
