    It was good overall. Service was great. I had the veal francese which could have used a little more lemon flavor.

    Crowded and noisy on a Saturday night. Kind of bright too, lights could be a little dimmer. Our meal came out before our salad. Had we known that could happen, we would have ordered our salad first. Food was delicious and plentiful. All I had to do was ask for bread and it quickly arrived. Service attentive and good. We’ll come back, maybe on a weeknight.

    Appetizer and meals showed up at the same time, 7 minutes of ordering. The arancini appetizer was cold. We felt rushed, total time from entering restaraint, ordering food, eating and paying check was 26 minutes.

    You can't beat the location. Right there on the river its really very nice. The food was good, service was great. Four of us for $240 with tip seemed a bit high but we had four drinks as well. I had the Chicken Milanese. It was very good. It arrived hot and very well presented. My wife had the salmon which was a large piece of salmon she took home half of it, mashed potatoes etc and she liked it as well. Overall everyone was very happy with their meals.

    Pizza & calamari were both a little undercooked. Was crowded and maybe a little under staffed in the kitchen. Front end service was excellent as always. Hope food is back to their normal standard next time. We are regular customers and will remain loyal.

    La Scala Birra has long been one of my favorite local restaurants, but my recent visit was such a sharp decline in quality that I honestly wondered if the ownership had changed. The pizza, which is usually amazing, was a massive disappointment this time. We ordered the truffle pizza, and it was mediocre at best—super thick, lacking in flavor, and with barely any mushrooms. The arancini were equally disappointing; they had the texture of a poor-quality suppli: very gooey, slimy, and completely missing the characteristics of a true arancini. We chose to sit outside. While it was a bit windy, that is no excuse to serve wine in disposable plastic cups (specifically, water cups), especially when we watched other patrons sitting nearby being served beer in proper glassware. Drinking wine out of a plastic cup in the wind completely ruined the experience and made the food taste even worse. Given how great this place used to be, this visit was a major letdown. I hope management steps up to bring things back to their usual standard. The service was outstanding. I forgot the name of the waitress, but she was great and she was just following orders I assume with the plastic cups.
