    Their mothership restaurant, Don Giovani has been one of my favorites for years. Truly enjoyed this new place. Felt like I was walking into a New York restaurant. I knew the space previously and they did an outstanding job of reinventing it. The food was really fantastic...we went for meat instead of pasta and I have never been served a pork chop like the way they prepare it. Heads up, the portions are generous, and you might want to consider sharing salads (for sure) as well as mains. Only off comments...a glass of Schramsberg very high priced for what it is...and we had to wait for our table , but the place was packed for a Wednesday night...and can easily understand why one would want to linger at their table. Great staff, attentive, professional , and great moods. Will definitely return, great for a celebration.

    Amazing food especially the tiramisu. Place was a bit loud and the tables are really close together, ok for lunch setting but for dinner maybe not. Services was great and on point.

    This is a great bistro style restaurant. Thoughtful wine list, interesting menu selections and excellent preparations of the dishes. The Genovese pesto pasta is as good as any that I have had in Liguria.

    I have been here for lunch quite a few times and this was the first time we had reservations for dinner. The food was awesome as usual. My only issue, it was cold inside and loud. Otherwise, we’ll definitely be going back

    Our experience at Scala was, as always, great. The waitstaff was outstanding and the food was excellent. The noise level was better upstairs, as downstairs can be deafening. We will be back!
