    Restaurant is highly rated for its excellent service and food quality and quite deservedly so. Very Friendly owners, helping you out with selection of food and wines and fresh catch of wish waiting to be grilled on your choice. Some of the seats are overlooking the ocean. The staff is well trained and extremely courteous and ready to help you with everything. This is one of very few restaurants which do not charge a seperate fee for service, but they definitely deserve their bit, because of their warmth and style of serving food. Their red snapper in garlic sauce with some tasty wine makes your day. They also have very nice pastas to delight your taste buds.

    This place serves fruit bat meat! I got so disappointed by this, that the rest of the food didn’t impress, pasta is not the best. Double disappointment - 200 rupees for a cut into cubes papaya with a splash of rum over it is too pricey, they call it papaya salad 😔, service is extremely slow. The ambiance is cozy and reminds me of Sardinia island.

    Stop serving bats at your restaurant. Stop exploiting the fruit bats in Seychelles. This practice is no longer sustainable. I urge all visitors to boycott the restaurants involved with this cruel practice of hunting bats.

    The restaurant opened 15 minutes early than the 7:15 pm announced time, we were accommodated although we didn’t have reservation, big thanks for that, although we received strange looks at the start!!! Despite the simplicity of the furniture and old fashion, the sophistication in service is well noted. Since it’s an open restaurant, the weather was quiet warm, but the standby fans did help. Mrs. Torsi, the owner was very hospitable and recommended few dishes that were very delicious. The food was prepared with passion and it was very delicious, although the presentation can be improved, but did not affect the taste. Ample parking in front of the restaurant. Very well recommended.

    This resort serves fruit bat meat. The effect of consuming bat meat will have dire consequences to the Seychelles islands’ bat populations, plant distribution, and entire ecosystems of the islands. This practice and tradition is no longer ethical or sustainable.

  • 3/5 John P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good Italian food, but too expensive and not included, so again 10%, I would gladly spend my money but it would be described as overpriced (about 40% too high) and I'm in many major cities on the way, so high prices actually used. Quality of the food was okay but really nothing special. (Original) Gutes italienisches essen, aber viel zu teuer und trinkgeld nicht inkludiert, also nochmal 10%, ich gebe gerne mein Geld aus würde es aber hier als überteuert bezeichnen (ca. 40% zu hoch) und ich bin in vielen Metropolen unterwegs, daher hohe preise eigentlich gewöhnt. Qualität des essens war okay aber wirklich nichts besonderes.

    Restaurant has nice ambience. Nice location. Mussels au gratin very good dish. Clams too. Calamari the worst i ever eat. Tiramisu is not made from mascarpone. This dessert should taste the best as this is Italian most popular dish but i think they buying it in nearest supermarket.

  • 5/5 Rogé C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is great, had the lobster and the second time the steak, which was so tender that I could almost cut it with a spoon;) (Original) Das Essen ist 1A,hatte den Lobster und beim zweiten mal das Steak, welches soo zart war, dass ich es fast mit dem Löffel schneiden konnte ;)

    Another perfect dinner while in Mahe. Great seafood dishes that you should try. A bit pricey I recall, but it’s pretty common when you dine in Seychelles.

  • 2/5 Danae B. 4 months ago on Google
    Having had this restaurant recommended to us we went for a last night meal and were very disappointed. The service was less than friendly from the start. "Had we booked?" "No" Long look at the few written reservations not to mention more than half of the tables empty before pointing at another staff member saying "He'll deal with you". Drinks and food menu brought. Asked if we'd like water, yes, long wait for it to arrive. Amuse bouche was a tiny amount of fresh coconut and a very nice garlic butter with a tiny amount of bread. Both ordered fish soup for starters. Menu had chateaubriand (for 2) with bearnaise sauce, tenderloin with mustard or peppercorn sauces. I asked if it was possible to order tenderloin with bearnaise sauce, was initially told "yes" only for them to change their mind a minute later saying "No, we can't make bearnaise for one! The steaks were offered rare or medium. My husband got a "look" and rolled eyes when he asked, very politely, if he could have his medium well. Apparently, no he couldn't it came medium. Long wait for the soup which was okay but we'd had a far nicer one in our hotel and then an even longer wait for the mains. Having my steak plans thwarted I'd opted for an anonymous fish fillet with a caper and anchovy sauce, being very fond of anchovies. The three small fillets of fish had very little taste and the caper sauce was apparently renamed caper and anchovy by the simple act of draping a single small anchovy fillet across one of the pieces of fish. The accompanying vegetables came without choice. The dessert menu features some nice looking desserts for two, but not one, unfortunate for a couple with a diabetic. Tiramasu and icecream were offered but everything else seemed to come with chocolate sauce...profiteroles with chocolate sauce, Danish ice cream with hot chocolate, banana split with chocolate sauce...a caramel option would have been nice. I opted for no dessert. The restaurant itself is open to the elements (so no air con) which I didn't mind. Unfortunately they'd opted for Christmas music but it was the naff carols with a disco beat and hearing the same song for the third time highlighted how slow the service was. Keen to leave we couldn't as we had to ask for the bill three times before it was brought. We were asked "Was the food okay" as opposed to "How was the food" but that just meant we answered "yes" instead of "ok". One last thing is they have fruit bat stew on the menu. That may attract some people, others may want to avoid it on that basis. We're left wishing we'd eaten somewhere else.

    Italian owned, variable options on the menu from pastas to seafood or meat. We had pastas and seafood. Their spaghetti fruti de mare was disappointing in that the sauce was too creamy and garlicy. Fish is excellent, lobster, mussels and shrimps too. Tiramisu was good. Staff are super nice and friendly.

  • 4/5 Afnan A. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, very good service. I didn’t like the food that much though. Had the octopus salad and the creole style fish.

  • 5/5 Libby C. 1 year ago on Google
    No matter how many days you have in Mahé, La Scala is a must! In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Italian food but everything here is exceptionally delicious, the spinach and ricotta ravioli and the tiramisu in particular! To top it off, the staff are super attentive, friendly and polite. Lovely to see the owner in there herself too, taking orders and clearly taking pride in her restaurant. I only wish we had more time in Seychelles to visit again!

    A lovely place, where we had a 3-course menu. The food, service and vibe of the place was absolutely excellent! We had locally catched seafood starters and mains, and tiramisu for desert, all super delicious. Can highly recommend this place!

    How about a cold beer , hot prawn salad and the best views of Seychelles ? Well that’s not a fantasy , that is what is on offer at this sea food heaven. We loved the place , the service and the ambience of La Scala. The lady who also happens to be the owner of the place is very courteous . I tried snails for the first time and to be honest I found it just ok. Other than that the prawns and the lobsters were great. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended if you are a sea food lover .

    Best seafood on the island. I highly recommend getting the Seafood Gratin. The presentation is simple but the taste just blows you away. The restaurant also has one of the friendliest local staff on the island the owner graces her customers with her presence by helping her staff. I love the place.

    Very nice casual high end restaurant, beautiful views, great food, the ceviche is fantastic, loved the smoke fish and the palm salad. Very good wine selection.

  • 3/5 Micael E. 4 years ago on Google
    Located at the western end of Bel Hombre, with a great view (had it not been that it doesn't open after the sun sets and it's pitch black outside). The interior is very mediterranean with white walls. Food is reason to come here, as it is truly a feast for the palette. However, the staff could learn from a course in how to make guest feeling welcome and appreciated. The waitress serving did not once muster a smile and when working in a service business, it should come with the job. Furthermore, when asked for the check, the waiter forgot about it (I assume) and had to ask for it again, 10 minutes later. Due to these two last comments, I would probably not frequent this establishment in the future, unfortunately.

    (Translated by Google) Very good food, nice service! Will definitely come back here on our next stay in Seychelles! What I don't quite understand is the praise for the great view. Since the restaurant only opens at 7 p.m. and the sun sets so close to the equator early, we didn't really notice much of the vaunted view ... (Original) Sehr gutes Essen, netter Service! Werden hier auf jeden Fall bei unserem nächsten Seychellenaufenthalt wieder einkehren! Was ich nicht ganz verstehe, ist das Loben der tollen Aussicht. Da das Restaurant erst um 19h öffnet u die Sonne so nah am Äquator eben früh untergeht, haben wir von der so gepriesenen Aussicht nicht wirklich viel mitbekommen...
