    I wish I had known about this place sooner!!! Portions were humongous, price was right. 100% would return. Pictured is the chicken Gorgonzola and cheese tortellini with sausage pesto Alfredo.

    I went here with my family for the first time yesterday. We ordered arancini balls, chicken piccata, chicken and broccoli alfredo, and pesto sausage alfredo. Flavor wise: Arancini balls with pepperoni cheese and garlic 9/10 Chicken piccata 4/10. Chicken was bland. Thin sauce that didn't stick to pasta Chicken and broccoli 5/10. Nothing to write home about. Chicken was bland. Flavor was just ok. Pesto sausage alfredo 9/10. Delicious! Would definitely recommend. Tons of flavor Overall, this place is a hit or miss.

    Went to a private birthday party for a family member this past weekend. The service provided by the owners and staff went beyond expectations. The food was top notch in flavor and cooked to perfection. The antipasto is to die for. This is a quaint place that would be perfect for your romantic dinner and also for an after work cordial. Small enough so that you would get plenty of attention yet large enough to enjoy a family gathering. If they are offering pistachio cake that night, don't pass it up, even if you have to take it to go. You will not be disappointed with this quality establishment.

    The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is because of the marinara sauce. Bland for my taste. But the coconut vodka shrimp was spectacular, I wish I knew what the sauce was made of I’d love to make it at home. The sicilian pizza was awesome, toppings were so incredible I was blown away. Will definitely try again sometime soon!

    This is a great little restaurant. Probably the smallest I've ever been in very few tables prices are reasonable in the portions are large. My family and I really enjoyed the food and our service

    Hadn’t been here in several years, and I digress my absence. Four of us dined a Friday night at 6:00 pm. Had made a reservation with Dave, and were seated when we arrived. Waitress was attentive, didn’t rush us and offered suggestions. Appetizer of Calamari was tasty and plenty for the table. Entrees of Salmon Salad, Chicken Piccata, and Chicken Parm were all served nicely, hot and abundant. Drinks were done right, and they presented a good size pour of Rose and Chardonnay. Unfortunately, no room for dessert, we were stuffed, but made room for a couple of ‘Bucas, once again a good pour. Needless to say, us four enjoyed a great night out.As it appeared, so did other diners. We shall return!

    The food is incredibly good and I had 3 meals of leftovers the portion was crazy! The service is impeccable, very attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere. I had the Godmother entree.

    First time dining here and the service was very attentive, the drinks were a heavy pour, food came out fresh and hot, my meal fed me leftovers for 2 days. I had the “godmother” which was Chicken parmesan layered with fresh herb ricotta, spinach, topped with eggplant, cheese and pink sauce with pasta. I can’t wait to come back here. So many options on the menu.

    Loved this place! Portions are generous, food is delicious and fresh and service is great and friendly. Drinks are very well made and I'm still dreaming of their pistachio cake!! You will not be disappointed.

    Picked up Take out last night from La Scala & everything was phenomenal, the food was still steaming hot & I live a half hour away. The arancini was so good! Both dinners were so good, I had been craving a good chicken Marsala & la scala nailed it with theirs. So delicious & definitely will be back!

    Visited for a private party, a group of 60 people. The staff handled the crowd with ease. Chicken, veal, and baked haddock were the options. Veal was the hands down winner, then chicken. Personally, I had the haddock and found it to be bland. Neat little place that I look forward to visiting again.

    Parking is difficult. It is quaint but packed in. Food was very good. I will go back.

    At first glance it seems a bit small, maybe even giving the first impression of a tiny pizza joint. After walking in and getting seats we found it to be a personable atmosphere and quick and friendly service. The bread and oils at the table were perfect and the meals that followed were exquisite Italian traditional meals. My son and I each got the veal and chicken special, called the Soprano with Fradiavlo sauce and they came out with huge oversized plates loaded with meats. We always leave a dinner with clean plates but they really put us to the test, and each had to bring home half our meals in a to go box, that they took out back and boxed up for us. That was a pleasant surprise and another example of their excellent service. They certainly made a regular customer out of me.

  • 5/5 Nate G. 1 year ago on Google
    We did not get one of our plates, given it was a large order, we triple checked with hostess and we were told it was all there to get home and find one missing. The manager was very helpful in crediting our card and making sure we were satisfied. Thank you again

    Always a great time here. We love the Thursday night special with antipasto salad and a pizza of your choice. We go often.

    Food is pretty good. Nice outdoor patio dining. Great special on Thursday pizza and good sixe antipasto salad easily feeds two for $20.

    Consistently fabulous meal coupled with great value and great service. Usually opt for the chicken or eggplant parm -- always a winner. Wine pours are generous, to say the least. One of the best dining experiences in all of Worcester.

    First time there and it really couldn't have been better ! Our server, Bryanna, was terrific. Met the owner, John. Very proud and kind. Food was perfect ! Prices reasonable too. Highly recommend !

    I have always loved LaScala but tonight it was a terrible experience. We got there at 7:16 and at 7:48 we asked a waitress to take our order and she said she will send our waitress over. She finally came and we wanted the Wednesday deal Chicken, pasta, salad and fries all you can eat so we wanted to order that and she said we just ran out of chicken, a big party just ordered the last of it. I said maybe if we didnt have to wait over 30 minutes we would have been able to get it. We complained to the hostess and she said I seated you and I dont think it was that long. Like were lying. So we split an antipasto and 20 minutes later we still didn't have our meal. When it finally came, at that point we asked for it to go because it was almost 9:00. So terrible service but still good food. Thank God for them. I dont know if they have trained their wait staff but the runner was way better than the waitress for sure.
