La Scala Italian Bistro - Dublin

Sandra was friendly and humorous without being overly attentive. When it was clear that we wanted to start our evening with a drink and enjoy the excellent pianist, she encouraged us to "take your time," which was refreshing, especially in a bustling restaurant with more customers than available tables. This set a wonderful tone for the evening. An assistant waiter kept our table tidy and our water glasses full, and the two of them worked seamlessly together, so we never felt like we were waiting on anything. The restaurant has undergone beautiful renovations, and Sandra took a moment to tell us about the updates throughout the building, which was also hosting events that night. She mentioned that they offer their space for weddings and rehearsals, and excitedly described the lively atmosphere on Friday nights with live bands, even providing us with an event schedule that showcased her pride in this restaurant she claimed to have worked at for over 20 years (although she didn't look that old—perhaps a slight exaggeration). I know it can be hard to believe overly enthusiastic reviews, and I admit that our celebration may have influenced my perspective, but our experience at Lascala was truly delightful from the moment we arrived to the complimentary dessert we enjoyed at the end. We will definitely be returning soon!

One of my favorites! I’ve been dining here for the past four years, and it's definitely one of my top restaurants in Columbus. They've done a great job remodeling in the last couple of years, and the interior looks fantastic! The food is consistently delicious—especially their chicken marsala, which is the best I’ve ever had! Their homemade spaghetti is also excellent. The service is top-notch, and on certain nights, they have live music. There's a talented piano player who performs a lovely mix of classic and contemporary tunes. I’ve recommended La Scala to many people, and I’ll surely keep doing so!

The food at La Scala is amazing. My husband and I held our wedding reception there, and I would absolutely recommend it to others.

Wow, just wow! The menu is outstanding, with everything sounding delicious. The prices are reasonable for an upscale restaurant. Our entire meal was perfect, from the appetizer to the dessert. While the cocktail menu could use some improvement, the focus on exceptional food is where they truly shine. Guests will leave feeling satisfied, full, and with plenty of leftovers.

My first visit to La Scala was a delightful experience. The service was outstanding, the portions were generous, and the food was fantastic. We tried the Restaurant Week menu and left completely satisfied.
