La Scala - Savannah

We dine here often and are extremely pleased; however, last night's service was not the usual best. My husband's linguine and clams was delicious but was a paltry portion that was gone in three forkfuls. My osso bucco was fabulous. My salad came smothered in cheese even though I had asked my tab to be marked “no dairy.” It had to be recreated and then the timing of everything was off from there. When we arrived I went to the bar for a glass of wine. Servers were milling about with no seeming purpose but I was not offered a drink and when I politely spoke up I was told I had to wait. I'll dismiss this experience as an off night but I hope to not see a pattern.

This was our second time dining at LaScala and we were, once again, underwhelmed. The restaurant is gorgeous! Every room is beautifully decorated with antiques. The bar area is quaint and lovely. That being said, our food was not good. We had appetizers, salads, entrees, and dessert. The apps were the best. The salad was drowning in dressing. The fish was way over cooked. The sauce on the Osso Bucco was too thick. The tiramisu was mushy. The bread made it to our table after the entrees. In addition, it seemed odd that the wait staff was dressed in Halloween costumes. This is a fine dining restaurant. Wait staff walking around in masks might have been fun for them but took away from the ambiance. Our host(manager), Gina, was the highlight of our experience. She's warm, knowledgeable on the history of the restaurant, and a truly wonderful front person. I'm sorry to say we won't be back as we are locals, and there are too many other good restaurants in Savannah.

Beautiful place. We went here for my wife's bday. Service was poor but the manager made up for the poor service. The food was okay. I'm not sure if I would return

We, my wife and friends, have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it. Excellent food and drink and atmosphere. While our last visit was no exception, our waiter was new (she said) and could have used a little help. Alas, the kitchen was still baking their always delicious bread and none was available for us.

Great experience! Service was prompt and orderly. Appitizers were brought out hot and fresh and ample time was given before entree arrived. Crab soup for appetizer and Osso Bucco for entree. Both were excellent. Highly recommend.
