   The food has been very good each time i've been there. The service is great and pretty quick. I love their cocktails as well.

   Always love the food! Service could have been much better. Servers were talking in groups by the bar and pizza ovens. We weren’t asked about drink refills or how our food was. Server came with boxes when we were still eating. Also, this is the first time I saw the sign advising patrons that a 3.5% service fee will be added to your check if paying by card. ATM is available at the bar.

   Our server, Samantha, was friendly and helpful. We ordered a variety of entrees and everyone was happy. We especially enjoyed the calamari appetizer and the burrato board.

   Decent food, although pizza arrived barely warm and undercooked. Server Sami is a gem. Too noisy for conversation, but that seems popular with lots of folks. I often wonder whether most diners would prefer less volume…

   Slow service. Extra charge for credit card use was unnecessary, bad business and a complete surprise. Had they made it known before eating we would have left without eating there. It is a borderline class action case as they should let customers know upfront. Food was ok but standard and nothing special.

   We were seated in the front room at the window and it was incredible cold. On top of it people were holding open the front door which increased the cold. We actually ate with our coats on. The waiter kept apologizing and it wasn’t his fault. Service was fantastic food was great

   Food was good. The times previously I ordered Veal Milanese there was a lot more arugula and tomatoes and balsamic. My dinner was just good this time and not as delicious as the previous 3 times. Our waitress was outstanding!

    This was our first time dining here, and we really wanted it to be great! The cocktails were yummy, the burrata board was generous, delicious and well-priced. We were so excited for the main course, and we both ordered veal. It was really, really weird. It didn’t taste like veal (he got Marsala, I got piccata), the texture was… hard to explain. Kind of like ground beef? The portion was small (which was fine since it wasn’t very tasty) and buried in pasta… which veal usually isn’t. We agree will give this place one more try, and stick to pizza and a pasta dish.

    It was loud for a Monday. This was our 2nd time there. First time- everything was excellent. Ordered crispy artichokes- they were good. For dinner, the veal picatta had no flavor. The tortellini with peas and prosciutto- also not a lot of zest or flavor. Our waiter mumbled when he spoke. All 4 entrees came at different times. Not worth the prices! Won’t go back.

    We tried La Scala for the first time this weekend for lunch. Lovely atmosphere, very good service, and very tasty food. We shared a salad and a panini. It wasn’t crowded at all which is why noise level so low.

    The pasta was mushy. The chicken was hard. We found out when we were given the check that they now have a 3.5% surcharge when you pay with a credit card. When I inquired why we weren’t told about the surcharge when we were seated, I was told there is a sign at the desk explaining the surcharge. When I left I saw there was a sign on the front desk which isn’t noticeable if there are people standing in front of the desk or if you are seated right away as I was. La Scala’s Fire is a restaurant that doesn’t try very hard. That’s a shame because the menu is interesting and the interior of the restaurant is attractive.

    My martini was $20 as much as my dinner, that was $20. I was with friends and couldn’t say anything at the time. I called today and:spoke to a manager who said the drink should have been 18 but could do nothing now. Very cold, no manners and said I should have said something last nite. I have been there several times and have brought new customers…what warrants that restaurant to even charge 18 for a top shelf vodka. They are not a 4 star restaurant. She could have cared less, as I said , I’ll think twice about returning. I have never complained to a restaurant, but this is outrageous. Not even I’m sorry.

    My dinner was very good, my wife's was passable (great textures, indistinguishable taste). Pricing is moderate, everything went up a buck or two since we we're last there. I'd still recommend it.
