| About: | La Scala (in full Teatro Alla Scala) is Italian for "Theatre at the Stairway." In Milan, La Scala is one of the principal opera houses of the world and the leading Italian house. Built in 1776 by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (which then ruled Milan), it replaced an earlier theatre that had burned. In 1872, it became the property of the city of Milan. The house was closed during World War I. In 1920 the conductor Arturo Toscanini led a council that raised money to reopen it, organizing it as an autonomous corporation. The theatre, bombed during World War I, reopened in 1946, partly through funds raised by benefit concerts given by Toscanini. |

The food here was average at best. What concerned me more however was the plumbing, electrical system, and general shabby condition of this place. There is rustic and charming and then there is cheap and tattered. This restaurant is the latter of those two.
Seriously, you can charge me $18 for veal santiago which is roughly the size of an average appetizer, but you can't fix the front door that doesn't even stay closed on its own. Please don't say it is charming, the crappy door closer mechansim is barely hanging on at all.
The bathrooms.... Eck you have to be kidding me.
Half tile, half linoleum, 7 ft ceilings, no ventilation, the breaker box right in front of the bathroom doors with no cover.... Seriously.
Sink some money back into your place and then possibly people will return.
This place is by far the best Italian food in town--probably the state. Everything we had was wonderful. Chef Francisco went out of his way to specially make a dish for my wife due to her food allergies. He told me everything is made fresh when we order it so they can handle almost any special orders. Glad to see they just added a new bar. We tried some of their martini's and they were great. Also, they have a great wine menu. We have never had a bad wine there. Highly recommended!
By far my best experience ever in a hometown restaurant. Staff is nice and will spend time getting to know you and make you feel at home. Food Is EXCELLENT. I have never had better The atmosphere is perfect for a first date and anniverseries basically is great for that once a year meal. I have been there several times i feel it rivals restaurants in chicago. BEST PLACE TO EAT IN TOWN and it won't cost alot me and my wife came had drinks appetizers and entree's and dessert 0nly 65 dollars now seriously who can beat that?
