So happy we took an Uber down to La Scala. True authentic Italian. I never order Italian or seek it out because I come from an Italian family w THE BEST cooks. This place was excellent. Chicken parm w vodka sauce(I asked for the vodka sauce) was exceptional. Wife got Chicken Saltimbocca which was different from the rest. The chicken was stuffed w prosciutto which made it really tasty. Vodka rig side Highly recommend.

Took a day trip out to Baltimore to see the aquarium m, but was starving after and heard this was the best Italian in the city. The server was friendly and we got a lot of the signature dishes she recommended. Almost everything was amazing here! The Grilled Caesar had a great char that paired well with the dressing. The Shrimp Toast special was buttery, rich and melt in your mouth. Both our pastas were great as well! Sauces were not overpowering and you could taste the sweet crab and lobster in both. You can't forget their signature Espresso Martini as well! A great date night and must try when you're in Baltimore!

If you are looking for authentic Italian food in Baltimore then I recommend adding La Scala to your list. The food was delicious and they had large portions, perfect for sharing. The staff is nice and even the chef came by the want to introduce himself. The restaurant is located in a walkable area as well. The pasta is freshly made and is really good.

Absolutely delicious meals!! Went for a birthday dinner with the girls and it did not disappoint. The classic Alfredo was my favorite. Our server was great in recommending favorites and providing options. The restaurant itself was very cute inside and felt very authentic. We were able to bring a cake for the birthday and they cut and served it for us. The espresso martini was a great after dinner dessert!

La Scala was highly recommended to us when we were visiting Baltimore, and I can see why. Amazing service with very knowledgeable and friendly staff, fresh and tasty dishes, all in one cozy, classy spot. We had such a fantastic experience here. My seafood pasta was delicious and filling. Our server knew when to check in on us to make sure we always had water/everything else we needed. We also bought their olive oil to take home because we loved dipping our bread into it! Will definitely come again when if we visit Baltimore again.

Shary and I found ourselves in Baltimore and we wanted to do something different for dinner. Different for us is Italian because Shary is GF. La Scala did a terrific job with that. So many options for GF dining. Every bite was yummy and we ended with a tasty cappuccino.

I've wanted to try La Scala forever and am so glad I finally made it in! FANTASTIC experience! The restaurant itself is so cozy and has a great atmosphere. Our server JJ was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. I'd heard rave reviews about the Espresso Martini and it absolutely did not disappoint, it was the best I've ever had! The Fettuccine Samantha was incredibly delicious and had tons of crab meat. The sherry cream sauce was heavenly! Will absolutely be back here soon!

I've never been to Italy so idk if La Scala has a strong Italian vibe, but it seemed like it to me. Felt like I could go right out back and play bocce, lol. It was packed when I arrived, lots of couples and families. Sat at the bar and enjoyed interacting with the hilarious bartenders and other patrons. La Scala's menu had a ton of options that were appealing to me, but I went with the special, snapper with asparagus. Additionally I had an espresso martini that was exquisite (and I'm NOT a cocktail drinker). The fish came with a small bowl of pasta, which I didn't eat until the next day, but it was excellent. The snapper itself was delicious and I'm pleased I had leftovers of it I also ate the next day. It was a great visit from start to finish. The owner even stopped by to say Hi! I absolutely shall return!

Let me start by saying the atmosphere was amazing. Our servers energy and personality is what makes this place 5 stars. We had the grilled Caesar, calamari, and shrimp toast for our appetizers. I thought the Caesar was super tasty but felt like the calamari was quite bland. I ordered the linguine al pesto and added clams. It was out of this world good. I make my own pesto so I can be a bit of a snob. Their pesto was so flavorful and adding the clams added to the texture.

I finally tried La Scala, and it didn't disappoint. I wasn't drinking so I didn't try their famed espresso martini so I will need to go back. I met up with a girlfriend on weekday so I didn't make a reservation, but I was seated really quickly. They did ask for my phone number before seating me. This is definitely an old-school establishment. There's carpet on the floor and the staff is in uniform. There's bread service with an olive oil they sell at the restaurant. We shared the special grilled Cesar (the only negative was the knife at the table was so dull it was hard to cut into the romaine). The vodka pasta was comforting and not pictured (their mussels were epic). I need to come back to try the pasta Samantha and cocktails. I will say it's very classic American Italian. There is a giant tv (which was kind of odd for a semi romantic ambiance) and a bocce ball court, which you can reserve. It's one of the only few places in the city that has valet but you can usually find street parking or there's a garage in little Italy.
