After opening in March of 1996, La Scala has transformed itself and undergone many changes over the years! La Scala now features a mix of local and seasonal cuisine with traditional familial influences. These influences begin on the Isle of Capri and journey to all her Mediterranean neighbors. But that’s not all…we strive daily to keep our menu fresh and original in concept and execution. La Scala is operated by a well-trained team of personable and professional staff in the dining room and kitchen, under the direction of Executive Chef Logan Littlejohn & Owner, Anthony Piero Barba. La Scala Mediterranean Bistro has made it’s home in Historic Downtown Rome, Georgia, housed in the former Montgomery Ward Department Store Building with two convenient entrances on Broad Street & Tribune Street.

Always enjoy our meals at La Scala. Rarely disappointed in anything, and often truly surprised by one or two dishes. Service is always quite friendly, and enough. The off menu specials are the treasures here. And they make one of the best whole fish I’ve had outside of the Mediterranean.

I believe all would enjoy eating here. Do expect it to be a little pricey for Rome. The food was excellent. Service was just right. It has a clean and comfortable environment. The womens bathroom needs better lighting. I highly suggest you not get the Washington oysters. When they were brought to the table, we had to do a double take to see if there were actually oysters in the shell. They were about the size of a dime and that is being generous. My husband said they didn't taste that good either but I'm sure they are those who like the taste. If you want a great martini, get the melon mint one. We will definitely eat there again, we just won't make the oyster mistake again!

We’ve dined here several times and love it. Food is excellent. Wait staff are great. They are knowledgeable about the menu. They were very busy this visit and the dining room was loud. This was not La scala’s fault. Just several loud parties. Luckily they cleared out about the time we got our main dishes and it was very nice. 10/10 recommend
