    Scala is our go to choice for solid Italian food. It has a vibrant feel that makes you feel welcomed. The servers are knowledgeable about the food, the ingredients and what wine pairs well! Some may consider it pricey - but the value is there! Here's my one RUB: the built in booths are lovely and comfortable. Sadly the folks sitting in the chairs across from you are about 5 inches below you. So, while you're talking to their hairline, they are talking to your chin. SCALA it's time to replace those sad wicker midget chairs.

    Scala is one of the few restaurants in downtown Napa that is always bustling seven days a week and the only place to have a proper meal after 8:30pm downtown on a winter Tuesday night. They have the menu dialed, and nice little bar, high ceilings and a great vibe.

    When we checked in with hostess she said, Whose birthday is it? Once seated the staff brought to the table a lovely handwritten birthday card. Though we chose not to order dessert they brought an irresistible vanilla ice cream with lit candle to complete my celebration. Service was impeccable. The waiter was able to say “yes” to each request. The halibut upon a bed of lentil and carrot was divine. They offered a “house wine” that was red, a Cabernet Sauvignon. It was excellent. This restaurant has their act together. No wonder almost every seat was filled.
