    Our first experience at Scala was excellent. We ordered the special caviar toasts appetizer, lobster fettuccine and petrale sole for our mains and tiramisu for dessert. The toast was our favorite bite of the evening, however everything was delicious. Our server was informative and helpful. We will definitely return.

    Thank you for accommodating my special request for seating and providing a thoughtful card and dessert with candle for my friend’s birthday. It was her fist time at the restaurant and we both enjoyed the entire lunch very much.

    Terrific spot for delightful Italian food. Creative menu with numerous choices. Staff was knowledgable and friendly without being overly attentive. It was our anniversary and they presented us with a handwritten card - who does that! Manager came over to greet us and congratulate us too. Triple shout out for "Zee" - she was awesome!

    The menu is fun Italian and the dishes are clean and flavorful. We ordered a pasta, then Chicken Diavolo and the Sole. So so good. Staff is friendly and super attentive. Atmosphere is sophisticated but not stuffy, and lively. My favorite place in downtown town Napa 🥰

    Food was great, Staff is SUPER RUSHY, seating is not so great, AMBIANCE IS LOUD. The ceilings are high, so the noise level is VERY loud. To compound it, the restaurant has some kind of music playing but all you hear is a thumping of the low end bass which is completely annoying. My suggestion is have NO music because you can not even hear it, the place is SO LOUD already it became a a swirling tunnel of sound. Just the noise factor alone made us eat our food fast just so we could LEAVE. One note about servers: I am European: The waiters and bus staff have a BAD HABIT of sticking their arm in front of you and just grabbing plates away. THEY NEED TO ASK IF YOU ARE FINISHED, whether you are obviously done or not DO NOT PUT YOUR ARM ON FRONT OF MY FACE!!
