I had an early dinner here before my 7:30 P.M. show at the Bellagio (_O_ by Cirque du Soleil). The ambience, food, and service are all excellent. This a charming, old-world restaurant that provides a wonderful gastronomic experience.

Unfortunately no reviews :(. Called to make reservations but the recording said it was closed for renovations and no date on when it will reopen.

This was a nice local place. I was impressed with the service and the Bartender was great. I was pleased by her quick and personal service.

Loved the apetizers, main course was just OK. We were the only ones having dinner around 7 PM, but the bar was hopping. Made us wonder if we should have done the Happy Hour instead. Used a restaurant.com coupon, but doubt if we would return.

If you are nostalgic for the way things used to be, before the multimillion dollar restaurants with celebrity chefs invaded Las Vegas (not that that's necessarily a bad thing) La Scala, off the strip, is well worth considering. It's a nice restaurant, "fancy" enough to take clients but not so high end that families are out of place. It's a... More

We selected La Scala based on Yelp reviews. It's a 20.00 cab ride from the Paris, but worth it. It's old world italian and has the feel of a piece of class that's hard to find anymore. Our reservation was for 7:30 and when we arrived the restaurant was not busy. We were seated promptly in a booth with tufted... More

Make reservations..we were early but the restaurant did start to get busy. It was an anniversary for us and we were given free champagne. Full bar, great wine list, incredible food and large portions. Service impeccable and I wanted a good restaurant ( used Open Table) that was off the strip and the masses of people. The original chef was... More

This is a very old school Italian restaurant, with live entertainment on the weekends. The waiters are dressed in their tuxes, with lots of attentive service. The food is abundant, but not unusually interesting. Quantities tend to be large, with adequate seasoning. There is a good bar, which seems to be frequented by many locals. In fact, this is very...

I am not a fan of over paying for food on the Strip so I look for nearby spots that get me to more 'local' restaurants that are worth the trip. After reading other reviews about La Scala, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The food was wonderful, and portions were plentiful. The fried calamari... More

My wife and I tried La Scala for the first time several days ago. We found the food to be good but not great. However the atmosphere was terrific. They had a female singer who was really good. All in all an enjoyable experience.
