    Delicious dinner and great ambiance. When it’s crowded, it’ll get a little noisy but it’s a small price to pay to enjoy such amazing food. Thank you for opening such an awesome establishment.

    I really like LaScala's Fire. I like the menu. The food is good and service is generally pretty good. The only negative I have is the music. Towards evening they really turn it up and since it's already very loud with customer conversation, there is no need for the music to be as loud as they have it.

    This has become one of my favorite places to eat in the last year! The only downside is the guitarist/singer. He is too loud and not particularly talented. This is not a piano bar. I personally don’t think he belongs in this type of setting. If he wants to sing a soft, happy birthday to a patron, that’s great, but he doesn’t need to continue to serenade them for three or four more songs at the top of his lungs. It ruins the experience for those of us sitting around it.
