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.

There is no excuse for the prices they charge for the food served. There were too many things gone wrong for me to list, but here are a few. 1. Clean ceilings and fixtures of the dirty dusty webs. 2. I asked for a scotch neat but got it with a ton of ice. When I pointed this out, they took the drink away but brought me back same drink minus the ice.. all watered down. Presentation and food temperature was not right. Almost $7 an oyster, they were good but not worth that price. This is upscale done wrong.

Service was really wonderful - attentive, kind, and helpful. The food was incredible. We had the pear pasta (three of us as it's a favorite), scui scui pasta, and the mahi special and everyone loved their meal. We also enjoyed the calamari appetizer and tried a special appetizer (peppers and pancetta but I can't remember what it was called) and they were excellent as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with delicious food and cocktails. We will be back!

Maybe a little on the pricier side but overall an excellent experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice date night. Great atmosphere as we ate in the main dining room in the 2nd floor.
