It had been a year or so since we have been here. I loved the Sherri’s pasta in the past. This time it was not seasoned and it was very bland and disappointing. The meatballs were phenomenal! My husband and friends had no complaints about their meals. They said it was “fine” but they raved about the meatballs. Our waitress was a little preoccupied but she was very pleasant when she did return to our table. Will we return? Maybe. It’s not off the list.

This was an amazing restaurant. I had few complaints, and the food was delicious and the service superb. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful throughout the meal. I had a lovely conversation with her, and she explained all the food in detail. The food was also very good. Mine tasted a bit strange to me, but not in a bad way. Simply something I had never tried. I had the ravioli, and my family members had the seafood special. The cheesecake for desert was also very filling. Very much recommended this restaurant, but note that it might be easier with a reservation in advance.

The food at La Scala is undeniably fresh and expertly prepared. Both the indoor and outdoor ambiance was perfect for an evening meal. We had the cherry and burata as an appetizer which I would definitely recommend, it’s a combination that I really enjoyed. I would also recommend trying the risotto and the seafood, both of which were exceptional. La Scala was a memorable dining experience and will definitely be back.

The olive oil with the bread was delicious. I am not sure what they mixed with the oil, but I couldn’t get enough. Abby was our server and she took very good care of us. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the meatballs to the cannoli. I suggest making a reservation.

The food was amazing! Beautifully plated, tasted incredible, and felt super authentic. Can’t complain at all about the food, the atmosphere is nothing special but you can sit outside. We may do that next time!

Our waitress gave us amazing service, super friendly, everything came out as ordered. The gnocchi were delicious, tasted homemade. The salads and bread were “meh” at best. The rest of the food was alright. The restaurant itself needs a little updating but ok.

Finally got to try this place. Interesting decor and fantastic service. These are less important and lets focus on the food. Would like to give a 3.5/5 on the food but I will round it up.
Each table comes with a small portion of garlic basil olive oil, which I like a lot. Good balance of aroma. The dinner rolls are mediocre. Tastes like from a grocery store.
The starter bacon brie was great. Everything goes together well.
The soup was okay. Not much to comment.
The wild salmon was well cooked but a bit unseasoned. The asparagus was overcooked a bit. The risotto was seasoned well but just a bit dry. The orange reduction on salmon and ravioli was one thing I dont like on this dish. Orange reduction is fine and probably a good idea, but it needs to be seasoned instead of tasting just like thick orange juice. Pinches of salt will do the job.
The gnocchi with fresh mozzarella is good, especially the mozzarella. But we were too full to enjoy this dish. It had good combination of flavors and was well seasoned. One small thing to improve is to cook the garlic either longer or shorter. The garlic had a taste of neither thoroughly cooked nor raw. (both ways have distinct flavors). Not quite pleasant.
The cheesecake was okay. The cheesecake itself and the fruit preserve itself were both great. But the preserve was a bit overwhelming which shades the cheesecake flavor too much. We had to scoop some off.
Overall a pleasant dining experience. Even though I find unsatisfying points, those are not to shadow the good parts. Overall one of the better restaurant locally. I would recommend this place

It’s an overrated Italian restaurant. It’s just mediocre. I live at Purdue for four years and heard good reviews about the restaurant. I love Italian food and also cook . However, the first time experience is not good as my expectations. The lemon fettuccine was just okay and did not have enough layers of flavor. I may not come back considering the price and it needs reservation. Lafayette area has no authentic Italian food. I prefer Olive Garden if I want to eat pasta.

Extremely disappointing. Our reservation stated we could only stay for 90 min. So out of the gate they already imposed an expectation on us. Our reservation was for 8 pm. By 8:45 they were putting chairs on dining room tables and a little after nine they turned off the music. They put us in the position of being hurried. They were to be open from 5pm until 9:30pm and couldn’t even honor that.
And then the food. Farm to table? My gnocchi bolognese had no meat and the sauce tasted like it
was from a can of Chef Boyardee.
The service was average which was the pinnacle of our experience.
Menus were paper and stained.
We will not return and we advise that there are much better options in Lafayette and West Lafayette.

Really tasty pasta and I liked the nice authentic Italian style to it! I like how they use their farm grown veggies from cooking! Pretty fine dining and they usually only prefer prior reservations at least on weekends! I’ll say this place is expensive for a student budget!
