La Scala an Italian Bistro4199 West Dublin-Granville Rd

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. ~ Mark Twain
La Scala is an Italian restaurant with a hint of a piano bar theme. While the piano player sat just a little too close to our table, he provided a fun mix of recent hits with classic piano ditties. I found my meal delicious and, as always, I couldn't keep my hands off the free bread (with oil for dipping of course). But above everything else, our service was the best part of the experience. Our waiter magically appeared to clear plates and refill bread without anyone noticing or interrupting our fun conversation.
But I'd have to say that overall this place just missed the mark for what could've been a GREAT restaurant. The piano was fun, but too close and too loud. The food was wonderful, but my plate was chipped. The bread was amazing, but the dip was so far in the middle of the table that everyone had to awkwardly reach over everything to get to it. In the end, I would still recommend this place to anyone but just learn from our mistakes. Get a table farther from the piano and ask for two bowls for dipping.
