We've been here a week, tried other places, but have decided its not worth it! The menu here is huge & initially I was concerned that they couldn't possibly do so many things well; but we were never disappointed. We've enjoyed everything we've tried. Highlights were the house-made "ravioloni" (giant ravioli) in a variety of preparations -- I loved them... More

GO HERE! it was insane! I don't think that there was anything that we didn't enjoy. Trastevere is the one spot that has the best spots.

We ate here twice, which tells the story of how amazing the food was. The service was first class as well. You weren't rushed through your meal, unlike other places in Rome. They let you take as long as you wanted, even after you had finished. The food was absolutely fantastic. The farmhouse lasagne was the best i have ever... More

Trastovere is a great neighborhood with lots of nightlife and people walking around late in to the night. Great value for plenty of food. The pasta, lamb, and appetizers were great! Make a reservation for a better table, we would have like to sit outside but it was packed. Definitely would go back!

Found this little restaurant in the Trastevere district and so glad we did as it is a little gem. Little bit more upmarket in terms of food than other places but didn't get ripped off. We had 2 courses each and 2 bottles of wine and it came to 67 euros.....and we didn't leave a scrap of food it was... More

This restaurant was recommended by a friend. We found it easily and ended up eating their twice; once in the evening and once at lunchtime. The menu is varied, the food was very good and value for money. The wine menu was extensive and affordable. The desserts come in two sizes which was ideal after the size of the main... More

We ate at La Scala after our hotel recommended it to us.... we were so impressed that we went back for lunch the day after! It's a short walk in the Trastevere area of Rome - only 10 minutes from Campo de Fiori - so no need to get a taxi and within walking distance. We had seafood pasta dishes... More

We came across La Scala during a walk in Trastevere and decided we wanted to try it in the evening. It was well worth the effort, despite the fact we had to come across 'town' to do so. The staff were freindly and the food good. It's certainly a place I would recommend.
