Sehr gutes, authentisch italienisches Trattoria Essen in authentischer Trattoria Atmosphäre. Äusserst netter und kompetenter Service. Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man in CBD ohne Chi-Chi gut italienisch essen möchte.

The food we had tasted very good but wish the menu had more choices. Service was good but we did have to wait a bit for drink order and bill. Was surprised that a glass of wine was only about 4 ounces yet full price for what is usually at least 6 oz.

This was our first visit to Scala Lane and definitely won't be our last. Food was perfect and the service was wonderful without feeling over-bearing or stuffy. Can't wait to go back.
