La Scala Ristorante Italiano

About

Chef/Owner, Nino Germano and La Scala

Story

At the age of 9, Nino Germano left Bafia, Sicily to move to Baltimore joining relatives and in search of the American Dream. His father established a successful construction company but Nino held a strong passion for great Italian food. Under his mother’s tutelage in the kitchen, Nino opened an Italian restaurant and pizzeria, Zia Pina. It was successful enough to open a second location.

In 1994, Nino decided to challenge himself further, he sold the initial restaurants and opened La Scala—a cozy 13 table restaurant located in Little Italy. His philosophy was simple—provide great traditional, home-style cooking with quality ingredients and personal attention. His approach worked. Chef and Owner, Nino Germano, treats his patrons “as if they were in his own home.” You will often see Chef Nino personally checking on the diners and making sure everyone is enjoying their meal.

La Scala has expanded after recent renovations and now contains Baltimore’s only indoor Bocce court as well as two private dining rooms and a wine room.

La Scala is highly rated in the Zagat Survey; has been voted “Baltimore’s Best Italian Restaurant” in the annual City Paper poll; voted one of the top ten restaurants by OL’s City's Best, as well as being featured in the Baltimore Sun and Baltimore Magazine.

Definitely going to make a tradition out of eating at this place. I expected more ambience, but the atmosphere was great. I really appreciated the service. Loved the decor. And the food!! Omg! It was excellent. They even gave us small bowls of pasta on the side, so good! Can't wait until we go again!

We were here for a company event. It was a wonderful time. Great food and atmosphere. The chef came and spoke with us. Very classy. A hidden jewel in Little Italy that I highly recommend.

Had a 3 course meal. Grilled Cesar, veal chop mushroom special, pistachio ice cream. They tried to get fancy with the salad and failed. Veal and mushrooms was good just left me wanting something more. Ice cream was okay. The sauce t came with what little pasta I did have aggravated my acid indigestion. Spent too much for what little I got and went home hungry. I think most people go there for atmosphere and think it's authentic italian. If you live in Baltimore go ahead and try it you might find something you like. If you live outside the city, there are better places to spend your money on.

Arrival: This place was pretty popular for Wednesday night Happy Hour. My lady crew and I arrived around 6:15pm. Valet was pretty fast and affordable for the area at $8. It was directly in front of the restaurant and there were three gas lamp type heaters to warm us from the cold and snow. The bar: Upon checking in for our 6:30pm reservation, we noticed immediately that the bar area was filled from the front door. Luckily, we snagged the community table for our party of seven. The bartender competently served the filled bar area alone but quickly. We didn't feel rushed to get to our table for dinner. The staff were great. Dinner: Fabulous food in an atmosphere with incredible aura and ambience. The lights were set where one could see well enough and not strain your eyes. Our host and server were also very knowledgeable and accommodating. The wine menu is impeccable. The homemade pasta was a hit amongst out group as we all had different varieties for dinner. For appetizers we had the grilled caesar salad and artichoke hearts in lemon sauce with capers. Very delicious.

The pasta was absolutely delicious. I had the special with lobster and crab and I couldn't have asked for more. Great service with a very knowledgeable server, nice atmosphere... I loved it! (The photo may not be the best because I like my pasta to drown in fresh parm... but I promise every bite was divine.)
