Antipasto to go for the holiday! The sausage on top is the best! When I picked up the salad I couldn't help but notice all of the pistachio cakes waiting for pickup. Next time I will have that for dessert after dinner at La Scala!

Absolutely love the menu, I can’t get enough of the pistachio cake!! The portions are ridiculously large and absolutely meant for two people haha. I love how quaint the space is! I’m hoping to take advantage of the outer patio this summer!! For sure, classic Italian

Just had an incredible meal! Amazing chicken parmigiana pizza and a delicious antipasto salad! The flavors were outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect for a great dining experience. I can’t wait to return soon for another round of these tasty dishes! Highly recommend it!

Always solid, I can't believe that I don't make it here more often. It's my Mom's favorite Italian restaurant in Worcester.

What a lovely place! Excellent and casual Italian dining is at its best. The customer service is one of the best I've experienced. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by Miss Nina; she is a charm and will accommodate any last-minute request; she is cordial and makes you feel welcome; the waiting staff is well-spoken, mannered oriented, and funny. The bartender is knowledgeable about the right mixes to surprise you with top of the line drinks, lovely flavors, the right amount of alcohol of your choice, and excellent presentation. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean, with a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere, encouraging conversation and connection. This is a MUST go place, and it is worth every penny.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here with some friends and wow- the atmosphere is so awesome- the staff were wonderful! I have a gluten allergy and I was so relieved that the waitress was knowledgeable about it and very accommodating. The gluten free pasta was delicious with the vodka sauce. I definitely recommend!

Been coming for years and they never disappoint. The Pizza is too die for, the antipasto is amazing. Would highly recommend.

First time dining here and the service was very attentive, the drinks were a heavy pour, food came out fresh and hot, my meal fed me leftovers for 2 days. I had the “godmother” which was Chicken parmesan layered with fresh herb ricotta, spinach, topped with eggplant, cheese and pink sauce with pasta. I can’t wait to come back here. So many options on the menu.
