LaScala Cape Cod

Service was the best. Salad had their Italian dressing which was great. I got shrimp scampi, it just didn’t have flavor. Homemade bread was okay, also lacked flavor too.

They screamed, ran after and swore at 80yr olds that didn't tip after they waited an hour and a half for their food.. were never checked on..had to go find a mgr to find out what the wait was about or where their drinks were. Oh and their food was awful. How they treated these people was assault. Another waitress not even involved jumped in on it too. This place should be shut down.

May have been the worst “Italian “ food I’ve ever had. The chicken parm tasted like it was breaded in straight plain breadcrumbs, was frozen, then thrown directly into a deep fryer with old oil. The sauce was completely tasteless. I don’t think seasoning exists in this restaurant. The linguini with oil and garlic was literally swimming in oil. There was a 1/4 cup of it in the bottom of the dish with gobs of garlic. No color on the plates, not even a speck of parsley or anything to make the meal at least look appealing. The bread was as dry as the Sahara desert. Clearly this is a case of the same cook for probably 30 years that has zero passion and gave up ages ago. There was a window air conditioner less than 1 foot from our corner table blasting on us the entire meal. The AC, or the carpet smelled of old must. It was very overbearing. The server was fine, but was clearly overwhelmed. Did not check on us once during the entire meal. People were being sat at dirty tables and they would come a few minutes later to clean them. Why not clean them first and have the guests wait at the hostess stand? Very overpriced meals. Kids spaghetti with 1 meatball was $14, a plain pasta with butter was also $14. $90 for 2 kids meals, a chicken parm and a linguini with oil and garlic. No alcohol and I had a water. Sorry, but management needs to take a hard look at the kitchen and make some changes before they lose all their customers.

Wonderful authentic Italian food along with delicious seafood, chicken selections etc…. Also, “delectable” desserts so worth trying. Atmosphere was like home & friendly. Great variety drinks by the famous Billy(the best). Service by our lovely waitress was wonderful. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend La Scala’s in Dennisport. You are in for a Treat. - I had a dish with pasta & homemade sausage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

Billy, one of the owners, is fantastic! His warmth and amazing service made our day.
But it is the meatballs in their homemade manicottis that were a life-changing experience!
Strongly recommend LaScala in Cape Cod.

For anyone in the area, this place is a must try. We rented a VRBO down on Heintz rd. And ate here the last night. Portion are huge and they had carry out while we were here.We ordered mussels app. Salad, shrimp scampi and sauteed scallops. Well done folks.

Live close by so we’ve been wanting to try LaScala for a while. Nice location and venue. What appears to be an old Cape Cod house in very good condition. We entered from the back parking lot into a good sized bar area. There is some seating in the bar area. At 5:30 on a Wednesday night it was almost entirely filled. I looked around for some direction or assistance. I quickly saw a young lady at a hostess station on the far side of the bar near the front. She greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere we wanted to. It was at this time I noticed a large from dining room and what appeared to be another dining broom next to that. I asked if this area was open as I didn’t see anyone in there. She said yes it was open and to sit where we liked. We picked a table in the middle front part of the room near the street. While the street is pretty busy you couldn’t hear one whisper of a car going by. There are new windows in the front and they work bet well. The room is nicely decorated in a newer style of what an old Cape house would probably look like. There is a stove in front of a non functioning fireplace in the room. The stove looks like it’s used in the colder months. I hope it does as we plan on returning later in the Fall and perhaps over the winter if they are open.

We were promptly met by our server Kate. She was very pleasant, efficient, attentive and personable. I started with a drink off the seasonal specials menu. Vanilla vodka, pumpkin flavor, etc. It did not disappoint. I’m still in my summer menu mode so I ordered the lightly friend scallops. Entrees come with a salad, carrot cole slaw and a baked potato or pasta. While neither one of those go with friend scallops in my opinion I asked Kate if I could substitute the starch choices with French fries. She said absolutely. The Mrs orders Egg Plant Parmigiana with pasta. During this time the restaurant filled up quit a bit but our drinks, salads & meals came out in a timely manner. Kate also started us off with a small loaf of bread. I missed taking a picture but it looked unlike any small
loaf of bread I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. It had almost a white color to it and it looked like it wasn’t baked yet. The Mrs gave it a squeeze and assured me it was warm. We proceeded to try it but unfortunately it tasted weird. Hard to describe it but it didn’t taste like anything we had ever had before. The salads are typical side salad size. They all come with the house Italian dressing. My salad was drenched in it and my wife’s was a little shy of how much it should have had. I use the word “salad” loosely as it was all lettuce. some black olive slices and one of those little grape tomatoes.

On to the entrees. My scallops were lightly breaded as they were described on the menu. They were good but not great. I’ve had juicer, sweeter ones. There could have been a few more but I did enjoy them. Fries were string fries cooked well the way I like them. I don’t eat Coleslaw so I can’t say how it is.

The Mrs wasn’t impressed with her meal. It was ok she said but just that. She said the sauce tasted like it came right from a jar. She ( not I) knew that the same type of comment is found in a lot of other reviews. She said the eggplant itself again like the pasta was ok. She did say she’d come back but wouldn’t have the pasta again. While I enjoyed my meal more than she did I also concurred that I would come back, as I saw several things on the menu that sound interesting. Overall we liked the staff, the venue, the ambience so we will be giving LaScala a second try some day.

PS. I like to finish off a dining experience with a cappuccino, coffee and dessert in honor of my friend Tony. I did so but asked
if I could get one to go. Cate said of course so I ordered the Caramel Peanut Butter Pie. It came in a bag and I didn’t look at it until I got home. While it was delicious it was pretty small, especially for $10. Many of the restaurants we frequent offer desserts large enough for two or more to share. Lastly if you have Celiac Disease this is not a GF friendly place. No GF pasta.

If you are looking for a cozy Italian Restaurant that is not on 28 or 6A then this is one of those spots. The Chicken Parm is the best in the Cape and the homemade cheese Ravioli is fantastic. We have never been disappointed with our choices at LaScala.
