Quick friendly knowledgeable server. Great food. Five different dishes, five Happy Campers. Expresso Martini was Very Good (and almost double in size, with the mixing glass portion). read more

Dinner Saturday night for five of us was memorable. Generous drinks. Delicious garlic bread with cheese: Almost its own entree, we had 4 orders before we were done. Manicotti for 4 of us and Chicken Parm for myself. Each entree includes soup or salad. Large plates and very generous portions. I could not finish my Chicken Parm (and enjoyed it again at home this evening.) Service is friendly and thoughtful. Plenty of parking out back. Gem on Cape Cod in Dennis. read more

Love this place. Great people and service. Went 2 nights in a row. Will definitely be back

Breaded fish was below par. Pasta sauce was average. Was disappointed and would not recommend.

This place is insulting to all Italians. The pre-meal bread was microwaved. Newsflash, this bread is supposed to be baked and slightly browned. The sauce is straight tomato puree, no seasoning whatsoever. Spaghetti tasted like it had almost been sitting in that flavorless sauce and rinsed off with water. It was disgusting. Mushy meatballs that are basically butter soaked breadcrumbs with a little meat; garlic bread was like a cracker with jarred crushed garlic. I pity the fools that think this is considered Italian food. I will say our waitress was very nice. read more

We prefer to eat at the bar and our experience with Billy and Norah were nothing short of fantastic. Felt very "at home", great service, food and cocktails. Really enjoyed the other customers, many who are regulars. Looking forward to going back! And "Tom" one of the customers deserves special recognition for his generosity to the staff. Extremely thoughtful! read more

The only reason this place received one star is because of the wonderful waitress. It was the worst so-called Italian restaurant I've ever been to. The meatballs were mush; the sausage was too tough to cut; the garlic bread was like crackers; the small loaf of bread was unbaked; the topper though was the sauce!! it was like water down tomato puree!!! it was gross! I would advise the chef to get a job at McDonalds!! read more

love this place! The bar is the best...Billy and Nora have everything under control muscles were on point dirty martini was perfect the salad was authentically Italian Keno if you want to try your luck will definitely be back read more

Spent 2 weeks on the Cape in July, ate at various places, by far the best meal and seafood, pasta was at LaScala. Our group of 6 all agreed after we returned from our vacation, LaScala was the number 1 place for us. Great service, friendly, cosy interior, great bar. The locals know a great place when they find it. read more

AMAZING! On the cape for 5 nights. Grateful we found this restaurant. Wonderful hosts and amazing food. After dinner we said "we can eat here every night!' That good. Unfortunately we learned they were closing for 3 weeks (for good personal reasons) Such a treat we got to experience their hospitality and delicious food. If you get the chance to eat here don't hesitate. read more

We went to LaScala recently and it was great. Our dinners were very simple. I had a sirloin steak and my wife had pasta with pesto both with a small salad and both were very good. Our server was Katerina and she was fantastic. She provided great service and was very friendly and personable with a great sense of humor. The setting at LaScala is an old house in Dennisport that feels very much like the old home it once was. We look forward to returning. read more

My husband and I walked over to La Scala for dinner last nite and so happy we did! I went old school spaghetti & meatballs, my husband had the scallops & linguine dish. Both equally delish!!! We also shared an order of garlic bread and so so good!! Loads of roasted garlic and just the right amount of cheese. Best beach bread on Cape!! Bottle of red very very reasonable. Thank you La Scala! read more

The food was good. Service was great. Our waitress was great even packed our food. The antipasto with sausage was amazing with romaine lettuce. The scallops sautéed with linguini.. just good all around pricing was average read more

BEST ANTIPASTO SALAD I've ever had. Homemade sausage. Topped with the works. Amazing dressing and bread to boot. Took it to go and ate at the beach. Can't beat it! We will definitely be back. The new owner has truly outdone himself. read more

LaScala Cape Cod - Antipasto salad with homemade sausage - Italian Near Me - Dennis Port, Massachusetts

We finally tried the restaurant after passing by it do many times. We arrived before 5, parked in the back and used the bar entrance. The food was very good, but a little on the pricey side. Homemade sauce was very good! Service was good also. (We sat at the bar.) The bar side of the restaurant seems to be very popular with the locals. read more

Great food. Great place. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed and will definitely be back.

The food was fabulous. The bar was very attentive and the waitresses were on top and moving all night. Thank you for a true cape cod vibe.

Please, don't be fooled. Same owner. Somewhat of a new look. Food is still terrible. They are the perfect candidate for restaurant rescue. Save your money and try one of the other 100 hundred restaurant in the area. They are all better. read more

Ordered the combo eggplant and chicken parm with penne. Large portion but much parm or mozzarella. The penne was dumped on the plate without draining and it watered down the red sauce which was acidic and had little flavor. If you want a lot of food but don't care much about taste this is the place to go to. read more

LaScala Cape Cod - Eggplant and chicken parm - A white plate contains chicken parmesan topped with tomato sauce and breading, served with cooked pasta penne on a dark table. A fork is placed on the plate, and a knife rests on the edge of the plate with some sauce on it. In the background, there is a glass of water with a lemon wedge, a napkin, and a basket of bread. The setting appears to be a casual dining restaurant. - Italian Near Me - Dennis Port, Massachusetts

We hadn't been a long time to we decided to try it again. The chicken piccata was not that good. the sauce was flavorful but the chicken came as a giant breast. Usually in restaurants you have chicken tenders. This chicken was rubbery. You have to tenderize those larger pieces, it's just not good as a giant slab of chicken. The other dish was chicken parm. same prob. the chicken needs to be tenderized. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do it. Also, the red sauce was not good. The bread was delicious and the salad was good . read more

Lascala has re opened with new owners. We went last night and had a great meal for a great value. They re did the inside with new floors , paint, Lighting, tables and chairs. The food is the same great value. I had the chicken parm and could only eat half of it. I will definitely be going back read more

See all

We had a delicious dinner tonight at La Scala. We were a party of four and we got the following dinners - seafood fra diavolo, pesto pasta with shrimp (substituted for scallops), chicken and eggplant parmigiana and baked cod. Everything was delicious and we had excellent service. We also had calamari and fried ravioli for appetizers- both were wonderful. Can't wait until our next dinner at La Scala. read more

Heart and soul goes into this fantastic staple restaurant in dennisport!! The gravy (aka tomato sauce) was a close tie with one of the best i ever had. The chicken parm , was perfectly breaded and cooked to perfection. To top it off Billy the bartender made our experience nothing short than delightful! Absolute hidden gem !! read more

We had dinner this past Thursday at Lascala . We got there around 6 o'clock so it was just starting to get busy and we chose to sit in the bar area which is big and was nice and cool considering it was pretty hot out . We sat and our waitress came right over and took our drink orders and gave us menus and explained the specials. We have been coming here for years so I already had a few things in mind to order. There veal Parmesan has always been my favorite here for year's. My wife ordered the sirloin steak and I got the backed haddock. The meals come with salads and warm crusty bread to start with , I've always enjoyed there salads or antipasto they can be a meal in themselves. We both got penne with Italian sauce as side dishes with our meals the sauce was on point. My wife enjoyed her steak and she said it was cooked exactly how she ordered it and my baked haddock was excellent the bread crumb topping was delicious and the carrots with it were delicious. So again we had a great dining experience here and would highly recommend this place if your in the Dennisport area to give it a try . read more

We visited LaScala for the first time last night. I went inside to see what time they opened and was greeted warmly by Billy. He told me they opened on 15 minutes but welcomed us to sit at the bar for a drink to wait. The food and the staff were great. The chicken parmigiana portions were huge and the pasta was cooked just right. There was no pressure to order or to leave. One of my new favorite restaurants in Dennisport. Thanks Billy read more

I love this place! Home made Italian food, the best anti pasta.. the best is the bartender, Billy! Be patient sometimes it gets a little crazy busy, but worth the wait. Don't forget to have a slice of their home made key lime pie. Made in house, the best! read more

We went on a Sunday night when most other restaurants were closed. We had the whole dining room to ourselves! We all started with Martinis which were large, priced right and delicious! Food comes in big portions. We had the eggplant and chicken parm. They were both very good. The mussels were a show stopper. Delicious! Our waitress was simply delightful and couldn't have been nicer. Only suggestion is to add a caprese salad to the appetizer list. Good for families and priced very reasonably. read more

Ordered a To Go order with a large group, after the usual season and this place was one of the few still open. I had garlic bread with cheese and a side of meatballs. Others in the group had the chicken parm. The garlic bread was sad. Maybe I'm spoiled, but when I think garlic bread I think bread that is 2-3" wide an at least 6" long, crusty outside, chewy inside. Then covered in a layer of garlic (sometime cooked, others raw) then a thick layer of mozzarella cheese. Then toasted. These were more an inch wide, not very thick, 4" long, hard as rocks, with a little Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I could taste only minimal garlic. The meatballs were ok, about 2" diameter, but the red sauce they came in, and that came with the garlic bread, was uninspired, and not much more than tomato sauce out of a can. Others in my party found the chicken parm dry with almost no cheese on top. The pasta that came with was over cooked, with more of the bland red sauce. This was a Saturday night, about a week or two after the season on Cape Cod had ended (late in October), so they may have been short of staff and ingredients, this may have been their last weekend open for the season. And we were a reasonably large group (about 10 of us), but still. read more

I'm on the Cape for another season and the good has been maintained. We always gravitate to Lascala because good never goes out of style. Solid old style Italian, large portions, and really terrific service.The antipasto with sausage is as good as it gets. Chicken Parm is sharable. read more

We made a reservation and got there right on time at 6:30. There was one other table of four and a few people in the bar area. It was almost 8pm and we still hadn't received our food. We complained when the waitress finally came.. as most people would. The waitress went to get the manager. Instead of apologizing and trying to make up for the terrible service, he accused us of not making a reservation.. we did. Then he accused us of not getting there on time.. we did. At no point did he try to make amends. He was confrontational and unwilling to make their wrong into a right. We told him we didn't want the food anymore and we didn't want to pay for it. He threatened to call the police. We said fine. He left the table and returned 10 minutes later with our check. We paid it and left. He was a horrible man who singlehandedly ruined our night. He swore at our kids using the F word as we left and almost shut the door on our daughter's leg. No wonder the place was practically empty. I will never go there and I will make sure to tell anyone coming to Cape Cod to avoid that place like the plague. read more

Billy was absolutely amazing!!! I am lactose intolerant and when he brought the bread he also brought garlic and oil for me. That has never happened for me, I was so impressed!!! Amazing homemade Italian dressing and the food was delicious and fresh! read more

This review is posted on both of La Scala's Yelp pages. As a local during the summer for the past 20 years, I've been here once and I'll never go back. I got the chicken Pam and it was legitimately raw throughout, as if it had been breaded and fried up a tiny bit on both sides and then plopped on my plate. I cut into it and immediately told the waitress and she seemed annoyed and didn't want to deal with it or acknowledge that it was raw. After I lost my appetite, I didn't even want another meal in fear of what else would come out of the kitchen. The rest of my family did not enjoy their meal either. The sauce tasted like it came from a jar and the food is not homemade nor is it authentic Italian food. Since it's really the only "Italian" restaurant in Dennis port proper, La Scala seems like an obvious choice for people on vacation, however there are so many other options that are a thousand times better that are just down the road on Rt. 28. read more

Visited this Restaurant on a recommendation from a hotel desk clerk and had high hopes but was very disappointed. Service was poor. Food quality was terrible and obviously not fresh. Unfortunately I will not be visiting this establishment again and would not recommend to anyone :( read more

Can't understand why this location never seems to meet the bar set by the Worcester location. Thought last year I just struck out on the veal parm, so opted for the chicken parm. Great prices and portion sizes are huge, but The food here is meh. Anti pasto, bland, looks like they use bag lettuce, which was turning brown, and the sausage could break a tooth if you're not careful. Two strikes and I'm out. read more

I went during vacation so I was ready to go slow and relax and talk with my friends, we had reservations for 6:30 and we walked in at 6:30 and were seated at 6:31. We waited a while for the drinks,which we got no refills, waited more to order, and at this point I don't care, I'm talking with my friends and family. We waited more to get salads, and after and hour and fifty-five mins we were going to tell our waitress that we didn't want the food anymore because we got to the point where we weren't hungry anymore but we only saw her twice. So when we told her that at some point we don't want the food, she walked away and we got the food soon after. After over 2 hours the food tasted bland and like it was cooked in a microwave. Save your time and money and go elsewhere!! read more

My husband and I were absolutely delighted when La Scala reopened with updated decor and same excellent food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Thanks, Ellie, for your ever authentic and exceptional eggplant, and Billy, for the warm personal touch of our go-to Italian restaurant. We love La Scala!! read more

Excellent dinner. Great service. Had baked scallops. They were amazing. My husband had chicken Parmesan. It was also great. Meatballs were outstanding! Nice atmosphere. read more

Don't let the atmosphere deter you. The food is delicious. My friends had the mussels and highly recommend it. My Italian husband raved avlbour the veal parmigiana. It's old school eed sauce Italian American: huge portions, small dinner salads, and hot hone made bread. Don't go looking for haute cuisine but for a good, tasty and we'll priced casual meal, I recommend it. We will be back. read more

My husband and I had a delicious dinner tonight. Fresh garden salad and sautéed mussels. The sauce was perfect with the freshly baked bread. Main course of chicken/eggplant parm combo with a side of their homemade meatballs was the best ever! The perfect Italian dessert is tiramisu which was to die for! The dining room is very clean and cozy with a wood burning stove for added ambience. The staff is very friendly, attentive and extremely cautious regarding covid protocol. We were very comfortable dining inside and look forward to going again. Lynn E. read more
