    What wonderful place. It was recommended to me by the hotel staff where I'm staying for a few days nearby due to a business trip. I couldn't make up my mind because everything looked appetizing. Thank you to my server Kiz who made my experience a nice visit

    We were in Philly for the weekend, and ended up across the border in New Jersey hoping to find some Italian food, and this is definitely the spot to go to. We ordered the meatballs, arancini, eggplant Parmesan, and the veal Parmesan. The portions were huge, but also the food comes out as it is ready, not all at once. I really liked this concept as we got the food at its freshest. The restaurant has a nice view of the water, and creates a nice casual atmosphere while enjoying your meal. This is definitely a spot to try if in the area.

    beautiful place and great staff. The pizza was fine- we got the truffle and short rib pizzas. They're both white pizzas and they tasted fine. we asked for a side of mariana sauce to dip in and it was good. It was a nice place to sit next to after a walk at copper park. I love cooper park so it's good there's decent food nearby!

    Cute and clean restaurant right on the river! Have a pretty good happy hour which is what we came in for. I had the Birra Margarita and I believe it was blood orange - so delicious!! My coworker and I got the caprese and cheese pizza off of the happy hour menu. Pizza was just ok, but loved the pesto and balsamic glaze combo on the caprese! The pizza had about 6 pieces and the caprese had 4 portions which was plenty for two. My two favorite items were the Cheesesteak Eggrolls (came with 4) and the Brussel Sprouts. Both had great flavors and were filling. I loved the cheese sauce with the eggrolls - not gritty and stayed melted. Lastly we rounded it out with dessert which I wasn't impressed with. My coworker got the tiramisu and loved it. I got the Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding and it just felt like I was eating a hunk of bread with no flavor. Couldn't taste the banana and the chocolate chips were not noticeable. I was bummed because it sounded so good. Service was a bit slow but he was friendly and provided recommendations. I'd come back!

    Love visiting LaScala's when I'm in the tri-state area. Service is always so friendly and welcoming and the food is good. Good food, delicious drinks and even better company! I mean what more can a girl ask for lol. This visit was for happy hour so we enjoyed truffle fries, crispy zucchini, and the birra wings. Next time my friend wants to meet for drinks in Jersey I'm going to be sure to let him know the only place I want to go is LaScala's.

    Shout out to Chelsey and team for their excellent service and delicious food and drink. Always a pleasure to spend time at LaScalas Birra on the Cooper River. See you soon :)

    The ambience and view is amazing. Located at Cooper River Park. The service was wonderful. And the food was delicious...and Big portions. We ordered the Crispy Birra Calamari, Chicken Italiano Panini, and for dessert we had the Brownie with Vanilla Ice cream & whip cream. Everything was delicious.

    Margherita and Pear/Gruyere Pizza
    Missy S.

    It is extremely rare that I give a rating like this. We ordered 3 pizzas and 2 desserts. I was very surprised that the margarita was extremely bland. I don't think I've ever wanted to add salt to a pizza, but I did in this case, plus the mozzarella did not taste fresh. The Buffalo Chicken and Pear and Gruyere pizzas were fairly good. My husband got the tiramisu and said it was good and a very large portion. My kids and I split the Zeppoli and these were, to use a very strong word, awful. Three of us tried it, and all came to the same conclusion. The dough was undercooked and heavy, the filling was kind of confusing to us. It definitely tasted a bit like cannoli but somehow had almost no taste, and the sauce that it came with was sour and unpleasant. It was just a really poor showing for $70 worth of food.

    Chicken Francaise
    Glenn R.

    I patronized LaScala's Birra a few weeks ago and had a wonderful dining experience! I would recommend friends, family, and strangers to enjoy a meal here (but don't all sit together). The atmosphere, when I dined, was quiet and relaxing. Check online for specials and happy hour - when I went, there were some patrons sitting at the bar and some seated at the non-bar dining area. No matter where you sit, you can enjoy a nice view of the river. My server (sorry, the name escapes me) was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. He took the time to explain to me how the kitchen operates. Happiness is all about managing expectations! My appetizer was arancini. Wow, it was so creamy and delicious! My mouth is watering, even now, thinking about how tasty it was. The arancini was plated beautifully. My entree was chicken francaise over linguini. Honestly, I have had better chicken francaise... I feel it was a tad undercooked and needed more fresh lemon in the sauce. Please understand this was not a deal-breaker for me: I will visit the restaurant again as this was my first time there. The menu has so much variety I am looking forward to trying something else. There are many pizza, seafood, and salad options. Of note: I ordered a to-go eggplant parmigiano for a friend - she was very pleased with this meal. The portion was ample and she said it was delicious. When she opened it, it looked very appetizing to me! Overall, I left full and happy, with a desire to return and see what else LaScala's Birra has to offer me.

We each opted for the 4 course tasting menu ($55 each, Sundays only). Nothing was bad, and there were a few good items, but overall the majority just lacked any wow factor for the high prices. The restaurant was recently renovated and while it looks sleek, it lacks ambiance. Service was lackluster at best. One server, Tara, handled the restaurant and she unfortunately seemed bothered by having customers. She quickly recited the specials without enthusiasm and barely checked on our table during the meal. My first course, beef carpaccio was fine, but lacked any real flavor. Second course was baked scallops and shrimp, again, it was fine, but nothing I couldn't have made at home. Third course was rigatoni with Sunday gravy, the flavor was good, and the pasta was cooked al dente. And dessert was tiramisu, which lacked any espresso flavor at all. The bill, including the tip, came to $207 for the three of us. Considering the prices, quality, and service, I cannot recommend this place and would not return.
