    Fried artichokes
    Lucy P.

    Came here on a Saturday with hubs for a date. (Make reservations as this place gets busy. ) The restaurant is nice and open and staff is friendly. We did our usual, apps, entrees and dessert. I mean that's only fair in doing a proper review. For apps we had the fried artichokes, Italian eggrolls and stuffed long hots. Eggrolls were my favorite. They were like a mini roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich but in a tiny package. So good. The artichokes were good but for the price I would pass it was mostly arugula. Long hots were spicy and stuffed. Hubs like them. Steak sandwich was good. Not dry. Now to the pizza. I enjoyed the prosciutto and fig pizza more than the margarita but only because of the salty sweet contrast. So good. Pizza crust had a nice chew. Dessert was good. I like the citrus flavor of the ricotta cheesecake a lot. If I was in the area I would go back.

    I came here with my family from out of town And everything was amazing from the staff, service, food and live playing music. The staff was amazing with service and the food coming. Out fast fresh and hot. My uncle enjoyed the dinner the night of June 30th, 2026. Definitely a must to go back and try some of their pasta that looked amazing coming out of the kitchen.

    The best item to get here is the ricotta board! You can't go wrong with any food here! The live music was great. I've also been for trivia and it is so much fun. The staff is friendly and the food came out in decent time. Overall, a great time and one of my favorite places of all times.

    It was good! The food came super fast. It was a little loud in the restaurant. Overall a good experience.

    We arrived on a Saturday night at 7:00 pm, and to my surprise, we had our choice between a few different spots at the bar offering four seats together. I was expecting the bar to be packed with the hopes of finding a pair of bar seats so two of us could sit and two could stand. LaScala's was busy. The tables were all occupied and they had a wedding in their private room. We started off with drinks; a couple of Tito's & Clubs, a Stoli Elit Martini with a twist and a Hendrick's Martini with an olive. Drinks were great as were the bartenders. They were friendly, patient, and one was always available to put in some food or mix up another drink despite how busy the restaurant was. We also had the mussels in red and caprese. The mussels, again like my prior visits, were delicious. They were tender and succulent, and the gravy was so good I could have ate the entire bowl with a spoon. The caprese was displayed beautifully and tasted as good as it looked. For dinner, we ordered Angel Hair with crab, Eggplant Parm, and Chicken Marsala. Again, the presentation was great. I thought the food was plated beautifully and the portion sizes were huge. The Marsala sauce was delicious. It came with two large pieces of tender chicken and plenty of mushrooms. My fiancé really enjoyed the Angel Hair with crab as well and had some leftovers she ate the following day that reheated well. The food this visit was great and we all enjoyed our dinners. The entire experience really changed my outlook on LaScala's Fire as I will not hesitate to return in the future for dinner and drinks. Side note: The bartender even offered to let me taste a beer, which I thought was very nice of him, as I was trying to decide between two drafts. I ended up going with LaScala's blood orange IPA which was very smooth and refreshing. My fiancé who doesn't like IPAs even thought it wasn't bad.

    Everyone enjoyed their food ! service was a little slow not sure if it was because a large party (my first time there). Spacious and clean, chill atmosphere. Family friendly and chill bar area

    Well done Italian fare, modern chic Exploring NJ and found a place to try for a quick lunch. So we made the trek to give them a try. Inside, it's very much your modern fancy locale. Open kitchen, high ceilings with exposed piping and metal painted black, marble tops to the bar and tables. A very fancy place. Our server was prompt and courteous, friendly and helpful. She checked in multiple times and always made sure our drinks were topped off. We ordered the meatball trio for me, the mussels for her, and the stuffed red hots to share. Food came out after a short wait, which gave us time to chat. The meatballs were great. The ricotta was just salty enough to help mellow out the sweet marinara and punch the flavors of the meatball. The texture of the meatball was dense on the fork when cutting, but melt in your mouth when eaten. It was seasoned, presented, and executed expertly. A very solid meatball. The mussels were advertised a spicy, but not so much. The flavor was great though. Bright, acidic tomatoes with bits of pork chorizo in a flavorful broth was a delight to savor with mussels or bread. The stuffed long hots were very hot, so much so that any semblance of filling was overshadowed by heat. But the peppers did have a great char and a good earthy tone to them. Overall, it was a very well done tapas lunch. It's got a bit of the modern chic going on, but they accept all. Was a great meal, and they are worth a trek

    Went here for lunch on a Tuesday. Wasn't crowded, the food came out quickly. The food was just OK, nothing special. I used to come here and get the octopus salad but they took it off the menu. My family got the Mista salad with shrimp, Caprese salad, and egg rolls, chicken wings and crab linguine. They have large food portions. The drinks were horrible and very strong.

    I visit the promenade at Sagemore frequently but never tried the food/drinks at LaScala's fire. I chose bar seating and ordered an expresso martini , vodka rigatoni, and TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE. Everything was good! It was pretty busy for a Monday night. Not too loud but you could hear all the chatter from people talking.

    Cheesesteak eggrolls are amazing here
    Scott P.

    I've been here twice and both times had a great experience. The brick oven pizzas are really good. Definitely check those out. Cheesesteak eggrolls may be the best I've had. Not greasy and packed with ribeye. Skip the boneless wings though - small portion for the price and the "fire" variety were not only not hot...they were flavorless. My wife like her sushi roll. All around good food, and good service. Happy hour is M-F 3-6pm. Solid selection of beer on draft is always a plus for me too.

    Do you offer "Gluten Free" Pizza and Pasta?

    We do not offer gluten free pizza or pasta but have many gluten free items on our menu.

    Is the margherita pizza vegan if the cheese is left off (sauce and dough vegan)? Same for the mista salad (no cheese or anchovy in the dressing)?

    The margherita is vegan without the cheese. There is no eggs I'm our dough and no cheese in our pizza sauce. The mista will be vegan without cheese but make sure to ask for no bread, we use bread as a garnish and there is egg is our bread dough.

    Does this restaurant deliver?

    We do not deliver

    Do you allow pets?

    Yes we do. The whole promenade is pet friendly

    Is it a long wait to eat outside during the weeknight? We would like to bring our dog.

    Weeknights are usually not a long wait (only been 2 times on weeknights) and they always supply fresh water for our pup when outside.

When we first arrived, we were greeted by a gum-chewing hostess and seated right away, which was fine. It took a few minutes for our waiter, Juan, to come over and take our order. We didn't order any appetizers, so our salads came out quickly. After that, we waited...and waited...and waited. The delay was long enough that the manager came over to ask how everything was and whether we were interested in dessert. I had to tell him that we hadn't even received our meals yet. When the food finally arrived, everyone else enjoyed their dishes--veal parm, chicken franchise, and a few others. I ordered the special, described as a porterhouse pork chop with potatoes, vegetables, and a mushroom cream sauce. Thankfully, I asked for the sauce on the side, because it was very sweet--even the waiter mentioned that. The pork chop itself was cooked the way I like it, but it was not a porterhouse cut. A true porterhouse pork chop should be bone-in with both the tenderloin and loin sections. What I received was more like a pork loin cut, and while it was listed as 16 oz, it didn't appear to be anywhere near that size. Moving forward, we'll likely take a break from Casa

For my entree, I decided on the Chicken Frangelica which gave a sweet and savory flavor. My husband had the butter fish which was tasty. Give them a try if you're in the area. The decor inside was nice and they have an outdoor seating area.

The vibe here is nice and the outdoor dining section is beautiful. It's been a while since I've dined here and was hoping for a more positive of an experience than last time. We elected to sit at the bar, my first time sitting at the bar here. We were greeted with baskets of bread and some dipping oil which hit the spot. We started with drinks, of course. My Blood Orange Martini was great, especially if you like sweeter drinks (my fiancé said it was too sweet for her). My fiancé loved her Spritz off of the seasonal cocktail list. We all ordered Nuovo Linguine & Clams, 2 in red and 1 in white. It was beautifully plated with lots of clams (also came with shrimp and clam balls -- the star of the dish), but we all thought the dish itself was bland. This is a dish I've ordered many times in the past and used to love. Maybe an off night or maybe things have changed in the few years since I've dined here. Anyway, after my last two experiences here, I'm not in a rush to come back.
