Our group of 15 business associates decided to have on dinner "on the square" in the historic…read morecenter city of Wroclaw, Poland last evening.
At 9:00 pm, Wroclaw's square was hopping with pedestrians patronizing the dozens of restaurants, bars and clubs with their European-style seasonal sidewalk cafes that line the square of this attractive college town of 600,000 making it the third or fourth largest metropolitan area of Poland after Warsaw and Kraków.
La Scala, a well-renowned Italian eatery with an attractive outside-awning'd cafe was our choice for the evening. I have dined in many of the Wroclaw's most popular restaurants over the years having been involved in our company's business activities in this region but last night was a first for La Scala.
The baked lasagna was the talk of our end of the table and in fact became my choice after sharing a few outstanding appetizers of bruschetta and calamari.
I could tell immediately by the full-bodied tomatoes and zesty-sweet sauce on the appetizers that La Scala was for real...a real Italian enclave tucked into this meat-and-potatoes corner of the world.
Their signature lasagna was served piping hot in a large baked dish. It's distinguishing feature was its surprisingly light sheets of pasta interlaced with cheese and their prize-winning tomatoey topping.
La Scala got the job done in style for our large group last night. Got to throw 'em a quattro.
