We had a great dinner at Napkins with a party of six and were seated outside on the patio…read more I was a little disappointed by the limited selection of red wines available by the glass, especially since I really wanted a glass with dinner. They did have several nice bottles to choose from, though. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and took great care of our table. We started with the pastry appetizer and the mushroom arancini balls. Both were good, but neither was anything that completely blew us away. My husband and I both ordered the halibut, and it was fantastic. The portions were generous, the fish was incredibly flavorful, and we both absolutely loved it. Everyone else at our table was also very pleased with their meals. The only unpleasant part of the evening was not really the restaurant's fault. The people seated next to us kept putting their small dogs on the table and allowing them to eat off their plates and lick the table. I have dogs and fully support bringing them along to dog-friendly restaurants, but that felt very unsanitary. I do think someone from the restaurant should have asked them to stop, although I'll give the staff the benefit of the doubt that they may not have seen it. Overall, we had a really great experience and would definitely recommend Napkins. I'd give it a solid 4.5 stars!

TLDR: Super attentive service in an adorable classy space. Instagram worthy drinks but food…read morecould've used a bit more attention Our waiter was the sweetest guy. He told us about the specials and I took him up on the special: shrimp ravioli in lobster sauce. Sadly, it was very bland and lacked the "lobster" flavor in the thick sauce. The drinks were awesome. Totally recommend the drinks: Midnight in Italy and Fume Midnight in Italy was basically a very well served Manhattan. But it was gloriously served. Giant cube ice cube, really lovely rye whiskey and the perfect orange garnish that added to the senses as you sipped Fume arrived in a light fixture like glass box that you open to retrieve your drink. It's filled with smoke to add to the drink's experience. My hands smelled like smoke hours after the dinner. The drink was tasty. The grilled pineapple was tasty. But it was more showy than tasty. Baker brie was insanely delish. It was the best baked Brie I had. Perfectly balanced with the honey and pistachio. The iceberg wedge salad was as you would've expected. Decent sized Maybe we didn't ordered the dishes that they were most popular for so I was disappointed. Will have to come back and try another round. Especially for the drinks.

Scala Osteria is such a charming spot! From the moment you walk in, you can tell a lot of thought…read morewent into the design. I loved the open kitchen concept--you get to watch the chefs in action--and even the bathrooms have unique details that make the whole restaurant feel special. Everything we ordered was delicious. The special of the day was shishito peppers with a balsamic glaze, and they were absolutely incredible. Sweet, savory, and perfectly blistered--I could have ordered another plate just for myself. The calamari was another standout. It was light, crispy, and fresh with a delicate batter instead of the heavy coating you often find elsewhere. We also ordered the Pork Chop Milanese, which was a generous portion and easily shareable. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of my favorite dishes of the meal. The Ravioli al Limone was rich, creamy, and full of bright lemon flavor--definitely a must-order if you love fresh pasta. A few friends at our table have been on an Italian food kick lately and ordered the chicken, and it exceeded everyone's expectations. It was juicy, well-seasoned, and definitely not an afterthought on the menu. And of course, the pizza was a huge hit with the kids. It's always nice when a restaurant can make both the adults and little ones happy. The cocktails were just as impressive as the food--beautifully crafted, refreshing, and every drink we ordered was excellent. We dined with kids, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, seating us in a comfortable corner that made the experience much more relaxing. The service throughout the evening was warm, attentive, and never rushed. Between the inviting atmosphere, fantastic food, great drinks, and thoughtful service, Scala Osteria absolutely earns 5 stars. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend!

Knocked off a star due to the coffee mix up at the end. Someone ordered a double espresso, and…read moresomeone ordered the caffè corretto, with a grappa kiss. When we asked, the waitress mentioned the espresso is poured on top of a grapevine? Anyways, when my friends were served they were given the wrong drinks. After they both tasted the drinks, the one who ordered the double espresso quickly realized what happened. Once the person who got her correct drink tried the greppa kiss, she was completely taken aback! There's alcohol in it, which isnt depicted on the menu at all and the waitress didn't mention this either until we asked. She should have mentioned there's alcohol as we had to drive back. As for the food, I couldn't choose between the gluten free cacio e pepe and the polenta so I got both. They're both very delicious and cheesy. The vegetable ragu was alright

Delicious tender ribs -- not overly sweet. Great curly fries. Loved the soft serve ice cream too…read more Even though this place is counter service, the employees are really attentive and positive. They will come by and take your tray when you're done and are very pleasant about it. I also loved that they have a sink right there to wash your greasy hands after you finished eating.
