Not worth the headaches
by Tatiana at Citysearch
Where to begin?
Prices are on the high side, especially considering this is in one of the most crime-ridden neighborhoods on the South Shore.
Food is so-so at best. My veal was tough. The Marsala sauce was sickeningly sweet and heavy. And bread was of the Chinese restaurant variety, not something one would expect at an Italian eatery.
We were there on a recent week day night. Despite the fact that there was room to spread people out, we literally had people on top of us, listening to and attempting to get involved in our conversations. Not pleasant.
And don't get me started on the no credit card thing. Really folks, it's the 21st century and few people carry around the cash needed to feed a family of four at this place.
Finally, even a very slight requests to modify one of dishes was flatly denied. The waitress was apologetic and agreed that our request was reasonable, but apparently the owner also does the cooking and he doesn't like to deviate from the way he likes things done. Take it or leave it! Thanks, but we'll be leaving it.

Decent food but poor customer service
by agiovanello at Citysearch
Recently, I attended a rehearsal dinner at LaScala. There was buffet that was good but they did not refill it so many were left without full bellies. The waitress actually told one person they could not have any more veal b/c they had already had one piece! There was also not enough staff working the room and the bread, drinks were difficult to come by. Stingy for a buffet, not a great atmosphere for function. If you are hosting guests, look somewhere else.

Best Bread Pudding
by cdarling22 at Citysearch
Family style italian restaurant just south of Boston. Food portions are huge and very well made. Home made salad dressings and sauces are very good. RECOMENDATION have the Bread Pudding, best I have ever had. Huge and very moist with a nice caramel sauce.
If your ever in the area I would definitely recommend this place. great food for low prices.
- Pros: great food, low prices
