Where to Eat
3. La Scala Ristorante and Pizzeria
La Scala was established by a Sicilian immigrant (aged just 21) back in 1974. Nunzio Cusumano was soon famous for his fantastic pizza pies which you can still savor in the restaurant today. Since those early days the restaurant has morphed from a humble pizzeria to a sophisticated full-service Italian restaurant which still serves pizza and offers off-site catering. The menu features a really wide variety of specialty pizzas and calzones, alongside multiple seafood, chicken and veal entrees. Pasta dishes are varied and flavorsome and you can choose your preferred type of pasta including gluten-free and whole-wheat versions. Soups, salads and great antipasto plates complete the picture.
