LaScala's Fire

I went to LaScala's Fire with a couple of friends for an early dinner.Walking in the restaurant has a nice casual, but classy feel. There is a bar and plenty of overhead TVs showing sports, but the restaurant is well-lit, clean and has a nice ambiance.I ordered the tortellini for dinner. It was served in a cream sauce. I would say it was not the best tortellini that I have ever had, but it was still tasty and filling. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their food as well.Our waiter was kind and served the table quickly. He answered all of our questions, as well. Altogether, I would recommend LaScala's Fire if you are looking for a casual and tasty Italian meal in Philadelphia.

The environment and vibe of the restaurant is nice. Service was top notch! We sat at a booth with a window view.For starters I had the Meatball Trio and my girlfriend had the Tuscan Wings. They were delicious and I recommend them.The drink that I had was Best Friend's Margarita. It was nasty. I returned it and ordered Bird Is The Word. That drink was .My girl had the Chicken Parmigiano pizza and I had the Chicken San Remo.The food was delicious! I recommend this location. You'll enjoy yourself

Found this place on the internet and have to say that the place is stylish, not too loud. You can choose where you want to sit. The waitress was very attentive. The food came very warm and in a time of may be 5 minutes we had all 4 dishes. Below please see the rating for our dishes - all dishes were nicely prepared and a very good size:Alicia's Sunday dinner (4/5) - was ready good, but just had it better in Auckland, that's why 4 Stars;Vegetarian Red Sauce Pizza (5/5) - very tasty with a variety of vegetables. Tasty dough!Lemon crab and shrimp (5/5) - Very tasty sauce, a lot of shrimp and crab;Pasta and Peas (4/5) - was too spicy, but otherwise very good;Average food rating (4.5/5)I will definitely come again when I am in town.

I'd heard this place many times before but never been. So I decided to give it a try when my parents came to the city to visit. Ended up being a really good option for a Friday night dinner.I made a reservation to be on the safe side, so we were seated immediately when we arrived. The hostesses and our waitress were all very friendly, polite and service oriented. The vibe was pretty nice with the white tables, darker grey booths and mood lighting based on what part of the restaurant you're in. And the place is very clean, including the bathrooms (always a real test on the cleanliness for me is how the bathroom looks). We all enjoyed our dining experience, from the service of our waiter to the actual look, portion size and taste of the food. We ordered a few things to share: Calamari Fritti, Sicilian Salad (no pepperoni) and the Three Cheese Piatta Bread. Those were great portions for sharing and honestly kind of filling. We each ordered entrees: mom got the Grilled Salmon, dad ordered the Chicken Marsala and I ordered the Rigatoni Vodka with Crab & Shrimp added in (no pancetta). My dish was delicious! Very rich but not too rich, tasty and very large portions again - I took most of it home. Though we were all full, we couldn't leave without dessert lol. So my dad got an espresso, while my mom & I split the Triple Chocolate Cake. It was sooo decadent and rich, but good. I'm not sure if I would've been able to eat by myself given all we ate before that, so I'm glad we split it.Overall, a really great experience and good food and reasonable prices. My parents enjoyed it and I would definitely go back again. Give it a try!

In the words of the awesome Clint Eastwood, let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. The Bad: the service is horrible. Food comes out at different speeds, appetizers one at a time, entrees before the salads, and one pizza 30 minutes after all the other food and when we were almost done. The drink refills are so slow and it was rare that our waitress came to check on us. The bus boys reached in between us while we were eating to grab dirty plates and before I even had the time to wipe off my extra sauce with my bread! The Ugly: most of the patrons were seated in a central section which made it feel cramped. The music was so loud it was hard for us talk. Food was served without serving utensils and some cold. The dirty plates were removed faster than Houdini can say Abra Cadabra and were not replaced for the next course. The prices were high for what we all thought it was worth. The restaurant offers free parking in the lot above. When we asked to validate our ticket our waitress said we didn't need to get it validated as it was Sunday. Thank goodness I insisted because you absolutely have to have it validated or you will pay a hefty price to park. Our waitress spent a lot of the time on her cell phone so maybe she was just distracted...wonderful! (said sarcastically). The Good: Food was decent to very good. We ordered wild Mushroom Arancini, Crispy Parmigiano Artichokes, Four Cheese Max and Cheese, Caesar Salad, Three Cheese Piatta, Rigatoni Vodka, Eggplant Parmigiano, Burrata Pizza, Vegetarian Pie, Grandmas Pie, Limoncello Cake, LaScala Sundae and Lemon Sorbet. All and all I'd order each of these dishes again. The Max and Cheese was a standout as was the Rigatoni Vodka. The artichokes a bit sweet and my table had mixed feelings about the Arancini-some liked it, others thought it not cheesy enough. The pizzas were good. The best ever? Nah, but still good. The Caesar salad was mixed well with a dressing that had a slight anchovy flavoring. The eggplant was good, the linguini that it came with was awesome and if I ever returned here I would get a separate plate as a stand alone! The desserts were fair. Not impressive, a bit small but it did quench our sweet tooth from the carb load up we just had. All in all I loved my company and the food was good. Rushing back here, nope, but if I ended up here I wouldn't be devastated.

Fire is perfect!! Lots of food. Great for large groups. Had the Burratta delicioso! The Lemon Crab & Shrimp Linguini belisimo! And for dessert the Lemoncello cake. The best I've ever had! Totally worth it and he Gimlit with Gin! Great service as well! Way to go Chloe!

Lovely restaurant! Picked this place for dinner because it had good reviews and I am so glad I did!The restaurant has a very nice, clean, modern interior with a bar. All the staff that I interacted with was very kind and helpful. They have a great size menu with plenty of options and variety. I ordered the angel hair pasta with lobster and it was delicious!! My friend got the prosciutto and fig pizza and really enjoyed it as well. They also had amazing cocktails!Within walking distance of a lot of tourist destinations around the area.

Another amazing dinner in Philly! My sister and I popped into this cute vintage restaurant near closing but we were seated and our server took amazing care of us. We started with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, a staple. These were to die for! Dinner was delicious, you can never go wrong with Vodka sauce. Finished the night with an espresso martini were was the perfect finale of a great dinner!

Great restaurant for any day. The place is beautiful and clean and the service was swift with very friendly servers. Ours was Ibrahim, who was extremely professional and a great conversationalist. The food was amazing and will definitely be going back. Food aside, but a good server will keep customers coming back!
