LaScala's Fire Villanova

"Food was about average. I had the Italian Sausage bolognese and there was way too much sauce. Server was nice, but could tell he was new. Our party of 4 just sat down and he said “I know you just sat down, but I can get you drinks?” Getting a drink menu first would’ve been a help, given this was our first time there. Restaurant was crowded (which isn’t a bad thing for them) just a little too loud for my liking."

"Salty, salty, salty!!!! The chicken parm is like pure salt! The tomato sauce was over concentrated and salty like what you find at cheap restaurants that buy the sauce in bulk."

"Food and service are 5 stars. Noise level is oppressive. Summer is best so you can sit outside and actually have a conversation without screaming. Their portions are good enough for 2 meals. Fried calamari is my favorite or anything with seafood is as good as anything I have tasted in my many trips to Italy from Milan to Sicily. Salads are presented beautifully, as is soup and any appetizers. Staff is trained well and offers their thoughts on certain items. They are well versed in food allergies. Great place for large groups unless you are a small group sitting next to them."

"Water glass had lipstick on it. Plate was also dirty. Service is good. Food is very good. For the cost @ $120 for two people for a lunch and 2 drinks I can't see going back after being grossed out by the dirty plates and glasses. Also I did notice they had a pretty good whiskey selection including Jefferson Ocean. So pros and cons on this review."

"Came here for happy hour on the patio, it was busy but we got a table right away. Good happy hour deals, my favorite is the Fiero spritz! We ordered the ricotta board from the happy hour menu then the calamari and brussels from the regular menu. Everything was good, but didn’t blow us away and the portions were so large it felt like they were compensating quality for quantity. Also the brussel sprouts were doused in balsamic dressing, next time I will order dressing on the side"
