Absolutely amazing! Love this historic gem! Food is stunning! Staff and service are always looking for and anticipating what you may need . My favorite restaurant in Chicago. We just moved from Atlanta. It's a special place that probably is tied to a certain era that is hard to find and once you find it, you realize that there may not be any more of these left. Just go often and enjoy is my recommendation. Love it!

A true gem of a restaurant! We absolutely love the La Scarola. The service is always friendly and fast. They treat you like family here which is a rarity these days. Our food was out of this world. I had the special, halibut, and my husband had the veal chop. And although I asked for no salt in my dish, it was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is great too! Old school Italian all the way. Definitely give this classic a try!

What an experience. From the owner greeting you at the front door. Front of house was on point too with Making sure we had everything from wine to explaining different dishes and recommendations. My favorites was the grilled octopus appetizer and Veal Allá Gabe with vodka sauce. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Every single time I come to Chicago. This is my go to place! Make sure to make a reservation because this place is always packed.

The best Italian food my cute bf and I have had in a long time (maybe ever). Make a reservation before hand and if there is still a little wait, worth it. The owner had amazing hospitality and great sense of humor. We ordered the mussels and wish we ordered it twice. Got one of the specials and the rigatoni. So delish. Can’t wait to go again next time we are in Chicago!

Came to dinner with the family. Excellent. Classic and Traditional. Feels like home. The ambiance was great with an affluent clientele. The menu is superb. Quality in every category.

Hands down the BEST Italian in Chicago maybe even outside of Italy. Service is always prompt and warming. I highly recommend the meat lasagna and it can easily be shared so you can save room for tiramisu for desert or try two main courses between 2 people. If getting a second main I would recommend the chicken parmagiana. Can't go wrong. It's a very quaint and charming atmosphere and if you're lucky you'll run into a celebrity who is dining in. The hand written specials menu add a personal touch. I recommend reservations as it could be a long wait or worse it could be full. Plan ahead and it won't disappoint!

Calamari and sausage and peppers were outstanding but the highlight of the meal was the tiramisu. Easily the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. My main chicken entree was delicious but a lot more oily and rich than necessary, and everyone I dined with felt bad after the meal. The service was noticeably poor. at one point we tried to order a cannoli and the waiter refused because he had already closed us out and was too lazy to open a new tab. We were all shocked since we’ve never had a restaurant refuse to take our money before.

Food is tasty & well-seasoned, but the prices made no sense. Sooo expensive!! $72 for 2 people - just entrees, no drinks, no dessert, no appetizers! Definitely call for a reservation. The place fills up quickly.

Five stars to La Scarola Italian! My wife and I visited for dinner on Saturday and it’s everything and more. Armando is a wonder host who feels like family within minutes of meeting. The staff and atmosphere are second to none. The food… it should come with a warning label: Highly addictive! I had the lasagna that resembled a brick of melted cheese and sauce. It took me two days to eat it all! I believe it is the best Lasagna I’ve ever had in my life. Looking forward to going through the entire menu over the next few months! Thank you - Don Stuck
