About this business

La Scarola is your West Loop go to for a classic Italian meal. The pasta is homemade, as are the soups; the meat preparations stand out too. The restaurant is packed most nights and the atmosphere is dynamic and lively; the noise levels can get a bit loud, though not enough to really be an issue.

The food and service is everything it should be in an authentic Italian Restaurant. Hard to get in on weekends, heck even on a week night. It is a small restaurant and they take no reservations. Totally worth the weight though. Be prepared for fresh food and hearty portions. Such a fun old time Chicago neighborhood restaurant. Just about every celebrity that you can think of has dined there. We will be back in a couple of months. We will see you then Armando. We loved meeting you! ���

An authentic small Italian joint.. delicious and generously portioned.Reasonably priced wines as well. Greated at the door by the entertaining Chef Armando himself. The place was packed so early reservations are a must. Mangia!!!
