LA SCALA RESTAURANT – Italian
A dozen or so tables on Crandon Boulevard, dinner only, and a kitchen that cooks classic Italian without hedging. Ossobuco comes out rich and long-braised; pappardelle arrives under mushrooms and truffle; pumpkin ravioli turns up when the season allows. Bread and desserts are made in house. The menu shifts with what is good rather than what is expected. Diners return for the veal parmigiana and the caprese, and they talk about the staff as much as the food - unhurried, genuinely fluent in the wine list. Small room, old-world manners, no fuss.
