La scala was an all around great experience! They had plenty of gluten free options & everything was delicious! The staff was friendly & although they were busy, they spent time at your table, making you feel that you were the most important! Thank you for a great meal ! Best food since we arrived in the UK

The general vibe of the restaurant is lovely, well decorated and modern. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The food itself was very nice and one of the better Italian meals I’ve ever had! The black pudding starter was so tasty and would absolutely recommend that! Cannot believe we’ve lived round the corner since it opened and have never been! Will absolutely be back again 🍕🇮🇹🍝

Always an amazing experience here! The staff are so attentive and friendly, even when they’re run off their feet - which is usually the case because it’s always so busy. The food is fantastic and came very quick when we were there last, despite them having 2 lots of big groups in. I recommend this place to everyone.

We have been here a few years ago and the restaurant was ok. Went on the 4th July 2024 and it was amazing. Got there in time for the early bird menu. Calamari, meatballs, calzone and cheese cake. Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere made our anniversary special. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit. P.S this is the best Italian restaurant in Rochdale.

5 of us had booked the new Gino D'Campo restaurant in Manchester around the back of Deansgate Locks. The day before, they contacted us to say they weren't actually Ginos yet and had a reduced menu, comprising a tin of beans, an artichoke and 2 lemons. Felt like it anyway. So, looking for somewhere closer to home and different to the usual, we chanced upon La Scala. Ooh, not been for years (in fact the last time was during a blizzard in the early 2010s). No idea why we hadn't ventured back but needs must this time. Well, from the entrance we were treated like royalty; very friendly staff and very entertaining. Loads of choice on the menu and full bellies all round. Dessert was nearly passed on, but old greedy guts (me) decided that at least 2 of us would share a cheesecake. In summary, absolutely superb and will now be a destination of choice rather than need.

My wife, Jen, and I have just returned from a car trip through England. At one point we stopped for the evening in Rochdale, intending to get to Liverpool early the next day. We figured we'd find some perfectly fine -- and ordinary -- restaurant for dinner, so we asked the host of our hotel. She had only one recommendation: La Scala. So we made the ten-minute drive to what seemed to be a very business-oriented part of town.The word "ordinary" played no part in our meal that evening. We were waited on by a lovely waiter, Grace, and both our appetizers and main courses were as good as we'd find in any top-rated Italian restaurant in New York City -- at incredibly reasonable prices, I should add.We also had a chance to chat with Mauricio, the manager. Though it was an incredibly busy evening at La Scala, he made sure to take some time and ensure that everything was to our liking. And as a result of our conversation that evening, my wife and I are now planning a trip to Sicily, Mauricio's original home.It was a truly pleasant surprise to find such an elegant and rewarding restaurant experience when we weren't expecting it. La Scala is worth searching out when you're anywhere in the general vicinity of Rochdale.

I had a few issues with our experience here. Firstly: The waiting times. We spent 3 hours in total here! It felt like we were waiting an eternity to get seated, then for our order to be even taken. Then it was 45 mins for the garlic bread to even come out let alone the main and desert! We had plans for later in the evening as our guests had travelled up to see us but we all ended up going to bed once we got home we had been out so long!Secondly: Poor vegetarian options. On the whole menu there are 4 options from two pages for veggies and they are very unimaginative! There's margarita pizza, "pizza vegetariano" which is just described as a pizza with "seasonal vegetables" not exactly inspiring! Why not make something like mushroom, onion and chilly or even at least describe what is actually on it. The others are "penne vegetariano" again, penne with seasonal vegetables and tomato sauce! It just seems like an afterthought and is very disappointing. I mean, how is that even going to come? It sounds like I'm going to get pasta with carrots and broccoli!! Then there is the spinach and ricotta ravioli, the only real choice given the other options! Thirdly: Portion size. Which brings me to my third disappointment. Portion size! Whilst everyone else seemed to get a good portion those of use who ordered the spinach and ricotta ravioli got a tiny serving and finished way before everyone else... still hungry! It's almost like the only have a small amount of the one decent veggie option and they have to ration it out!However! Once the spinach and ricotta ravioli did come, it was nice and I did wish there was more of it or it at least came with its own serving of garlic bread. Desert menu was a little uninspiring but the creme brulee was nice.

Booked the table the week before for a Saturday evening arrived 10 minutes before and was shown to table. Ordered a bottle of wine and shortly afterwards we ordered our meals consisting of starters and mains each. It was very busy and lively so far so good. Then we waited and waited and waited. Finally starters arrived by which time we’d finished the bottle of wine and we didn’t guzzle it trust me! The garlic and tomato bread was just tomato bread, garlic mushrooms was just a plate of mushrooms no garlic, tasteless and the spicy meatballs starter were tasteless, no seasoning, very bland to say the least for everything. Plates were taken so we ordered another bottle of wine thinking our main meals would be following soon......we waited and we waited until a waitress came and asked if we wanted dessert!! We said we haven’t had our main meals yet!! No apologies or attention was given to us until at 9.35 YES almost TWO HOURS after we walked in we still hadn’t been served our main meal. The waiter was signalled and we said we will pay for what we have had but we are going. We said what we had had was extremely bland and the service was beyond terrible. No apology was offered in fact the waiter was very argumentative and in no way offered any explanation. I have never in my life had such an extremely bad experience in a restaurant before as this. It was busy yes but we had booked the week before and we were paying customers it’s no excuse. The waiters were paying more attention it seemed to me to the bigger parties. While we were waiting for such a long time the party at the next table left and the staff brought more chairs round that table and without any exaggeration one of the high backed extra chairs was put right against me so I was totally boxed in and couldn’t get out. The guy who eventually sat down in that chair was very apologetic but it wasn’t his fault. It was the worst eating out experience which is very disappointing as we were very much looking forward to it for our first and definitely last visit.

My wife and I were looking forward to our first visit to La Scala after hearing good reports from our son. He'd advised us to book to ensure a table, so I did so a week in advance. We arrived at 7.50pm and were promptly shown to a table tucked away in a corner. There was a very lively and loud atmosphere, which was understandable as it was fairly busy - no problem with that. We ordered a bottle of wine and waited some time for a waiter to return and take our order for starters. When they eventually arrived they were a huge disappointment taste-wise. Garlic mushrooms were particularly un-garlicy, spicy meatballs were bland and unseasoned and the garlic tomato bread was, well, tomato bread. A long wait followed until a waitress came to remove our plates and asked us if we'd like a dessert. We informed her we hadn't had our main course yet, but we might as well have another bottle of red while we waited. At 9.35 our main courses still hadn't arrived so we voiced our dissatisfaction at the service and quality of food, paid for what we'd consumed and left - all without an apology or explanation for the delay and no real attempt to calm our annoyance. Needless to say, neither of us will be visiting again. But if you're a fan of basic, overpriced, tasteless fayre set to a cacophonous backdrop - this is the place for you

Just back from dinner at La Scala and just had the loveliest meal. The thing that stood out the most for me however, was the staff and how adorable and attentive they are. Not just with my own kids, my partner and myself but there were two elderly couples on two different table at either side of us and the staff could not do enough to help them and engage with them which was so lovely and heart warming. Service and friendliness of staff is key to a successful restaurant and this establishment clearly goes the extra mile to look after all its customers. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Very disappointed with food out of four mains ordered only one up to standard and that was lasagne which is not difficult to make. Two pasta meals were specifically ordered to include king prawns which would be charged as extra - no problem until arrived with one prawn in one dish and two in the other - also the sauce was very thick. Complaint quietly made which resulted in a deduction in price of the king prawns (which weren't in the dish anyway) so not happy with the whole experience and will not visit or recommend this place - much better choices in our area.

Had a meal with a group of friends, handy rear parking and nice friendly welcome. Great atmosphere which may be a little loud for an intimate dinner for two. Not sure if it's usually noisy but we enjoyed the experience. Very good service, however the food was just ok. Everything seemed slightly bland, under seasoned and slightly over cooked (including pasta dishes), It's one of the few occasions in a restaurant where I've had to add salt and pepper. When we dine in a group we do tend to share so I tried a variety of dishes including Pizza which unfortunately was slightly soggy. We were in a largish group and the restaurant was full so maybe that accounts for the average food. Will give it a try as a couple.

Visited here a week ago, ordered garlic mushrooms as a starter, they had an unpleasant sour taste. For main course I had pasta with broccoli and chicken, this was terrible, the sauce was a floury bechamel with no flavour, worst pasta sauce I have ever eaten, I had to use copious amounts of black pepper and Parmesan to try to add a little flavour but it did nothing to improve the flavour. Chicken was hard and was not cooked with the pasta sauce. My sons carbonara was cold and my husbands pizza wasn’t great. Thankfully we had our own birthday cake to eat for dessert. Needless to say we will not be visiting again!

A few days ago I took a dozen friends here for a festive meal. I have been here many times before but not as host to a "party". It was an excellent evening all round. All my guests commented on how good the food was. My own garlic mushroom starter and steak main course were top notch. The staff are always pleasant and enthusiastic.

Great staff, great food. Nothing was too much trouble. We ate at 7 on a busy Saturday evening celebrating Grandma’s 83rd birthday. Service was very efficient and staff friendly and helpful despite being very busy. Plenty of staff were on so this certainly added to the efficiency.

Have visited several times, sometimes as a couple, other times as part of a family group. We have never been disappointed. Menu choice is varied and includes some Greek dishes..lovely!!. Staff are warm, friendly and work hard to accommodate customer needs. Nothing is too much trouble. Tables are well arranged and nicely furnished. Food always arrives piping hot, nicely presented and well cooked. Relaxed atmosphere, well managed and nicely organised restaurant.Parking to the rear is good although a little limited but parking is also available close by on the main road. Great for couples, families and large or small groups... a really great place.

It was a special occasion, we sat, I asked if they had Peroni, lass stated bottle or draught I asked which is cheaper, lass stated there is no difference, I wanted to know what was the difference so service started badly. I ordered the calamari as a starter, waited nearly 40 minutes and it looked under cooked, again not impressed. The main was the carbonara which seem to me as a starter small portion. So from this the motto of the story is don't have the calamari and don't have the carbonara, go for the pork pate and their pizzas if you want to leave full and happy. Would I go there again, probably yes to try something else and hopefully served better by someone else. but it would not as my first option. Also La Scala needs a website not a Facebook page.

Just come back from la scala on a very rare evening off with my wife .This was our first and last visit .We opted for the 2 course menu at a cost of £11.90 I had calamari to start, I got about 8 pieces I left 4 as it was very rubbery. My wife's had bruchetta this was just ok ,we also ordered a garlic bread to share- burnt on bottom so not eating! On to main course I had the chicken with mushrooms and cream this was horrible I could not eat it , this is one of my favourite dishes but definitely not here . My wife had pizza margarita very soggy and tasteless again not eating that either .My wife didn't want to make a fuss but why pay for inadeqate food when its money hard earned - I did complain to the manager- it was the worst chicken i've ever had and he just said I will take it of the bill ..... fine but he only then charged me £7.90 for the calamari which was part of the 2 course deal .... RIP OFF , not wanting to make a fuss i paid it to escape this place ! Service wasn't much better they show you to a table and leave you there there was 3 other tables in the place so not even busy I paid the bill and left i will never return to la scala , the food is absolutely dreadful the waiting on staff miserable and they are very unprofessional.

Went here for my sons 12th birthday and had a superb meal. My son had ribs then pizza then a complimentary birthday ice cream with the waiters singing Happy Birthday to him.My husband and I had a huge starter of Italian meats, cheeses, bread and salad followed by wild mushroom risotto for me and pasta for him. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. I always enjoy eating here and would definitely recommend it to people looking for an authentic high quality Italian meal.

Pleasant decor and lots of space between the tables. Starters of Black Pudding/Chorizo and Pate were fine. Main courses of sirloin in dolcelatte (very average but reasonably priced) and seafood pasta (reasonably priced but really bland). Always smile when you are asked if you liked a dish and when you say 'no it was bland' the waiter replies 'oh, I'll tell the Chef'.

My 8yr old son loved making his own pizza he was offered plenty of toppings and said it was the best pizza he's had, probably because he made it haha. Only knocked off a star as there was only one or 2 vegan/plant based options. I had the plant based meatballs and spaghetti £13.50 which turned out to be Richmond plant based sausages made in to meatballs, tomato sauce and spaghetti bit disappointing but it's something at least better than chips ha.

The setting is stunning, an old church turned restaurant, beautiful. The food was lovely as always, we had the ravioli to start which was different and tasty, it helps that starter portions are a thing with the pasta/risotto section of the menu. I had a fillet steak for my main meal, it was cooked beautifully - I thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Tiramisu for dessert topped the meal off. A lovely attentive team too!
