A weeknight family dinner spot, recently renovated LaScala's (formerly Apollo pizza; same owners, more upscale venture) has a cozy, stone-and-wood atmosphere, big booths and chatty waitresses. Get the crispy calamari tossed with greens, chopped tomatoes, cukes and olives in a tangy vinaigrette to start, then share a few huge entrees, like the baked chicken and spinach cannelloni, veal involtini or well-received pizzas.

Review
La Scala has delicious Italian food in a restaurant that has that neighboorhood casual atmosphere. Servers are friendly and knowledgable. Kitchen is accomodating Vegetarian requests. Has both outdoor and indoor seating w/ great dinner music and good service. Only downside is that outdoor dining can sometimes be a little noisy w/ the Septa buses going by! Desserts are great too!
