Smart leather-and-wood booths, an extravagant mural along one wall, and an appealing menu of Italian dishes make this one of downtown's most attractive destinations. A large open kitchen stands at the rear of the fashionable dining room, where regulars and out-of-towners alike sit down to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Grilled octopus on fingerling potatoes and spaghetti carbonara are among the savory choices, and lovers of cream, chocolate, and calories will want to try Bostini, Scala's signature dessert.
