However you can take the ferry into Treib and walk about 45 minutes or you can drive. The drive has some narrow roads the last few kilometers and you must park about 1/2 km away from the restaurant. Nonetheless, it is worth it! The fish is fresh (probably caught within the last 12 hours). We had the mixed fish plate and it was wonderfully prepared. It was fresh tasting and fabulous for a mid afternoon meal. It wasn't heavy and left us feeling reenergized. Spectacular view from their outdoor patio as well! Bring cash and enjoy your afternoon.

Pizza perfecto!…read more Stopped in here for a quick late bite with my friend and the gentleman who greeted us was very kind and squeezed us into a packed house. We shared the calabreeze pizza and it was SO GOOD. Crust was crispy but not overcooked while the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. I will warn the pizza was a little spicy so if you are sensitive to that I'd maybe recommend one of their other delectable offerings. But highly recommend strolling over to la bestia for an incredible taste of authentic Italian tucked away in luzern!

The staff were super nice and helpful. The dining tables were fairly close to each other but it wasn't very full while we were there so it was okay. There was only two of us so we shared a pizza. We got the seasonal pizza with a leek puree base with octopus, pomegranate and sundried tomatoes. The combination probably sounds really strange but it was really really good. In fact, I loved having the leek puree instead of the more common tomato sauce and the bits of pomegranate gave it a hit of freshness when you ate one. Beware though, they do not believe in pineapples on pizza as you can see in one of the photos haha.

It was…read moreabout a 7 minute walk from our hotel and located on a quiet little section in the center of the old town. We highly recommend reservations because we tried to walk in the night before and nothing was available for one hour. We began our meal with Bruschetta which was very tasty. It was 4 slices of Italian bread covered in a delicious tasting oil, garlic, and chopped tomatoes. A nice start. My wife ordered the Spaghetti Aglio and I had the Spaghetti Bolognese. Both meals were tasty and cooked fresh. Portion sizes were respectable. The service was exceptional and our waiter spoke good enough English. The prices were very reasonable and cheaper than it would have been in the USA. This was a nice end to our trip in Lucerne. The restaurant appreciated our business and shook our hands twice when we left. It was worth the visit.

I ordered a glass of white wine that never came, but I decided to not fu on that. They took it off the bill and gave us some small chocolates at the end of the meal. Would go again.

I don't have issues with smells but if you have an aversion, you might want to avoid this place. We went on a chilly night and when we entered, it was SO HOT indoors, we opted to eat outside in the freezing cold because it was better than inside. I'm talking like standing in front of an open oven. I don't know how all the other patrons sat there through dinner. Truly amazing. When/if ordering the fondu, it only comes with bread squares. Order a small side of meat to supplement with that dish. Other than those tips, their by-the-glass menu was pretty great but they were very small pours. Be aware of that. And of course, like everything else in Switzerland, brace yourself for the tab. It's going to be a lot.

We were traveling to Switzerland to celebrate my friend's birthday, so I wanted to make sure that on the day of his birthday, we had a nice meal to celebrate, and Scala didn't disappoint! The restaurant is located in the Art Deco Hotel Montana. I made a reservation on their website a couple weeks in advance with the note that we were celebrating a birthday, so they gave us one of the best tables with a view by the window. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with impeccable service, from the coat check to letting us try the house wine before committing to the complimentary birthday dessert. It was the best service by far that we received at any restaurant during our trip. The meal started off with a delicious complimentary baguette, paired with regular butter and curry butter. The baguette was super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and both butters were fantastic. We also each got a glass of their house wine for $10.50 each. Both the red and white house wines were delicious. One of the reasons I chose Scala is because the menu is very vegetarian friendly. There were multiple options for my friend. We had a large lunch and weren't super hungry, so we shared one appetizer and each ordered an entrée. The tomato carpaccio ($28) was delicious when paired with the fried burrata. My entrée was the braised veal cheeks ($56 for a large portion), which ended up being one of the best braised meat dishes I've ever had. The veal cheeks were super tender and flavorful in every bite and went well with the saffron risotto and spinach that comes with it. It was a HUGE piece of meat, and by the end I was struggling to finish, but I managed with lots of breaks. My friend got the burrata lime ravioli ($44) and said it was the best ravioli he's ever had. I tried a bite and I had to agree, it was pretty flavorful and amazing. We were completely stuffed but still wanted to end the meal on a sweet note, so we each got a scoop of their sorbet. I got the strawberry and he got the mango-passion fruit, and as you'd expect, both were on point with their flavors and were exactly what we were looking for in terms of a light dessert. They also came by and presented us with a complimentary birthday cake and candle, which was a pleasant surprise. Halfway through the evening, a pianist came and started playing the piano, so the meal here felt like such a classy and elegant affair. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion!

There is a cute small funicular that takes you from the bottom of the street too. We didn't have a reservation when visiting, but our party of four was offered bar seating which we accepted graciously. VIBE AND AMBIANCE The ambiance is really nice, service is top tier (polite, efficient, friendly) and there was a live pianist playing on a weekday evening. There's views of lake Lucerne behind the windows, and the bar is extensively set up and seating on couches or bar seats or smaller table tops are all options. FOOD AND DRINK The menu is smaller but includes pasta, salad, mains, and an extensive drink list. We enjoyed aperitifs including red vermouth and sparkling wine. Food is excellent. The BEEF TARTARE comes in two sizes and also comes with a good portion of toasted bread on the side, with an option to adjust the spice level to taste. There was finely minced onions on one side And a shower of small sprouts on top. The PASTA WITH PESTO was a generous portion and delicious. The STEAK FILET was cooked medium as ordered, and served with an herb butter and roasted vegetables. All were seasoned wonderfully. The salad of the day was also excellent. The house red wine was fragrant, and the rose selection was good as well. SERVICE We never felt rushed at all, and service was polite and friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would love to come back for dinner in the restaurant itself sometime. Reservations recommended as it seems like this is a popular place. Wonderful! Recommended for groups for dinner or bar or drink, in a beautiful setting with live music and friendly service.
