Besides being nearly the only decent restaurant in Brigantine and having an active and busy beach bar, La Scala's has good food and great staff. Sofia, our server, went out of her way to make my wife and I comfortable. Great place to spend time. read more

The place was packed as it always is, not a problem we only waited 10 minutes for a table. The food was very good and the menu is quite varied from apps, pizzas, sushi, pasta. We sampled them all. Drinks were good and well prepared. For being so large the sound level was high but not too bad. The only negative was that several of our dinners came out 10-15 minutes late. Our waitress was superb even though she was very busy she made a point to check on us. Not a bad experience if you know what to expect read more

My girlfriend and I are both 24 years old. We had dinner, each had five drinks, paid our $200+ bill, and stayed at our table to enjoy the live band. Out of nowhere, security came over, asked for our IDs, claimed my girlfriend's valid ID was fake, and immediately kicked us out. If they truly believed her ID was fake, it should have been checked before serving us multiple alcoholic drinks, not after taking our money. The entire situation was handled poorly and was extremely frustrating. We won't be coming back. read more

Looked for a nice place for a quick dinner in Brigantine, NJ. Found LaScalas which had some good reviews so we tried there. The restaurant looked recently remodeled with white granite countertops and tables, nice looking. Our waitress was very friendly. She took our drink order and brought them back quickly. I ordered a double gin and tonic, which is my summer drink of choice. Then ordered an app of Calamari and a Margarita pizza. The calamari was excellently prepared and delicious. The pizza was over cooked and served cold. I had one slice and that was it. Then the bill came, I was charged $21 for the drink. Wow, very disappointed. Not recommending this place or coming back. read more

Have been here many times since you opened, nice that more outside picnic tables were added but there is no coverage from the seagulls not only eating your food but pooping on your table , wait staff always very helpful but wait staff confused as to we're the food goes, food is good menu never changes read more

Ended up being here for 3.5 hours when it should've been a 1.5 hour dinner. Food and atmosphere was decent but the service was genuinely horrible. Food came out in all sorts of random order: dinners coming out before the appetizers. I ordered the chicken cutlet vodka rigatoni and it took me over one hour to get it. It took so long they ended up bringing TWO dishes out because of a complete and utter disaster management is. Server disappeared throughout the night and couldn't get a class of water or my food. Waitress was rude and frankly did not care. Do not waste your time here there are plenty of other places with better service. read more

Cool vibes, weirdly great live music, dog friendly.... much to love. In a weekend spent on the deck of a beach house, it takes a lot for us to venture away from comfy paradise. But a beach bar? Where we can bring the pup? And get drinks and food? Okay fine you convinced me. We put our name down for a table (on a Saturday night for a table for 5 we were looking at an hour and a half +) and made our way to the beach patio for some drinks. After a round of spicy margaritas I took in the crowd. Literally all ages. Kids dancing to the band, adults vibing with their families, 20 somethings there with friends. A spot for all. After a bit of a wait we got a great spot and put an order in for A LOT of food: -LaScala Fries (crab meat and bacon) -Truffle Fries - a classic Caesar salad & a crab Caesar -one of the pizzas -a shrimp dish -a maki roll Lots of good food and it actually was pretty decent for a spot so crazy busy. If you are looking for a fun vibe (so, not a quiet dinner) this is a cool spot that I think you should check out. read more

Only went for drinks while taking a break from the beach. I will definitely ho back to check out the food. Service was slow, it was crowded. They had a nice band playing. I ordered the loretta lemonade which is like a limoncello spritz. I ordered a club soda, it never came and I was charged for it ‍‍‍ read more

Food was good however the outside atmosphere was horrific . Part enclosed with Tarps and cross string to deter Segalls the added picnic table and seating was difficult to eat. Meals though came cover for take out Seagulls flocked to the tables. I would think with adding table overhead covering would have been a huge consideration . Very un appetizing have Seagulls due their business on tables whole eating . read more

Just off the afternoon vibe is so cool. Amazing views or the beach and ocean. Waitress was Adriana and she was great!! Always checking and making sure our waters were full on a hot summer afternoon. Wife started with frozen espresso martini and she loved it. Apps meatballs which were excellent! LaSclala Fries with bacon, crabmeat. Also very good. SPICY TUNA TARTARE was fresh and spicy. We really enjoyed this!! Alicia Poke bowl was the best thing we had. All fresh Tuna; Salmon and more spicy tuna. Have to say this place is definitely a 10!! read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday around 6 pm to eat and enjoy the live music. Had no idea what to expect - the place was a zoo when we arrived. Valet parking was nuts, the line to put our names in for a table with an outdoor hostess was long and slow. This place reminds me of Bar A but on steroids and fancier. We got a drink at the inside bar since the outdoor bar was too crowded & rowdy. Service was slow and inattentive at the inside bar. The pineapple crush was so sweet. We moved outside when the band started and eventually got seated at our table. Tried the tuscan wings, the pickle spears and a pizza. The pickle spears were really good. The tuscan wings sucked - dry / overcooked. The vodka meat lovers pizza was average - about what you'd expect from a joint like this. Our server was really good though - one major plus from the evening. The band was pretty terrible. Each set got gradually worse and shorter. I think they were on break more than they played. All in all, this is a great spot for people watching and overpriced food and sugary drinks. I feel bad for the residents who own beach houses in this neighborhood - its way too crowded of a place and loud. I would hate to have this place near my beach home. read more

Fun place for drinks and dancing, but the food is mediocre at best! Ambiance & Service: The outdoor seating area is spacious and right on the beach! We waited over an hour for a table for two, but the bar and lounge area kept us occupied. Our server was friendly, and the food arrived quickly. Food & Drink: - Spicy Margarita: A typical spicy marg--would order again! - Rigatoni Vodka: Just okay. The sauce was bland, though the pasta was cooked well. - Truffle Fries: Fries were a good size, but lacked any truffle flavor. TL;DR: Great for drinks and dancing, but don't expect much from the food. read more

The only reason I am providing anything above a 1 star rating, is because the food was amazing. The whipped ricotta is a MUST. My entree was angel hair with crab meat and red sauce. It came out piping hot and was filling and delicious. The restaurant was loud and crowded for a Friday night, we had to wait to be seated but there is an outside bar with live music which helped pass the time. The real issue came at the end of the night. We migrated to the bar and ordered drinks with one of the bartenders. She ended up clocking out, which closed out our tab automatically adding gratuity WITHOUT informing our group. The remaining bartenders were extremely rude when we asked questions. It escalated to a "Manager" getting involved. His name was Alex, he was completely unprofessional, dropping swear words at myself and those in my party, gave us attitude for requesting a refund for incorrect charges on our pay check and then when we finally wrapped everything up walked over to a group of employees by the door talking crap about our group as we walked past to leave. If you want to tack on extra fees, they should be clearly spelled out or at the very least communicated to all patrons. If your bartenders clock out at the end of a shift they should notify all of their parties, not arbitrarily charge fees on their own. Safe to say, we will not be returning to LaScala's. read more

Enjoyed drinks and dinner with friends in Brigantine at LaScala's Beach House. They're a family-owned chain with restaurants in NJ and PA. First time I dined at this spot since they purchased it and gave it a total makeover. Huge improvement in look and feel, and increase in seats. This really matters at a shore spot. Nicely done. Jumping atmosphere. Good music. Server Savannah was attentive and not intrusive. We ordered several apps to share: Caesar salad, ricotta jar, meatballs, and margarita pizza. I'd recommend all of them. Interested in trying new dishes next time. Yes, I'll be back. read more

This place has ALL of the beach vibes. They usually have a good band playing on the weekends and it can get crowded here but it's a fun place to be on the beach. Drinks can get pricey (17 dollar cocktails) but expecting cheap well- drinks in a place with multiple bars, (outside and inside) beautiful views and live music isn't realistic so come knowing you'll be paying for all of that. I've been here a couple of times, but this time we ordered a panini, cheesesteak egg-rolls, caesar salad and truffle fries. We ordered a variety of cocktails and a couple with floaters (5 dollars extra). The food was good! Especially the truffle fries! Panini included prosciutto and tasted fresh. If you want summertime-beach-feels, this is the place. Service has always been good and drinks are well made! read more

Spending the day at the beach. Walked in the make a reservation for later that day for about 20 ppl (they don't take reservations) there were two young girls at the front desk that were so nice and sweet and accommodating. However, when I asked to use the restroom (clearly not homeless) the older woman (who I believe was a manager) she had short blondish grey hair was so incredibly rude and condescending. Would not let me use the bathroom unless I bought food to go. Such a terrible introduction. I did buy fries. Used the restroom and proceeded to spend money there the rest of the day. However, if there was any other option at the point I wouldn't have gone back because she was so nasty. As the day went on everyone else working there was amazing. The food amazing. The space amazing. Having that woman at reception is not the best introduction to such a great place. read more

absolutely love LaScala's Beach House--it's hands down my favorite spot to go in the summer. The atmosphere is unbeatable, with beautiful views that instantly make you feel relaxed and on vacation.

I can't recommend it enough! read more

We ate here Fourth of July. We were seated by a friendly hostess and given a high chair right away. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. The live music was so enjoyable and the food was AMAZING. The seafood fra diavolo was incredible. The chicken parmigiana pizza was crisp and delicious. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was among the best Brussels I've had- a smoky flavor that was not overcome by the bacon. While I loved eating inside the modern beachy restaurant, I hope to return and eat outside on the beach. read more

What they were able to do with this space is absolutely Outstanding!! Bravo!! The outside is STUNNING. Comfy furniture, huge bar, lots of seating right in the sand and a large stage. The upgrade was much needed and I'd say they aced it. The inside is also spectacular with the huge bar and omg individual restrooms that were so sparkly clean! Our server Kylie was friendly and efficient. She was super and explained the menu to us. We appreciated she told us portions were large - we were there for lunch and ended up splitting two things and still took leftovers home. The lascala fries were out of control delicious. Crispy fries covered in yummy cheese sauce, bacon, peppers and so much fresh crab!! It would be the perfect appetizer for 4-6 people easily. It was seriously so good we definitely recommend this as a must have if you like fries!! We then had the lascalas favorite panini which was fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula and olive oil. It comes with prosciutto but we asked them to remove. It was HUGE. My goodness was it large. It comes with fries but we were able to substitute for a salad since we already got the lascala fries appetizer. It was delicious - basically a whole loaf of bread. The bartenders were also awesome and made me a delicious non alcoholic margarita. My mom enjoyed her house margarita. We can't wait to come back!! read more

Location is outstanding - the outdoor seating and bar provide you with top notch views of the ocean and beach and your close enough to hear the surf. Unfortunately there was a wedding party there and the outdoor space was closed. Bummer! Inside revealed an extremely busy restaurant and the wait was 20 minutes- we were pleasantly surprised when I got the text after 15 minutes to be seated. Awesome! Then were so busy I had to bully my way to the counter and grab staffs attention- not cool. I was ignored until I had to get slightly rude. But, oh well. We were sat and promptly greeted by a pleasant server. The server informed us that the kitchen in this restaurant is "free flowing", meaning that our food would come out when it's ready as opposed to all together. That is a major pet peeve for me and I wasn't happy about it. Wife ordered a pizza so I felt compelled to order the same so we could eat together. Kiddos had chicken fingers and French fries. The kids meals came super quick which I didn't mind because they eat at a sloths pace and I hate waiting for them when I'm done. Our pizzas came a while later and we're pretty delicious. $17/per 10" pie was kinda steep, but were in a tourist location so whatever. At least the pizzas came together. Water was served in plastic cups which I didn't like - too much waste. Waitress checked back 1 x - she was pretty good. They had a gigantic bar which was slamming packed. Extremely noisy! There was a baseball game on and at certain points they would all hoot and holler to the point where I couldn't hear my talking next to me. Bummer. All in all it was a meh experience. Had I been able to sit outside I would have added a star, but stuck inside by the bar and putting up with the noise was a major downer for me. What can I say - it wasn't terrible, but I'm in no rush to return... read more

Lascalas has a lot of potential. The interior is not open, only the patio There are 2 bars outside and many dining tables on the patio. There are picnic tables, couches and chairs in the sand. Service is very good and the current menu is limited. The location is outstanding with ocean front views. Live music and DJ is on many days of the week. The issue is with the horse flies, mosquitoes and other flying insects which seem to encompass all of Brigantine. I am not sure if they can use the propane insect killer, bug zappers but something should be done. Right now there are Porto potties outside for use which is a bit of a turn off. I wish them good luck as all the folks I encountered were very nice. read more

Want to feel like you're at the Florida Keys, then give LaScala's Beach House a try. Located a few minutes away from Atlantic City Boardwalk this beachfront property is a great alternative to enjoy the ocean breeze while eating great food. Menu was a mix from pizza to sushi. The ricotta platter was a great way to start off the lunch followed by the cooked poke bowl. Great presentation and ingredients; this is a place I am definitely coming back. There's a stage so I imagine live entertainment during the weekends. Valet parking is available. read more

LaScala's Beach House -- This place is terribly overrated, WOOF!!! Here's a snapshot of our poorly spent $100 experience for dinner and drinks for two: 1. The majority of the demographic was teenage girls 2. The music was too loud (both the DJ and the live band): Don't come here to chat with your S.O. for your anniversary dinner like we did! We mostly stared blankly at each other like "WTF did we sign up for?". 3. We got our food within 7 minutes of ordering, but we hadn't gotten our drinks and NO utensils. I had the chase down the host for help with that. Our food was cold by the time anyone could hook us up with the basics. 4. The food: I had the "Spicy Tuna", which turned out to be a salad -- this should have been under the "salad" portion of the menu, not "favorites". This was NOT EVEN REMOTELY SPICY. The tuna was done as it should be, but that's all I can really praise them about. The balsamic was the main taste. It was plated as a big 90s style tower pile of ingredients. It was fine; pedestrian. Really not what it said it was on the menu. I wanted to order the eggplant parm but the waiter said it wasn't good. We probably should have left at that point, or maybe we should have left when we heard the table behind us say "Send it back! This is terrible!". 5. We were staying at the hotel the restaurant is based out of and these assholes blasted music until midnight. We checked in with the front desk about it and they said the restaurant was run by difficult people who never adhere to the 10pm noise agreement. This made our already negative experience with the dining experience feel even worse. We live in Philly and our dining scene is solid. I guess we're just used to decent service and better everything! I'm still kind of shocked it was that bad knowing that it's a Philly based company. The LaScalas are obviously too busy raking it in to care about basic hospitality or respect for their neighbors, or maybe coasting by on their reality tv fame. Wow. That sucked! read more
