Great Food, Location, and Service! You will want to come back for more! We were recommended to Scala’s Bistro by our friends who were attending a conference with us. They had lunch the previous day and were so impressed with the restaurant that they came back for three more meals while we were in town for the week. After we went there, it is no surprise to me why they loved it so much. The entire experience was wonderful and we decided we too would be back again to try more dishes.

Location: Scala’s Bistro is ideally located on the famous Powell Street (cable car street) and sits right next to Sir Francis Drake hotel. It is one short block away from Union Square.

Décor: The décor is upscale Italian. The dark woods and earth colors offers an overall feeling of warmth to the interior. The tables and booth areas are enough distance to allow for a pleasant dining experience. The large murals along the walls add a special interest to the room as well.

Menu: The menu is well designed and offers unique and special flavors to the dishes. The leanings are toward Italian fare, however there is a French influence as well. The dishes that we tried were all innovative and had special zests that demonstrates the chef’s artistry. My personal favorites were the pasta dishes. The pasta is prepared to perfection.

Wine/Beer/Cocktails/Champagnes: The wine menu is plentiful and delivers a good selection of Napa and Sonoma wines. A special nod of appreciation for their choices of sparkling wines. I think all will appreciate that the menu offers something for everyone.

Service: The service was beyond approach. We were greeted with friendliness by the host upon walking in and our server Juan was extremely attentive and helpful.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere is cozy and offers buffered acoustics for easy conversations. A good choice for friends, business, date night, etc.

Restrooms: The restrooms are located in the hotel and you will need to ride an elevator up to the second floor. There is only one restroom for ladies and gentlemen.

Final Thoughts: Scala’s is a great find on the busy and touristy Powell street. It offers a sanctuary from the bustling crowded feel of Union Square. The food is simply delicious. The service is exemplary. It is an overall very satisfying dining experience and we look forward to trying it again and again to sample more of their menu.

5StarTip🌟: Try any of the pasta dishes! They are cooked to perfection!

Scala’s Bistro rates an Always5Star rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Cheers!
