La Scala as the name indicates is right on the steps to La Scala di Santa Maria del Monte (called Scalinata by the locals). We climbed all the way to the top of the steps, visited the church and picked this convenient restaurant for lunch. We requested a seat outside and were accommodated but that's where the service ended. A large tour group came in after us and were seated inside creating a less than peaceful lunch for those of us outside. And our service deteriorated accordingly as I guess it was all hands on deck to handle the tour group. We finally did get food--a Pasta all Norma that was terribly over sauced--see photo. We were really hungry after climbing the 142 steps so ordered pork ribs and a pork chop. Each came on a plate without any other embellishments--no veggies and not even a garnish and they were cooked very well done. Disappointing but not disastrous.

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the setting more than charming. We sat in the courtyard but the interior areas were also pleasant. The staff was professional and inviting.

After spending our morning in caltagirone we decided to stop here for lunch.
Being in 11 we decided for a fixed menu of 16€
We could choose between to types of pasta and a fixed main course with salad.
The two pastas were classic with tomato sauce and a penne with salami and mushrooms.
Main was a oven cook pork cuts.
All plates were good tasting
Good service

Fairly nice restaurant in Caltagirone with reasonable prices. We were looking for pizza for lunch. The name of the restaurant includes pizzeria so we went in. The menu has pages of pizza. When we were ready to order we were told no pizza at lunch. The pasta we had was fine but nothing special. The house wine was fairly good and inexpensive.
