Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Great service from the GM and staff who were professional and friendly. We asked Vincent for recommendations and had the scallops followed by the mushroom risotto and the spinach & ricotta ravioli which were cooked to perfection. He also helped us chose a fabulous wine....We will certainly return!More

My husband and I stopped in for dinner without a reservation and we were seated at a wonderful table for two. It is not easy to find meatless dishes in Spain so I was ecstatic to find a wonderful ravioli stuffed with spinach and cheese....It was the most flavorful food I have had so far on our vacation. My husband had the beef stroganoff and loved it. The staff were friendly and accommodating . The manager, Vincent, was so welcoming and a joy to talk to. He manages a wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and classy. I am sure we will be going back for another fantastic meal.More

Entering la Scala felt like coming home. We were greeted by a very nice lady who showed us our table near the fire place. We followed the waiter's recommendations for the daily special, a perfectly grilled seabass with squid ink tagliatelles pasta and finished with...the wonderful homemade tiramisu. The staff is highly professional and friendly matching the perfectly executed food. We will be back very soon for sureMore

Ambiance nice but I faced a service station which was ugly and disappointing.Stater fine but asked for some red wine vinegar and they didn’t have any.Main course,the duck was dry and inedible,my medium steak came rare but they did offer to cook more but I...had already eaten half so I declined. Overall disappointing for our second visit,and I thought overall it was expensive. Our first visit was fine,so will try a third time to see if last night was a one off.More

I had occasion to attend La Scala Restaurant ELVIRIA on Friday last and what a fabulous evening. I had four guests with me and they all said it was a magnificent experience. We were served by Anna and Maria who were like waitresses on wheels....The food was special and drinks flowed. We will certainly return. It was so reasonable for such a good night. The guests commented it was like a favourite night club.More

The setting and cleanliness is absolutely amazing, it really is a beautiful place. The food is generally good but not probably worth the price tag however it was nice. The issue like so many mention is the service, apart from the very welcoming English lady...the rest is a tad chaotic, you seem to wait forever to order a drink, then your meal then again if you would like another drink and while we were in there we heard all the tables asking if they could order something as no one really comes back to your table and you feel you are imposing if you ask for a drink. A real shame as when first found this restaurant had really high hopes for it. I totally understand the great reviews as of they get it right is amazing but theres one thing mentioned and thats service so come La Scala you are so close to nailing it just listen to us about the service and all will be good.More

I came with friends for a nice evening out, which of course would include conversations. I did not expect loud live music, which made having a relaxed conversation very difficult. The music certainly did not add any sophistication to the place. I had a spaghetti...carbonara, just average. The dessert, a chocolate fondant, was nice. I have no complaints about the service, but the music means I will have no plans to return.More

Service poor. Over 2.5 hours to be served our starters and main courses. Lovely setting. Food good but on par with your average Italian restaurant. I wouldn’t spend the extra money to go here as it’s pretty expensive.
