Best Restaurants for Groups in Villanova

La Scala is a pizza place with lots of other choices on the menu. Our table took a non-pizza route and had a really nice meal. The fish dishes (salmon and tuna) were both lovely; the gnocchi were super, and the one person who ordered a noodle dish reported that it was very good. However, I don't think we were playing to the restaurant's strong suit, which is pizza, as evidenced by the large pizza oven visible from our table and what was ordered at the tables near us. I would have preferred not to have the large TV screens visible throughout the place, but that's a me thing. Our server was very attentive. We were very pleased with our meal, happy that we would sit at the table long after having finished eating, to continue our conversation.

It was a wonderful experience. We celebrated two birthdays there! Everyone loved it and each of us had a delicious meal.

Thank you so much for being open late night for us to have something to eat after going to the Bates Motel Halloween attraction! We enjoyed having a small plain pizza and the most delicious green arugula salad with shrimp… My friend enjoyed the chicken Parm ! Most of all we were so grateful to our wonderful waitress who graciously served us and we were the last ones at 12 midnight …

Server needed to be more attentive & missed out on a bigger check & tip because she failed to ask/check re: second round of drinks and other items. I would say that was the only disappointing factor during this visit.

Renata Cafe is a great addition to the University City dining scene. The food is quite good, and the service always comes with a smile. We love dining at this neighborhood gem.
