Scala Pasta Bar

R345 per person sharing
(Excludes gratuity)

This winter, we’re serving comfort with a touch of decadence — a seasonally inspired shared menu full of bold flavours, soul-warming dishes, and the joy of good company.

To Start
Focaccia & Friends
A generous serving of our house-baked Italian olive and potato focaccia, served with crisp grissini sticks. The kind of beginning that invites you to settle in.

Warm-Up
Roasted Pumpkin Cream
Velvety roasted pumpkin soup topped with toasted hazelnuts and a savoury burnt parmesan foam. Rich, nutty, and exactly what winter calls for.

Pasta, Three Ways
Pappardelle alla Teramana
Egg pappardelle with fried meatballs and fresh parsley shoots. A classic from Abruzzo, made for cosy evenings.

Mussel Risotto
Creamy risotto loaded with mussels, grilled leeks, spicy nduja, and melty provolone. Bold, aromatic, and elegant.

Rigatoni all’Amatriciana
A Roman favourite — coal-roasted tomato sauce, crispy guanciale, a touch of chilli, and sharp pecorino. Smoky, savoury, and deeply satisfying.

To Finish
Coffee Mousse
Silky coffee mousse layered with white chocolate, roasted peanuts, dark chocolate ganache, a drizzle of olive oil, and Maldon salt. Sweet, salty, bitter, and smooth — all at once.

Gather your people, warm your soul, and savour a menu made for sharing.

The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail known for its bold flavours and vibrant red hue. It is traditionally crafted with equal parts gin, vermouth rosso, and Campari, garnished with an orange peel.

The Negroni's origin dates back to 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni, a Florentine nobleman, requested a stronger version of his favourite cocktail, the Americano, at Caffè Casoni in Florence. Bartender Fosco Scarselli obliged, substituting gin for the usual soda water, thus creating the iconic drink that has captivated cocktail enthusiasts worldwide.

The Negroni's perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and botanical notes has secured its place as a staple in bars and restaurants, celebrated for its simplicity and elegance.

At Scala, we offer 3 variations of this Italian staple:

• The Classic, made using the original recipe
• The White, made using all clear liquids infused with the right amount of bitter
• The Sbagliato, “with Prosecco in it”, made famous a few years ago and a global phenomenon ever since

All three of our Negronis are available at half the price during Aperitivo Hour, from 16h00 to 17h30 daily (except First Thursday).

At Scala, the chalkboard above the kitchen reveals an exclusive array of culinary delights not found on the physical menu, offering diners a glimpse into the chefs' creative inspirations. These specials change regularly, featuring dishes that highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients and showcase innovative Italian cuisine with a modern twist. From a 1.2kg Bistecca Florentina Steak, prepared in the Josper oven, to our Spinach Guincata Rotolino, each option promises to tantalise your taste buds and provide a unique dining experience.

These chalkboard specials are a testament to Scala's commitment to culinary excellence and their passion for bringing new and exciting flavours to the table.
