Aposto at the Scala House offers a refined dining experience with dishes such as pork, gnocchi, brussel sprouts, pizza, polenta cakes, and desserts like mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate peanut butter torte. The cozy atmosphere blends modern and Victorian styles, making it perfect for special celebrations or casual gatherings with friends. The restaurant is inside a converted house, which adds to its charm. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with staff being friendly and adding thoughtful touches, like a candle on dessert. The menu changes monthly, featuring high-quality food, drinks, and excellent service, though prices are on the higher side. Guests have praised the gnocchi for its lightness and flavor, and the polenta cakes are a popular choice. Some reviews mentioned that portion sizes can vary and some dishes, like risotto, may lack a flavor punch. Desserts have received mixed feedback, but overall, the restaurant pays close attention to detail and offers a memorable experience. Reservations are recommended, especially for special occasions.
