La Scala Beverly Hills has been a Hollywood staple for over 50 years and after eating there I know why. Their food is simple, class and consistent. They don't try to over do anything, but just make the food well, which is what keeps people coming back. I sat outside at the Beverly Hills location on a a nice hot sunny day (did I mention this perfect 80 degree day was in January?). Our server was friendly, warm and attentive. My friend and I each ordered a cup of the cream of corn soup. It was one of the best soups I've ever had. I'm pretty hard to please with soups, I'm not a huge soup person. It was delicious. I wish I had ordered a bowl or that it wasn't a special, because now I can't go back and order it again. Then, I ordered the famous Jean Leon chopped salad with tuna. The girl I was with ordered turkey. They looked exactly the same. The salad is lettuce, mozzarella cheese, tuna, chick peas and their secret dressing chopped. You could pretty much eat it with a spoon. The waiter garnished my salad with fresh parmesean cheese and ground pepper. They also served us bread, which was really good. I was pleasantly full afterwards and really enjoyed my meal. I will definetly go back and hopefully next time have time to shop in the area.
I decided to recreate my own tuna chopped salad at home. It was pretty easy and satisfying. I chopped lettuce, tuna, mozzarella, parmesean, pepper, and tomatoes. I mixed them really well and then added italian dressing and fresh ground pepper with a pinch of sea salt. It's an easy, delicious, healthy and inexpensive lunch. Maybe you don't want to pack it and up and bring it to your office though!
