La Scala Closes

As confirmed at the Point Loma Association's November Beautification Committee meeting and reiterated in the 2011 winter bulletin, La Scala Restaurant, located on the corner of Scott and Cañon streets, has been purchased by the owners of Pomodoro, also located in Point Loma. The restaurant is currently under renovation and will reopen as the Lighthouse Grill.

La Scala had been operating for three decades, recently to less than stellar reviews. (Yelp criticisms included outdated decor and sluggish service.)

Beginning in the late 1970s, the Point Loma Association began concentrating on the removal of billboards and shutting down area strip clubs, including one located at the La Scala location named the Booby Trap.
