Aposto At The Scala House - Des Moines

Worth every cent! From the moment you walk in to this place, you feel special. It has a romantic and warm feel with many intimate rooms. For our anniversary, we were given a champagne toast on the house. The beet salad had all the right flavors to start off our meal. The polenta cakes were to die for!! They smelled so delicious when the showed up to the table that I could only muster a half eaten picture. The gnocchi was worth all of the hype. Perfect texture with amazing warm crab and flavors that are unlike anything else in Des Moines. My husband had the house special of the night that included shrimp and andouille ravioli. Amazing! Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable with great recommendations. This place does not miss out on a single detailWe will definitely be back to enjoy our meal on the patio next time.

Excellent chef and staff. Best food anywhere in Des Moines!

Beautiful patio and all pasta is home made. Really hard to beat

Italian isn 't my go-to, but we really enjoyed Aposto. The service was super friendly and top-notch. The setting is especially nice. The prices are reasonable for the food and experience. I 'm giving the same rating here as I did for the Michelin starred El Ideas in Chicago a week ago. They 're not the same five stars. But, they 're each five stars relative to what you would walk in expecting. Give Aposto a try, you won 't be disappointed. You might even run into a hall of fame golfer if the tour is in town!

The best gnocchi in town. Hands down. This place has become one of my favorite spots in DSM. I highly recommend this place for their homemade noodles, contemporary atmosphere, and great service.
