LA CASA'S SELECTION OF SINGLE MALT SCOTCHES

What's an Italian restaurant doing featuring the finest malts from Scotland ?

Why do you think Hadrian's Wall was originally built ?

Those wily Scots tried to keep the Romans away from their greatest resource, but we modern Italians know and appreciate a good thing - no matter where it's from.

The following is the beginning of what hopefully will become a much better selection in the very near future. Come in and enjoy !
