Here’s a Happy Hour offered by La Scaletta’s happy chef and owner, Giordy Tonelli:

Sit at any of the North Palm restaurant’s bars and order two drinks between 4 and 6 p.m. and you’ll be treated to a free item from the assaggini (“little tastes”) menu.

What’s on this bar bites menu? Deliciousness, Italian-style: Caprese salad with pesto, garlic shrimp bruschetta, meatballs in marinara, eggplant rolls, mussels in spicy sauce, grilled sausage, crispy fried ravioli, smoked salmon and cheese, and more.

And if it’s a particularly happy night, the chef just may step out of the kitchen and take over the piano to belt out a few Italian standards.
