Woollahra has received an energy injection on the dining front with the opening of La Scala on Jersey, located above the Light Brigade Hotel. Fronted by Darren Simpson, La Scala on Jersey delivers a sophisticated Italian restaurant and cocktail bar sporting Simpson’s trademark simplicity with a cheeky twist.

After scaling the grand Italian travertine staircase (La Scala which translates to “the staircase” in English) guests are welcomed to a vibrant bar and dining haven. Boasting a lively makeover, La Scala on Jersey offers a fun, sexy atmosphere, and is completely separate from its downstairs counterpart.

Darren Simpson is waiting at the top of the staircase to cook you dinner.
