La Scala Ristorante Italiano is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Baltimore's Little Italy neighborhood, founded by Executive Chef and owner Nino Germano. A native of Bafia, Sicily, Chef Nino moved to Baltimore at age 9 and developed his craft through years of cooking alongside his mother before opening La Scala in 1995 — building on the experience he gained running two prior Italian restaurant locations. The restaurant operates around a philosophy of great traditional home-style cooking with quality ingredients and personal attention. Chef Nino is known for greeting guests personally throughout the evening, creating a setting the restaurant describes as a home away from home. La Scala has been recognized as Baltimore's Best Italian Restaurant multiple times by Baltimore Magazine readers and was named to the publication's Top 50 Baltimore Restaurants list. For private events, La Scala offers multiple dedicated spaces accommodating groups from 8 to 160 guests seated, or up to 220 for a standing reception. Private rooms include the Isola Room — the largest, seating 70 — as well as the La Scala Room and its two divisible sub-rooms.

The History of Rockwood Manor Retreats and Events After leaving Washington, D.C., Carolyn Gangwer Caughey (pronounced "Coy") traveled west along the Old Conduit Road (now MacArthur Boulevard) to her newly purchased estate near Great Falls. Mountains of tall cedars, poplars, and oaks cover rock-studded hillsides that gently slope down to a stream valley. A name for Mrs. Caughey's country estate was suggested to her by the natural elements almost immediately: Rockwood. Carolyn was a well-to-do socialite whose ancestors traced their roots back to the American Revolution. She was also a successful businesswoman who had a passion for architecture and a keen eye for profit in the real estate market. According to Who's Who in the Nation's Capital, she is "active in civic betterment, particularly in relation to better-constructed and better-planned homes," among other things. It also mentions that she was responsible for designing one of the largest apartment buildings in the nation's capital at the time. As a result, many of her close friends were not surprised when she revealed that she had designed and personally supervised the construction of her new home. Visiting auctions and antique dealers in the area on a regular basis assisted her in the furnishing of her country estate. Celebrations This historic manor house, which can accommodate up to 120 guests for a ceremony on the wooded Patio, followed by cocktails on the Veranda and a sit-down dinner in the rustic elegance of Brooke Hall, is the focal point of our property. When the party is over, the Hoover Hall ballroom and festive Sun Porch are transformed into a two-level party space for dessert and dancing. Flexible floor plans allow you to personalize your guests' experience and the flow of your event, allowing you to create an event that is completely unique. The cost of a single day event ranges from $1,660 to $4,600. Please see the rate sheets linked to below for more information. Meetings Because of its close proximity to Bethesda, Tysons, the 270 corridor, and Washington, DC, Rockwood Manor is an excellent choice for your next business meeting. In our six flexible meeting spaces, we can accommodate groups ranging from 12 to 80 people. Alternatively, you can book the entire house for your conference, wellness retreat, or strategic planning sessions. Take, for example, a strategic planning session for your organization that is inspired by a group hike to Great Falls, the rushing Potomac River, and the gentle swaying of the trees.

Over the course of the past 65 years, Circle D Farm has made steady progress in modernizing our infrastructure. Although we make every effort to adapt as the times change, we never lose sight of the fact that we started out as a working farm.

As a result of this, we make it a priority to continually improve and manage the farm. At Circle D Farm, we take care of the details that are promptly addressed, although at commercial facilities or larger operations, they are sometimes overlooked.
