First time at Isabella’s and won’t be the last. Cozy, quiet little Italian gem in a strip mall just past Rotonda. As other reviews stated, the only downside (if you can even call it that) is that for a party of two, they give you two pieces of bread….BUT, they quickly offer to replenish bread and the dipping oil was great! Everything we had, from starter, to salad / soup, entrees (BIG portions, we brought home half of each!) and we split a Limoncello flute for dessert. And, the best part, our server, Antonella, was just the best - friendly, cheerful, attentive and couldn’t have asked for more! Looking forward to our next visit there!
So excited to find this restaurant! My husband had the chicken picatta and I had the shrimp francais. Both dishes were among the best we’ve had in the area! Service was great and I love that you can make a reservation for dining! We can’t wait to return and try more of their fabulous Italian menu!

Server was very good, friendly, made us feel welcome. Atmosphere was nice, not formal, people came in jean shorts. Food was decent but I've had better at other establishments. Must have a reservation or eat at the small bar.

Wonderful cozy dining experience.
Hidden gem in Lincoln road. One of the few restaurants there thats actually great and not touristy. Staff is super attentive and the food is delicious. Ambience is lovely.
We have been here three times over three years. They have consistently served the selected menu item to someone incorrectly. The first time my wife ordered the special of chicken and gnocchi. It was served with no chicken. When we challenged the mistake, the waitress tried to say the chicken was in the gnocchi. When we did get the chicken breast it was just dropped off at the table on a plate , no sauce , nothing. Last year one of my guests ordered shrimp and scallops pasta. We were informed they ran out of scallops and he would get extra shrimp instead. When served there was no extra shrimp. This year, a week ago, they were not busy , not rushed, still the same problem. Three of us ordered the sea scallops with choice of pasta ($32.00). All three were served shrimp and scallops ($28.00). When the order was questioned, we were told that is the way it comes. The menu says scallops, no check ticket said scallops. Plus one of the orders came with linguine instead of angel hair pasta. When the check came all three people were charged the $32.00 for scallops. Unfortunately, I am afraid that three strikes you are out applies here. They have a problem in their kitchen or wait staff.
Very flavorful and well-prepared lemon caper chicken and chicken parmesan. Friendly attentive service, even though we arrived a half hour before closing. Cozy atmosphere.
Best shrimp scampi i ever had.
Great food and great service!
