Great experience! Food was very good from appetizers to the tiramisu! Service was excellent as well.

First time at Isola Bella tonight and wow — it did not disappoint! Pro tip: don’t sleep on their Focaccia Friday. I didn’t realize how much I loved focaccia until I tried theirs — absolutely incredible. The eggplant rollatini was delicious, the chicken marsala and salads were perfect, and we even saved room for the lemon cake, which was the sweetest ending.
Classic Italian dishes made with care, fresh ingredients, and real flavor. Great food, wonderful service, and such a cozy spot. Definitely adding Isola Bella to our favorites list — and already looking forward to going back soon.

With a food allergy (casein). It’s usually hard to eat at an Italian restaurant! But the chef at Isola Bella hit a home run by tailoring the shrimp and crabmeat Scampi to my dietary needs using olive oil instead of butter!! 10/10!!!

We haven't been to this restaurant in years. It's now under new ownership since our last visit. It did not disappoint. Food was excellent & service by Amanda was outstanding. Will definitely go back. Very cute place.

Sorry but the food was terrible. My wife had lasagna which was extremely greasy. I had chicken marsala in which the chicken was overcooked/dry and the sauce very thin. Drinks were best part of meal.

Our meal was delicious. The service was also excellent. This is one of our favorites on the island. Isola Bella never disappoints.

Have eaten here many times and always always loved it. This last time it seemed like the food was rushed and plate display was not as good. Much smaller portions than before and taste was ok. Lobster ravioli continues to be the winner. Always make it a point to eat here every trip we make to AMI. May not be as inclined to do so going forward.

Amazing dining experience from start to finish! I had the Best veal piccata I’ve ever had. My friend had the fresh fish special ( which I tasted) so delicious!! Both were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sooo tender and tasty. We were greeted warmly at the front door by Rain … she seated us immediately and it just kept getting better. Our server Dan was hands down the best! He suggested two delicious appetizers bruschetta and caprese salad .. both outstanding! He also paired a wonderful bottle of bubbly that complimented the food perfectly. Cannot recommended Isola Bella enough ..Delizioso!!

Great place and the food is wonderful. But I think they should add primavera with a creamy Alfredo type sauce. (I don’t like meat but I love grilled shrimp). Hubby got chicken parm which was also very good. The atmosphere was very nice. The waiter was also very attentive and very friendly. Great experience. We’ll be back soon!

The restaurant and chef were amazing with my son's peanut and tree nut allergy. They went to the back, pulled the ingredients and checked to see if they were made in a facility that processes nuts. Then when we picked up our order the chef came out and said that my son could not have the bread because the ingredients were processed in a facility that handles nuts. They were thorough and thoughtful and took us seriously. I will 100% be sharing how great they were to my allergy groups!

I didn't like the drinks very much, they didn't have ice, they were hot knowing that we are on the coast and the heat that makes it was looking to refresh the dishes very little the attention more or less a day before we went and the girl who attended us said that it was only with reservation well we made the reservation for the next day but for me it was not a good experience.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Not crowded but I expect it is hard to get into in season. Reservations recommended.
