We went to the restaurant pre-theatre. Our waiter took his time as we were early for the show. We ordered the grilled octopus and hummus with pita as starters. Both were great. Our mains were seafood salads and Swordfish which was outstanding. The lemonades were so delicious that we ordered repeats.' We will definitely be back when we go to the Colony Theatre.

The setting on Lincoln Road is one of the best particularly dining outside. The interior is beautiful with an impressive cocktail bar. The food is eclectic skillfully prepared. Salads, Veal Chop, and desserts are delicious. The menu is à la carte so everything is extra including bread. Service considering it's touristy area is better than what you might expect on the pedestrian thoroughfare. They are very accommodating and interested in doing their best. It's nice not to be rushed. The speaker system is overwhelming and very loud so much so that some tables would be deafening, don't know how that attracts customers.

Came to Issabella's for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. The service was incredible and they all went out of the way to make sure the night was special. Karina was exceptional and makes the best espresso martinis. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone 😊

Had dinner here twice and both times were delicious! The swordfish and lamb chops were amazing and really enjoyed the tzatziki with pita. I highly recommend coming here!

This is our favorite restaurant on Lincoln Road. The food is always delicious and the service first class. The octopus is one of the best I have tasted and the salads are always fresh. I can recommend Issobella's as a great people watching spot with excellent food and service

My husband and I had a very pleasant lunch at Isabella's on Lincoln Road. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu, which was a great choice—the portions were generous and the dishes were flavorful. It felt like a great value for the quality and quantity of food. Our server (whose name I regret I don't recall--I'm so sorry!) was excellent—attentive, professional, and very pleasant throughout the meal. The only real disappointment was the Bloody Mary I ordered. I had been really looking forward to it, but unfortunately it fell flat. The tomato juice tasted off, there was barely any vodka, and it lacked the classic seasonings that usually give the drink its bold flavor. It definitely missed the mark. That said, everything else about our visit made up for it, and we still had an enjoyable experience. Thank you, Isabella's!

Went to Isabella’s for an early Lunch. On the menu in August they have #tag Miami spice. Well I was in for a treat… you choose a stater , a main and a dessert. Oh my goodness…. there was 3 of us . We all chose a different stater so we could all enjoy and taste each others.we had sliced beetroot carpaccio….octopus crochet… and lamb meatballs…. Tasty? Absolutely 2 of us ordered the steamed mussels and the other main meal ordered was New York strip with skinny stick fries and truffle aioli…delicious… !!yes please!! … tasty fresh food… in a stunning classy restaurant … that has a great atmosphere…. great staff great food … what more do you need! Of course dessert….Affogato, it was a first for me… I’ve never tried it before… I could have had seconds…. I was so eager to eat my dessert… I forgot to take a photo…. that means you must go and taste this fantastic food for yourselves. Thank you for ending my Miami vacation… with an extremely happy tummy…filled with tasty delicious food. 🥂😘

Very comfortable place, ambience is excellent. Staff are very nice but kitchen is a bit slow considering it's not a busy time. Food is good but seafood can be fresher. They have Miami Spice deal until September. Lunch is $35/person and dinner is $45/person. It's a very good deal. Must try!!!

Issabella’s isn’t just dinner, it’s an experience worth remembering. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance sets the tone: elegant but not pretentious, lively yet intimate. It’s the kind of setting where every detail feels intentional, from the lighting to the music, making it a perfect backdrop for both a night out with friends and a special occasion.
The food? Flawless. Every dish that hit the table was plated like art and tasted even better. The raw scallops were impossibly fresh, light, and bright making them a perfect opener. The grilled octopus with potatoes brought a smoky depth and balance that was nothing short of a flavor bomb. Veal came out crisped to perfection, with a texture and seasoning that showcased real skill in the kitchen. And the swordfish with artichokes? Quite simply, the best we’ve ever had they were tender, flavorful, and perfectly executed.
Service was attentive without being overbearing. The staff was knowledgeable, confident in their recommendations, and genuinely invested in making the evening memorable. Chef Felipe deserves a special mention, and the menu feels like a love letter to Mediterranean flavors, delivered with precision and passion.
Issabella’s has earned its place as a must-visit on Lincoln Rd. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Miami Beach, do yourself a favor and book a reservation. You’ll walk out already planning your next visit.
