A staple in the northeastern Pennsylvania cuisine scene. White tablecloth fine dining, menu excellent , genuinely welcoming.. they have a cozy little bar for a table for two on a busy night. Staff is wonderful, truly great service and I believe there is a gentleman that opens the door for the guests ( at least that's what my mom told me ). Also I'd like to know that they chose to put those tablecloth mats on each table, so your plates don't ping off the tabletop, things sit nice, comfy on the elbows.. As a dweeb, I take notice of those extra touches.. just sayin' Delicious traditional dishes, but with a real touch of genuine. They put craft and dedication to cooking these traditional dishes. The staff is one of the finest in the area, service was outstanding I would say make sure to order the special. Even though you might not know what it is, you can trust that this kitchen will deliver an amazing plate. Recently I went there with my parents, and they reminded me to wear something nice and make sure I don't have any holes in my jeans.. haha! That's the kind of place this is in a great way. Isabella has been doing it great for I would say almost 20 years one of my best friends used to cook their way back when and was always regarded as a very great kitchen in the area. Always a great choice. Thank you very much Isabella I will see you again! See you around! - JD∆

Isabella's did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. The staff was responsive and so helpful from the first phone call to request the date to the final goodbye at the end of the evening. The food is delicious, the dining room was set up beautifully and the ambiance was perfect. The real show stopper was truly the attentive and very kind staff. They were so very welcoming to us. Despite how busy they were, they never stopped smiling. They were genuinely kind to our party. I cannot give a higher rating or I would! I highly recommend Isabella's if you want great food, friendly staff and a beautiful and enjoyable environment! Thanks again Isabella's!

Came here for lunch. As far as I can tell, this restaurant exhibits high quality cuisine and exceptional service. I got the turkey lunch (an early thanksgiving treat) and the turkey was roasted perfectly, so that it was soft and flavorful. Of course the mashed potatoes and gravy were a hit. Service was superb. The staff was kind and quick. We will be coming back for dinner.

The waitress seemed not familiar with the menu. We had to ask if the re were specials. We had to ask the price of the specials. We are not intimidated to ask the price. Why isn’t given. The rest of prices are listed. We asked for romaine instead of lawn cropping and were charged an up charge. The “romaine substitution” we asked for was an up charge of $2 This may sound petty but the salad was very small, nothing more than lettuce on a plate. No tomatoes, nothing more. I have been there a few years ago. It has now almost all Italian. The chicken Giovanni was greasy. My scallop and shrimp over pasta was good. Has the restaurant been sold to a new owner and chef

First off, I have eaten all over the country and this place easily slipped into my top 10 as far as food, service and overall atmosphere. I will 1000% be visiting this restaurant again. I recommend anyone who lives in the area (or even outside the area) to visit this amazing place at some point. Could not be more please with the entire experience.

My fiancé and I came to this spot and let me just say: whoever’s running the kitchen is not playing around. Seasonal menu? More like seasonal serve. We started with the crab-stuffed shrimp, dubbed “Moby Dick Shrimp”. These were not your average shrimp, these were chonky. Like, borderline lobster energy. Juicy, loaded with crab, and served with the most aesthetic purple flower garnish. I almost didn’t want to touch it… but then I did. Aggressively. In addition to our giant shrimp came the roasted romaine salad. I’m not exaggerating when I say it turned lettuce into a main character. Smoky, crispy, perfectly dressed. It honestly gave steak vibes without the guilt. Now, onto the main course: the stuffed Chilean sea bass. This fish was soft, buttery, and flaky in the most “did that just melt in my mouth?” way. The stuffing? Herby and slightly rich. It kinda felt like a hug from Poseidon. I’d eat it again on the daily if I could. Obviously we ended with our usual dessert favorites: affogato for me / cannoli + espresso for my fiancé. Before the season changes and this lineup disappears, I’d recommend going.

The Special Hake - was delicious. The presentation was gorgeous - a pepper filled with corn and veg. Butternut squash and mashed potatoes were presented proportionly on the plate. We Chose from a fine collection of wine and always finish with the LA Colombe coffee. Thank you, Chef Scott.
