“For a small town, Newcastle does not have a great deal of eating places other than fast food. However, Isabella's is a jewel and would be worth driving out of the way to visit or stopping in Newcastle long enough to try this place. Predominantly, they seem to be a pizza restaurant, but with all of the options on their menu, they are far more diverse than I thought they would be.
The steak egg roll appetizer (pictured) comes three to a plate and they are worth every bite. It is filled with meat, peppers, onions, and served with a Thai sauce. On a scale of 1-10, these were easily a 10. The best we have ever had.
The spinach artichoke dip (pictured) was also a 10 out of 10 and comes with little pieces of like Texas toast cut up into smaller bite-size squares. They were toasted just right so they were not overly crunchy, but also did not immediately go soggy when covered in the artichoke dip.
I did the fish and chips (pictured) and while the fries seem to be overly done, they were actually the right consistency. Outside was a little crisper, but soft and hot on the inside. The fish though was a tad on the bland side compared to the other dishes we got, but would definitely get it again.
Wife got the cranberry and blue cheese salad as a main dish (pictured) and she said it was one of the best she has ever eaten and rated it 8-9 out of 10.
The day we were there, it was a little warmer, but there was outside seating available. In some ways, I wish we would have sat outside, but the flies that day were bad and there were quite a few in the restaurant as well.
While they have a couple of desserts on the menu, we did not try them.
The service was good and our waitress was friendly enough to engage in some small talk even when the restaurant started to fill up.
We would DEFINITELY go here again on our next visit, and probably on multiple days.“
