    The food was great, I got the Italia with Ragu sauce! The service was great too, they were very attentive and were always ready to assist. the price for what I got was good. it’s a small restaurant, so I definitely recommend making a reservation, but it’s super cute and not too loud.

    Amazing food. Literally everything we had, the duck appetizer, the wedge salad and the salmon and New York strip was incredible. The portions are big (the steak was 12 oz) and our server, Julio was outstanding as well. Loved everything about this place and it wasn't over crowded at all. Would highly recommend this place.

    Everything was spot on for our dinner at Isabella’s. We were made to feel so welcome by everyone from servers to bussers to maitre d - even a trainee spotted a concern and immediately offered assistance. The food was excellent and generous for the price point in Manhattan. Stand outs were the roasted beets and endive salad. The homemade pasta was also cooked perfectly - al dente but not too much so. We will be back!

    I have been here several times and the food, service, atmosphere and overall experience is consistently awesome. The prices are actually reasonable for NYC which makes it even better. I will continue to come back during the week and on the weekends when there is a nice party vibe later in the night.

    The menu choices were excellent and so was the taste. Ambience although a little noisy is very nice with excellent service levels. I am a reasonable regular to Pera for the above reasons and would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for tasty Mediterranean cuisine.
