We both very much enjoyed the seabass, which was crispy and juicy, with a delicious topping. We also sides of creamed spinach and mushrooms that were excellent. The decor is very appealing, and the service was friendly and efficient.

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Sandro’s. The food was extremely delicious and the service was courteous and efficient. The restaurant is small and the noise level increased as the restaurant got busier, but everyone seemed happy to be there and having a convivial time. All in all, it was a treat and we look forward to returning.

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!

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.
