Great food and service! We sat right by the window and were served by the owner (I believe) who was kind and very helpful. The burrata, homemade ravioli, and bolognese were wonderful. Seems like a hidden gem

Just a perfect evening to celebrate my mom who is 86! They were very accommodating and efficient. We can’t wait to come back. Table favorites were the calamari to start, chicken Marsala and carbonara.

Wonderful, typically small Italian North End restaurant. Nicely appointed, quiet intimate atmosphere. attentive servers . I know it’s a cliché, but definitely try the veal. Scrumptious.

We wanted to try a new restaurant that we haven’t been to in the North End of Boston. Pulled up Opentable and Yelp to start my reviews in the North end of Boston. Came across Isabella. After checking their menu, they had a little bit of everything and great reviews so I decided to give it a go. We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation. The waiter who greeted us stated that our table would be ready around 5:30 because they were full. He was very nice and stated he would call me if a table opened up sooner, but it wasn’t a problem, we just walked around for a while. Isabella is located on a side street in such a great little “town square” type area right near the Paul Revere house. Since this is a small restaurant, reservations are a must! We arrived back around 5:30 and were promptly sat. The waiter was very attentive and informative! I had the penne with broccoli rabe and sausage but opted for the homemade tagliatelle pasta instead of penne. WOW! The flavors in this simple dish were amazing! Highly recommend! My family has chicken parm and some other pasta dishes, they were all fantastic! Upon finishing dinner, the waiter came over with a complementary Tiramisu. Now I’m not the biggest Tiramisu fan, but if I could get Tiramisu like they made it regularly, it would be my favorite! Isabella was fantastic from start to finish. Every aspect was amazing from the service to the presentation and most importantly, the flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant and this will become a staple for us whenever we are in Boston! Thank you Isabella!!!
