Nice easy reservation. My son and I visited prior to a Celtics game so we were early. Seated immediately and the service quickly followed. Both the host and the server were very friendly and attentive. We had both the sausage and the meatballs as appetizers. Both were very good but the sausage stole the show. A little bit of spice but not too much. I kept it simple w/ a chicken parm and my son the Bolognese. Both were excellent. Portions were solid (I did not come close to finishing my parm). Finished it off with some deserts and a shot of Limoncello. Never waited for anything but certainly never felt rushed. We like to try new places when we visit but we'll make another stop here.

Isabella has become my favorite spot in the North End. Their shrimp scampi appetizer is the best I've ever had, and their gnocchi pasta alone is worth the trip-ask for this with your meal for a slight up charge-so well worth it! Excellent wine list and service. Love this spot and will keep returning!
