About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.

I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.

Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

    if you go during happy hour it’s the most affordable pizza I’ve had in SD, along with it being very close to the best pizza I’ve had. The crust was phenomenal although there isn’t a lot of cheese on the pizza and the sauce is a little thin. Still very highly recommend going during happy hour. A 12” pizza was less costly than the wine!

    This place rocks. It's not cheap, but the food is fantastic, the wine list as well. Excellent recipes, a broad spectrum of different flavors available on each of the submenus, something for everyone here. Ask for Alex - he's as hospitable and upbeat as anyone you'll ever meet in a restaurant dining room. After last night's meal, my wife and I agreed that we don't eat here enough...

    Excellent meal while in San Diego. We went to dinner following a Padres game and enjoyed pasta and pizza. The food is very fresh and authentic. Service was great too.

    It was our first time dining here. We loved that outside was dog friendly. The food was wonderful, we has flank steak and lasagna. Both very tasty. And their Little Italy take on a Manhattan was wonderful. If it wasn’t for all the passerby peeps it was was perfect.
