Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Isola Osteria in Danville offers a delightful Sicilian dining experience with "amazing, fresh pastas and fish dishes." Many guests praise the "authentic and delicious" cuisine, especially the Branzino and Porchetta. While some find the indoor noise challenging, the outdoor seating provides a calmer atmosphere. Service varies, but the owner, Angelo, adds a personal touch, making visits special. This charming spot is a "great addition" to the local dining scene.

    My husband loves branzino and ordered that and it was dry and well overdone. I got the lasagna which had great flavor but was very saucy and soupy. The restaurant was super loud and very very difficult to talk and hear each other and we were a table of 4. Pretty cramped inside. This was our first time here. We travel to Italy a lot and heard this was very authentic, which I think the recipes and offerings were, but just not prepared as we thought they would be. Very friendly and good service, but it would be a one and done for us.

    The food was delicious. The noise level made it impossible to chat. I would return sooner, but will wait for the weather to allow for outdoor seating.

    I usually love Isola Osteria as the food is wonderful. Saturday night the noise level was unbearable. We have been happy eating outside when the weather was decent. The indoor tables are too close together to mitigate the sound level. This is the second time that dining inside was unpleasant due to the noise. All it takes is one rowdy table to make everyone have to talk louder to hear each other. The wait staff also seemed stressed trying to deal with the overcrowding. They are usually very good. I will continue to patronize this restaurant on less busy days or when we can eat outside. Again - the food is really good as are the wine selections.

    We love the place. The only real issue is they rush you through your meal. It’s understandable as the restaurant is small. During the cold weather it does stand to reason this will continue. The food is great.
