Wow! What a great experience! Started off great with a warm greeting at the hostess station and continued throughout the evening. My server JC was attentive and very knowledgeable. He knows the menu well with great recommendations. I had the grilled octopus as an appetizer and the Branzino with grilled vegetables! Best Branzino I’ve ever tasted and cooked perfectly! Cannot wait to return and have the crab pasta recommended by JC! Grazie mille! Excellente!

Once again, Issabella’s continues to impress. The new lamb meatballs in an amazing tzatziki sauce were so good. The classic swordfish and salmon dishes were wonderful. And the new orange cake was incredible and perfect for spring/summer. As always. Victor was the quintessential host - welcoming, helpful and charming as ever. Cannot wait to return.

We enjoyed delicious cocktails and a variety of dishes from the tuna crudo to spicy rigatoni, all of which exceeded our expectations. The staff were very accommodating and made excellent recommendations from the menu and wine list. We concluded our meal with the pavlova which is a must-try. Will definitely be returning for more!
