    Come here regularly, and the experience evolves everytime, from ambience to food and service. If you’ve been here before, they have a new menu for summer. It is clear that ingredients are always fresh and play a distinct role in every dish. Managers and owners come by to make sure the experience is enjoyable, which it always is. Definitely will continue to dine here.

    Amidst the many options in Little Italy, Isola is a standout. You can’t go wrong with their authentic pasta dishes, which taste like they were made with the love and care only a Nonna would be capable of crafting. We chose to sit outside, 2 of the 4 outdoor heaters were not working. But the hostess kindly moved us closer to a functional one as soon as it was available. The serving assistants were great and even offered to take pictures for us. I appreciate their attentiveness and care. Overall this is a must try. While they may be a little short staffed with servers, you can’t have a bad meal here. The food and atmosphere won’t disappoint.
