   We had a good lunch at Isabella and would definitely try it again. The burrata was absolutely delicious.

   I was looking for an authentic Italian restaurant during a recent trip to Boston and was encouraged by other reviews to try Isabella. Immediately, I felt like I was back in Italy. The atmosphere, food (the Carbonara!), wine and service were outstanding. I will go back. Reservations are a must.

   This was my fourth time eating at Isabella in the last three years. Each time I visit Boston I come here. And I typically bring someone new, who experiences for the first time what I have, great food, great service, and good value. Not to mention I nice wine selection. I am already looking forward to my next visit. Grazie e complimenti!

   Great experience at Isabella! My daughter uses a wheelchair and it was a little tight to get to our seat, but the staff was very accommodating. They put a portable ramp outside to go up the step. Food was delicious! Wonderful experience!

   What a fantastic dining experience! Food was amazing- loved the shrimp risotto, eggplant parmigiana, roasted mussels, and asparagus. Service was outstanding - attentive and friendly. Great restaurant in North End neighborhood- highly recommend.

   You could tell the people in the kitchen really knew what they were doing. For example on the Caesar salad, the dressing was freshly made -- you could taste all the ingredients separately. The portions are generous and the food delicious.

   Food was outstanding, wine too. Staff very friendly and attentive. Cozy, friendly atmosphere. All made for a great experience. I grew up in a nearby Boston suburb so have been to the North End many, many times over the years. This was my first time at Isabella's and it was among the best, if not the best. I don't live in the area anymore but was in town for business with two colleagues from LA who'd never been to the North End. They really enjoyed the meal and were hugely impressed.

   We enjoyed an EXCEPTIONAL meal Sunday night of Marathon weekend! From the manager who greeted us at the door to our very friendly and attentive server, staffing was wonderful. The menu was sinfully delicious with so many wonderful meals to choose from. Our food arrived in appropriate timing, hot and was even more tasty than we could imagine! We’ll be back… again and again!!

    Absolutely excellent. We happened upon this gem by chance and have been back twice and planned a big family dinner there! Location, service, wine list all excellent. Now for the food. Definitely go for the home made pasta. To date we have had and loved the lobster ravioli, mushroom ravioli (special with mushroom sauce), lamb ragu and of course salads. Oh and chicken cacciatore- all above compassion in the north end. Bon Apetit
