About this restaurant

Isa.bella is a casually elegant Italian Kitchen with handmade, retro-modern décor, relaxing globe lighting and acoustic-driven music. Self-taught and self-proclaimed “Cook—NOT Chef” Gary specializes in gourmet pastas, “Neapolitan style” pizzas and hearty Italian dishes pulled straight from the family recipe book. Crowd favs include Uncle Frank’s Bolognese, Shrimp a la Chico, Chicken Limón and for dessert Churros Napoletanos, prepared fresh-to-order and drizzled with warm hazelnut fudge.

Just 5 minutes from La Jolla, Pacific Beach & Sea World, and with ample parking, free live summer concerts, a pet-friendly patio and on-property shopping and movies, isa.bella is the perfect destination for affordable, casual date nights, family dinners & special occasions.

    Every dish blew us away! Uncle Frank’s Bolognese was the best meat sauce I’ve ever tasted. The Chicken Limon was as advertised. Meyer lemon and basil throughout. And their Alfredo sauce had a hint of some sharp cheese flavor that was heavenly. Great beer selection too. Very clever setup. It’s in a big outdoor food court, next to a cinema with other restaurants, so their outside is setup for families with kids to eat pizza and run around, but inside is a beautiful , full-service Italian restaurant with great lighting and good music. Service was good considering how busy they were. Can’t wait to try the pizza.
