    An excellent experience from greet to goodbyes. There is lovely al fresco dining and the indoors is a clean and smart space. Attention to detail abounds in the food preparation and presentation, inspiring combinations mixed with classics to savor. The staff is wonderfully pleasant and knowledgeable, attentive enough not to want and respectful of your privacy. This is an intimate gem!

    What the location and ambiance lacks, the food and service makes up for. We love Italian food and theirs was exemplary: spinach raviolis in vodka sauce were perfect. My gnocchi in brown butter sauce were some of the best I’ve had - including in Italy. Get the pistachio cake - I’ve never had anything so light and delicious. And the homemade focaccia bread with tapenade was ridiculous. Yum!!!!

    This place has great food. This place has great service. Prices are not cheap but not outrageous either. The building could definitely use an update. If the interior matched the food and service it’s definitely a 5⭐️.

    We had the most amazing evening at Isola Bella on Holmes Beach, AMI. Every morsel was delectable. The ingredients and flavors were fresh and aromatic. The presentation was beautiful. I was so excited by the appearance of the Caprese appetizer special that I neglected to take a photo. It was spectacular and tasted just as amazing as it looked. The meal was expertly prepared, presented and gratefully consumed. The staff were very professional and on top of everything at the right time and place. We highly recommend Isola Bella for any special occasion, but also as a perfect way to end any day on AMI. Kudos to Isola Bella.

    This is a nice little restaurant but I don’t think I would go back. My wife had the veal Parmesan and asked if it was pounded and she was told yes, but in fact, it was a thick piece of veal, albeit nicely tender. I had chicken marsala and it was a very sweet almost Glazy sauce which I did not enjoy. Also the chicken was just a breast that was cooked which made the thick part of it very delicious and tender and the thin section very tough. The pasta was fresh and al dente the bread was superb and the service in my opinion was top-notch. Probably worth a try.
