Isabelle's Osteria

This is a great restaurant. I randomly walked in here for a small bite and glass of wine after work it was great! The next week my boss asked for dinner recommendations (large biz dinner) they decided on Isabelle's and they raved about the food and service! Beautiful decor, great wine, food and service! Also the managers were very accommodating when booking for the group.Highly recommend for group or a date!

Isabelle's Osteria was participating in Winter Restaurant Week which began three weeks ago. I managed to have lunch here today. The menu had interesting choices. Fennel salad and Chicken Milanese was my selection. The salad came first. Shaved fennel married with walnuts gave it a slight bite and Parmesan and lemon made it creamy. Chicken Milanese arrived but where was it? Under the arugula! This dinner-plate sized crispy chicken had a fedora of arugula, slivers of red onion and cherry tomatoes. Toothsome but alas too large a helping. I had it parceled to take home. My one peeve was that the large amount of arugula had a tendency to spill off the plate onto the table which seemed a touch off. Nestor made a flavorful passion fruit mocktail for me which paired well with the lunch. Both he and Jesus were personable and professional. We spoke about the chicken which is not on the regular menu but is being considered as it was the most popular entrée during this Restaurant Week event. Lunching here is relaxing and I know as I have been here a few times. Restrooms are downstairs but I was allowed to use the one on the ground floor. Highly recommended!

I came here for Sunday brunch this past weekend to celebrate my sister and future brother-in-law's engagement. The reason for 3 stars is because the service was lacking. The waiter never checked in on us. Didn't ask if we wanted more water or coffee, didn't ask how the food was or if we wanted dessert. Eventually another waiter came by after we complained to the manager and he was more helpful but it really was too late.I do want to give this restaurant another chance because the 3 stars is all the amazingly delicious food. Our party of 12 really enjoyed it. I ordered the truffle omelette and it was really delicious. My daughter had 2 eggs with a side of potatoes, the potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed his meal as well. The table had a burrata appetizer that was perfectly creamy and beets that were delicious that was with nuts and Gorgonzola cheese. I don't even like beets normally.The taste of the food is the only reason why I would go back and give another chance. Maybe we just had a bad waiter.

We loved our time here. The food was so good. I had the rigatoni and my Mom had the mushroom lasagna. I loved my food so much that I ate it all. We also had the meatballs. They were delicious. Everyone was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed especially water. The restaurant was extremely clean.

Came in for Thanksgiving dinner on a prepaid reservation (via OpenTable or Resy). The lady greeting us at the door was very rude ("uhhhh hi?! Uhh you have a reservation?") and we were both very well dressed....After that unfortunate experience, we were seated and ordered cocktails and a bottle of Red to enjoy with our meal. I decided to go with the filet while the wife went with the Thanksgiving meal. We both started with a ceasar salad. The service was amazing, food was also equally delicious. Can't wait to return to NY and try their Italian dishes!

Absolutely the BEST pomodoro I've had in NYC !!!!!! Would honestly come for this dish alone. Have been here twice now, and second time was just as good as I remembered.It's cute & pretty easy to get a reservation, though it can get loud inside. The side of crispy potatoes was huge & enjoyable (enjoyed the crispiest, tiny bits the most) though not a must order, and also liked the focaccia + whipped ricotta. Would probably pass on the fluke crudo next time but am curious about the Tuscan kale, mushroom lasagna, and cacio e pepe bucatini.

Service was excellent, food came out very quickly and there were constant water refills.Ambiance is nice if not a little loud.Food was okay and the reason I have to give 4 stars. The calamari was good, the bolognese was undersalted, and the watermelon salad was extremely underwhelming, especially for $19.

What a nice spot that is super close to my office! I came here for a work lunch.The staff was very pleasant but I found it odd that our servers didn't take our orders until 30 minutes in, where we put in our appetizer and individual lunch orders.We started off with the focaccia, which was such a treat, and the ricotta spread that comes with it was delicious!I ordered the mushroom lasagna, as a big mushroom fan I was excited. It was an excellent dish, and so delicious. I loved the béchamel sauce. It did make me wish for family-style; the mushroom lasagna was a type of dish that although delicious, I couldn't eat the whole thing in one sitting, especially since it's quite rich.A lot of people in my group ordered salads, and those were quite fitting as one serving. The Isabelle Cobb looked like a beautiful and colorful salad; although I didn't try it, it looked appetizing and healthy!I'd love to come here again and try other things on their menu!

My friends and I came here for dinner because they were the only place that could host 10 people for dinner. The interior is beautifully pink and garden themed and it's so adorable! For food, my boyfriend and I shared the Papardelle Bolognese and Lumache with lemony pork. The bolognese was okay because the sauce was too sweet for my taste. The actual noodles were cooked well and I liked the texture a lot 7/10. The lumache was very light and fresh, perfect for the warm weather! The lemon flavor came out on top and got better as you kept eating 7.5/10.The service was great and relatively quick for such a big party. I liked that it wasn't overcrowded like some other restaurants in New York are. I saw that they have a brunch menu and would be down to try that too!

Amazing food and service! First time here celebrating friend's birthday. Waiter Nestor and other staff have been so friendly. We ordered too much but we finished all because they were so yummy. surely will come back again.
