Isabella’s

Really good food. Ambiance is nice. I call it swanky. Loved the blue palette decor. Unique and felt upscale. We started with Burrata. Very tasty with the tomato and artichoke but expected it to be warmer and when broken, that the cheese would flow out like lava for easy bread dipping. It was knife spread consistency. Salads were great, the Caesar comes in a baked Parmesan bowl. My complaint there is the croutons. I have to assume the salad was made ahead of time as the croutons were soggy. I would just leave those off. Not needed with the crisp cheese bowl. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. The shrimp carbonara, the tagliatelle with bolognese and the 16 layer lasagna with Italian sausageFinished with olive oil cake and crème brûlée for dessert. The cake was good-orange lemon and had a nice flavor. The brûlée was the thinnest I have ever had. Hardly any custard so it tasted like pure sugar from the scorched sugar topping. That's all I tasted. Complete waste of money. Do not order. Outside of the food, the wait staff was attentive. Too attentive. It irks me when staff interrupts conversation to ask for the 4th time if they can take the bread basket. Geez!

One of my best meals of the past two years! I travel frequently for work in multiple states and this restaurant has made my top five. Very attentive and friendly staff, outstanding salad and salmon main. I would have had a dessert but was just too full. Beautiful decor and very pleasant atmosphere with soft jazz music. You can't go wrong here for a date or business meal. We need more quality restaurants like this!

I really enjoyed the Fayetteville location so really excited about the new location since it is much closer to me. The restaurant is really nicely decorated, very upscale even though it is in a strip mall. They had been open a couple of days so there was a lot of staff roaming around. We were greeted very warmly and immediately seated at a very nice table. One of the biggest issues in the Fayetteville location was the tables were very close together because space was tight, not the case here. We started with calamari steaks, they were anything but steaks. While very good, there were just a few tiny bites. Really disappointed in the quantity, but they were very good. I then had the salmon in a basil creme. I will order salmon at most upscale restaurants because I really like it and love to see how the chef seasons and cooks it. Because it was sitting in the basil creme, I was not able to really taste the salmon, so not really sure how it was. The sauce it set it was very good, I would rather have the salmon stand alone. My wife had the Caesar salad and the Fruits de Mer Risotto and really liked both. The servers were fairly new but well trained. I am a little more critical than normal here, when I spend $100+ per person I do expect much more. Overall it was a good experience and a great new restaurant for the area. We have really been lacking in good Italian in the area and now we have some very nice ones.

Everything went well! It was absolutely fantastic. You can dress up, casual, date night/girls night or simply treat yourself. You won't be disappointed. The beef tenderloin potatoes and asparagus blew me away

We had high hopes for an intimate dinner but those were quickly shattered. We were there long before the rush, but the bar tender/waiter had NO intention of providing "service". Stuffed mushrooms were bland, Oscar tenderloin was undercooked. They didn't even refill our drinks until we were completely done with dinner. He walked by several times but would not even register we were there. The waiter set the check in front of me (instead of my husband) without even asking if we wanted dessert. We will definitely not return and plan on warning others to avoid this place.

great food. very nice bartender great service Got their early hung out at barHad Cajun pasta great Cream Brulee dessert awesome

Isabella's might be the best meal I have ever eaten. What a memorable night we had. Rob, our waiter was so wonderful to tell us about the dishes. He was excellent. We ordered the Halibut with a delicious sauce that had capers and sun dried tomatoes over polenta. A delicious meal. We had the chocolate crepes with basil ice cream with marinated strawberries and an absolutely to die for chocolate sauce drizzled over the plate with chocolate and vanilla dollops of whipped cream. The dessert was spectacular and more than enough for two. We are definitely raving about this restaurant. The Chef is totally brilliant. We will be back. This is one that won't disappoint. This is FINE DINING AT ITS BEST.

This was are first time here. The Food & Service was vary good. We had a little snafu with our salad & soup. The main course came out before our soup & salad? I don't know how that happened but that is way I don't like ordering the main course before getting the 1st & 2nd course. But it all worked out.Thank for a wonderful evening

Overpriced special menu for the quality and amount of the foods served. Not allowed to pick from regular menu and forced to pay extreme-extra for the holiday. Paid $320 for two but served with half portion of 3 course meal plus dessert from regular menu.3% extra if paying with credit card.

Please check your bill before paying . Our total was 204$ for 3 people. Looking at the receipt, I noticed 30$ large group charge and 4.67$ for a service fee ? unexplained , also 4.72$ for credit card fees . When we asked about the additional fees , the waiter , and manager were apologetic, and removed the 30$ fee , but left the other fees . We asked again to review the fees , or to explain what they were for . They adjusted the bill again and still left the credit card fees. After 25 minutes of back and forth we just paid the 3rd adjusted bill with the card fee and left ( we needed to go meet friends after and were already delayed ) It's a shame , the place is lovely, the food was good, but a restaurant that positions itself as fine dining shouldn't add a card fee, it's tacky . I wish the best success for this restaurant, but we won't be returning .
