Everything was spot on for our dinner at Isabella’s. We were made to feel so welcome by everyone from servers to bussers to maitre d - even a trainee spotted a concern and immediately offered assistance. The food was excellent and generous for the price point in Manhattan. Stand outs were the roasted beets and endive salad. The homemade pasta was also cooked perfectly - al dente but not too much so. We will be back!

The hosts were rude. We arrived on time for our reservation but had to wait 35 minutes to be seated. When we were finally shown to our table, the host was unfriendly and gave us an odd setup—a round and a straight table combined. I had booked this for my wife’s birthday and even mentioned it, but they didn’t do anything special. Overall, a terrible experience. I wouldn’t recommend going here.

I was really surprised at how good this place was, being as no one I know had ever really heard of it. It is a Gem to be sure. We were able to get a table for 5 at 7pm on a Friday a week or so in advance, which made me wonder why...but everything was delicious! To start we shared burrata, octopus, cauliflower and tune tartar - all were fantastic especially the cauliflower. Mains were the tagliatelle with bolognese (best Ive had maybe?), cacio pepe (great), branzino (weakest link but still fine) and the pork chop milanese (brilliant). The budino for dessert was terrific. Service was tough to do well in the noise, but the pace was great, the service squad moving like a machine, and the guests all seemed to be having a great time. Prices were not silly. No question we will go back - and you should try it if you havent.
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on November 11, 2024
Marston, thank you for sharing your fantastic review of Isabelle's Osteria! We're thrilled you and your group enjoyed our culinary offerings, from the burrata to the pork chop milanese. Our team takes pride in providing a seamless dining experience. It's wonderful to know we left such a positive impression, and we eagerly await your return for another delightful evening. -Isabelle's team

Overall, the dining experience was excellent. The food was great! However, my guest ordered a Cosmo, which was not like a Cosmo, so they tried again, and that was also not good. The waitress offered a different drink on the house, and the Negroni was fine.
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on November 4, 2024
Gerald, thank you for your 5-star review! We're pleased to know your dining experience was excellent and enjoyed our cuisine. Our team is grateful that we had the chance to make it right by offering the Negroni, and we appreciate your understanding.

we had an AMAZING dinner, truly one of the best but we had to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation but they were “overbooked”. kept saying every 15 minutes it shouldn’t take long but other than that it was great

Lovely ambience, service very slow, had to call over waiter to get service and also ask him about specials, he never came back to check on us or see if we wanted anything else, asked the bus boy for more water & another cocktail & then a different waiter came & got it for us & then had to ask hostess to get our check so we wound up not having coffee or dessert which he never bothered to ask us if we wanted anyway. The food was good we had the branzino & the salmon & a delicious endive salad. Lots of restaurants in the area so not sure if I would bother going back unless they improved the service.
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on November 4, 2024
Frances, we're glad to hear you enjoyed our branzino, salmon, and endive salad, but we're truly sorry the service wasn't up to par. Guest satisfaction is our priority, and attentive service is key. We would love the opportunity to make things right. Please call us so we can address your concerns further. Thank you. -Isabelle's team
