Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Battery Park City

My family came from out of town for Thanksgiving and we decided to role the dice on eating out. We heard horror stories. We made the mistake of not including our kids as guest for the reservation and we thought our nightmare had begun. But the hostess made an exception and it was all uphill from there. From the ambiance to the service to the food, everything was seriously perfect. I never write reviews and this place made me take the time and write one. Every manager, every server, everyone was happy to be there, even on Thanksgiving. They really made it so welcoming and inviting. Every interaction was memorable it was insane. And don’t get me started on the food. O.M.G. This place was a blessing and for thanksgiving we were thankful for each team member, the food, and overall experience. We will be back!!!!!

The food was great, I got the Italia with Ragu sauce! The service was great too, they were very attentive and were always ready to assist. the price for what I got was good. it’s a small restaurant, so I definitely recommend making a reservation, but it’s super cute and not too loud. 

Food was excellent. Service was great.... waitpeople were very attentive. Overall A+

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!

I have been here several times and the food, service, atmosphere and overall experience is consistently awesome. The prices are actually reasonable for NYC which makes it even better. I will continue to come back during the week and on the weekends when there is a nice party vibe later in the night.
