Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Isabella's is a charming Italian restaurant in Boston's North End offering a "cozy" ambiance and "excellent food and service." Guests rave about the "authentic Italian cuisine" and attentive staff. While the space is intimate, making reservations essential, the "outstanding" dishes like chicken parmigiana and lobster ravioli make it a must-visit spot.

    Best Italian food we’ve had since moving from NYC 10 years ago. Eggplant parm excellent. Meatball appetizer excellent. Burata excellent. Service great. Love this restaurant and it has already become my favorite in Boston. Also a very easy walk from north station.

    Pasta felt as if it had been frozen multiple times before used. Gnocchi was just a ball of dough. Margarita seemed to be made with a mix and was terrible.

    Dined at Isabella’s last night with my husband, son and daughter. Everything - the service, atmosphere and the food (oh the food!!) were fantastic! We were fortunate enough to have the table in the window which was charming and fun. We started with calamari which was perfectly golden and delicious. I had the veal parm and others had the lobster ravioli, pasta bolognese, and the gnocchi. Each of us loved our meals and the portion sizes were quite generous. We will absolutely be returning!

    We loved Isabella. The staff, service, food and atmosphere were all wonderful. We were in town to attend a conference and myself and two friends celebrated our last night in Boston and a birthday at Isabella.

    Cozy, unpretentious restaurant with good-sized, tasty offerings. We ordered the Cod and the Gnocchi , both of which were delicious! Tiramisu was "okay" but nothing to write home about. Reasonably priced for this day and age!

    We were so rushed out of there. No one waiting but kitchen and staff wanted to close up and leave early!

    We showed up to the reservation on time, in fact 5 minutes early. The host was quite rude upon our arrival. He said it was “unfair” we made a reservation at the time we did, even though I made it 15 minutes in advance through open table. We felt uncomfortable due to the rude service but decided we would get an appetizer some drinks and then leave. We then sat for an app but they said they didn’t do apps only. So we decided to leave. We paid for our one sip of water. Terrible experience. If there are time slots available on this app, then I would assume that time is available….

    Best meal I have had in a long time. Everything we ordered was amazing...mussels, scallops and burratta appetizers; pasta and meatballs, chicken cacciatore and seafood fra diavlo as mains and dessert. Service was great. Cute place! Would 100% go back.

    Another great “pregame” meal at Isabella. Service is always excellent - food is consistently excellent.
