We really enjoyed our early dinner here. The service was impeccable and the food was fresh and cooked to perfection. We had calamari, artichoke hearts, carbonara, Caesar salad, salmon and steak. We enjoyed and would recommend them all.

Located in South Lake Tahoe we had a delicious meal. Restaurant is attractive tables and booths are comfortable. Our meals were delivered I had scallops and shrimp risotto. There is a wine list but no alcohol. Our waiter was excellent just a wonderful dining experience. Prices are reasonable as well.

Good choice of Italian fare. Unexpectedly they give you bread and oil/ balsamic dip at no extra charge. Our server, Jonathan, was polite and charming.

Quaint Italian restaurant with a nice selection of pastas and entrees. I had the shrimp capellini and would have given them five stars except the shrimp was a bit overdone. The dish was well flavored and refreshing. The service was excellent and although we didn't partake this time they did have a nice selection of wine and other drinks. If you are looking for a more authentic Italian dinner, this would definitely be worth a visit.

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed. Both sauces on our main courses were very watery. My wife had eggplant parmesan on pasta, and I had the mixed seafood on fettucine. The olive oil was premixed with spices and balsamic vinegar (I don't like balsamic) and was overly spiced, which we found inappropriate. We didn't stay for dessert, even though the dessert menu looked interesting.

Rick introduced himself as our server when we sat down and explained the specials. Shortly after Greg came by and said he was going to be our server instead of Rick. Greg was efficient, but didn't seem as playful as Rick had been. We started off with the smoked Gouda polenta. It came as 4 cubes topped with 3 different sauces: lemon butter, basil pesto, and spicy marinara. Then we ordered the lasagna and chicken saltimbocca with risotto. Halfway through we swapped plates so we could have a little of each. It was all delicious, full of flavor, large portions, and the oil dip for the foccicia bread has not just herbs, but balsamic. We ordered cheesecake for dessert to go since we were so stuffed. We haven't tried it yet, but if it is anything like the dinner it will be amazing.

We had a great experience at Isabella. Their food and service exceed our expectations. Highly recommend trying the shrimp Capellini and linguine with clams. Definitely onr of the best Italian restaurants around.

Service was great and food was excellent. Visiting from San Diego and it’s now one of our faves! Will be here every year!

Kyle was a wonderful waiter, the food was amazing

Excellent plating. The marsala was delicious. Save room for their excellent desserts.
