      Ducked-In for dinner not knowing that Isabella's requires reservations. The manager was very accommodating and let us be seated for a late-night meal.
      The ambiance was just what we like:
      cozy and dimly lit ... very romantic! Our waitress was excellent and knew the entrees so well that she could tell us which were extra high in sodium, which my husband has to watch. I had the best lasagna that I've ever had! We will definitely be returning, after remembering to make reservations.

      After hearing all the hype about this place we decided to spend our anniversary there with a nice dinner. I ordered the seafood over linguine special. It was good, but a little bland. It came with soup or salad and we had the wedding soup, which was very good. It also came with 1 piece of bread that was cut in half and served with butter or dipping oil. My husband ordered the
      cavatelli with meat balls and marinara. He said it was quite bland and the meatballs were
      tough. (Like there wasn't anything in them but meat.)Our waitress was attentive. We just were a little disappointed as we heard it was the best around! We didn't feel that way.

      We moved to this area a couple years ago and have always talked about trying Isabella's Bistro. Yesterday we finally got the chance. 6 of us went after playing a fun day of golf. You notice the very clean establishment as you walk in and are greeted by a pleasant hostess. One had the eggplant parmigiana which she really enjoyed while another had the veal parmigiana which he liked also. One had the bolognese which looked amazing and he obviously liked it because there was nothing left. One had the shrimp and chicken special of the day which he said was very good. Two of us had the chicken piccata and it also did not disappoint. I can say this.. We will be back!

      Great Italian food. Small business so I recommend reservations. Never had a bad meal and always have leftovers.

      We were really expecting more after reading all the reviews. Our appitizer of baked stuffed clams were pretty uninspiring to say the least. We were a little nervous about our entrees after having the baked clams. Both of our entrées were the same. We both ordered the seafood combo with a spicy red sauce. To our surprise both of our entrees were served piping hot. Shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection and the sauce was very good. Pretty spicy I would say, but to both of our liking. I would return for that dish, it was that good. Service was good and I would give it a three out of five for the ambiance.
