Hadn't really had a good Italian dinner in Burbank for a while now. Family and I thought we give this place a try and we weren't disappointed! The kid sized spaghetti with meat sauce and fettuccine options were perfect for our children. I had the Chicken Marsala which was very good! I liked the mushroomy/wine flavor of the sauce and the tenderness of the chicken. read more

Complimentary bread which I enjoyed a lot. There is flavor and is served hot. Isabella salad is okay. I will probably pass on it. Chicken pesto was my favorite!! It isn't served as the typical chicken pesto dish. The chicken were cut into small pieces and the sauce is creamy and delicious. Homey atmosphere with welcoming service. Small parking lot on the side or street parking is available. read more

Cute unassuming Italian restaurant in a neighborhood corner of Burbank. A lot of good flavors, their broccoli alone is delicious! Pink sauce was a hit, and the chicken, breaded or fried was perfectly tender. Good service, love the mom and pop vibe here. Only downside is the bathroom is outside and around the back. Wouldn't stop me from going there again though! Would love to try other popular dishes they have. The Romano was the bomb. read more

Isabella's is easy to locate on Burbank and Mariposa. The service was very friendly and felt like being a guest in someone's home for dinner. The menu is affordable and doesn't try too hard. The space is clean with plenty of seating. The Chicken Saltimbocca was tasty, but I'd request extra mushrooms next time. I'd return for lasagna and pizza. read more

Needed to fuel up before ikea. My friend was craving Italian, so i found this place on yelp and we gave it a go. Cute little joint. The staff were friendly and the food was great. The chicken for my romano was breaded perfectly and the pink sauce was so good. My friends left no crumbs on his plate, so i assume he enjoyed it as well. read more

Isabella's Italian Kitchen - Chicken Isabella and Chicken Romano. Both delish. - Italian Near Me - Burbank, California

This place is legit! Home style, no frills and hearty portions. I had the chicken Romano and it was divine! The chicken was perfectly crispy and fresh, no ick at all. The fresh focaccia bread was warm and tasty and had a slight crunch. My parents are hard to please and they loved it too. My sister got the baked manicotti and it was packed with flavor and ooey gooey cheese. Keep this place in business read more

Stumbled upon this classic Italian Kitchen while driving around looking for a restaurant while waiting for evening rush hour to clear off the freeway. Passed by it and had to turn around and go back and so glad we did. The food, ambiance, and service are all top notch. It's a bit like stepping into the set of an old movie where families are enjoying a dinner while that wait staff attends their needs. The pizza is really good the the lasagna was finished in its entirety. Desert topped off the night with a rich tiramisu that brought that complete feel after a good meal. It's a family place with reasonable prices and parking too. They were full the entire time we were there but somehow everyone seemed to know each other and make it all work out. Quick dinner during the week, date night out, or a I happened to find you tonight; these kind of places are what make living in LA so cool! read more

I heard this was a Burbank hidden gem and now I know why. The ambiance gives old school mom and pops vibes. The customer service is really friendly and helpful. The food is the highlight of the whole experience and delicious. We ended up getting a bbq chicken pizza, salad, lasagna, ice cream and tiramisu. The pizza and lasagna were very light and tasted fresh. The bbq in the pizza was not too sweet or overpowering the other ingredients. The desserts were good as well but tiramisu stood out. It was delicious and very light. Probably one of the best iv ever had. The biggest surprise was how affordable everything was. One salad, pizza, lasagna, 2 drinks, ice cream and tiramisu all came to a total of $57 (tax included) If you're in the area definitely check them out read more

Love the Old Style Italian Restaurant Look, Very comfortable and the Italian Food is Incredible!

I'm from the East Coast and I'm Italian and this place is literally "The Italian Restaurant I've been searching for in California for 25 Years". Nobody ever knows what Baked Lasagna is, but Isabella's does! People Over Charge for Lousy Food, and Isabella's prices are great with food that's even better! Server was super sweet and I love the basic tables and no frills vibe. This place is a GEM! read more

This was much better than I expected. While the ambience was not really there and the air conditioner wasn't really working the day I visited, it had decent lasagna. Think checkered tables. The breadsticks were dry, but the Lasagna was delicious with plenty of sauce and cheese on top. Service was fine, as I was at one of three occupied tables. Parking is mostly street parking. read more

We realized the last time we were here was 7 years since we were here last. We ordered and were served with bread with olice oil and balsamic. The bread was good. Our Italian Salad was also good. Diced into smaller pieces, which is how I like it. The Mushroom Pizza was also done perfectly. Crispy crust and good earthy mushroom flavor. The Chicken Picatta was tasty, seasoned just right. I just wish it was breaded chicken. It tasted great, but looked like boiled chicken. Finally the Tiramisu was also wonderful. It was probably our favorite dish of the meal. The staff were attentive and helpful. Overall, it was a decent experience. read more

Found the idyllic little Italian restaurant. And I mean little, but cozy and authentic. Nothing fancy or pretentious. Just good homemade Italian food. Found by accident but will be going out of our way to enjoy again, and again. Parking is a premium, by the way, but there is some street parking. FYI Cheers! read more

This place is so good! I ordered take out: mostaccioli with minestrone soup and bread. Everything was so delicious. I can't wait to try the eggplant. The staff both on the phone and in person were very nice. The inside was super cute and wish I had the time to dine in. I look forward to next time! read more

Great food and prices. Often gets crowded on Saturdays which is a good indication of a good restaurant. Support your local businesses!

Stopped by this little restaurant after a rainy day at the zoo. The food was excellent. I had the eggplant parmigiana. My friend had the sausage and peppers. Both were delicious. Eggplant was the favorite hands down. The server was very attentive. We sat in the front area so we could talk. It was very cozy. I will definitely be back! read more

Had outstanding chicken Alfredo!! Great tasting food! Pizza was also very good. Small place but they have great tasting food.

The most important thing, the food, when they first opened up this place was amazing. As time has gone by they are getting worse than worst.. Their portions are smaller. The food is not good and that bread that was amazing at the beginning is no longer. read more

My wife and I have been driving by Isabella's for years, but never stopped. We finally did and now regret the years we could have been eating here! It's a neighborhood joint with a family-friendly vibe offering everything you want on an Italian menu, plus table bread. We ordered Minestrone, Antipasto Salad, Chicken Isabella, Calzone, and Tiramisu. All good! We'll push our luck and try the lasagna and gnocchi next time. Definitely stop by! read more

Decided to try Isabella's kitchen since I was craving Lasagna! I was sure I would be disappointed but decided to go. I was busy picking up my jaw off the floor when my food got to my table. I was speechless at the perfection of the food! Last time I ate a phenomenal lasagna was in Italy many years ago. In my 40 years in America I haven't had a good lasagna anywhere let alone a spectacular lasagna like this. The restaurant itself reminded me of Nona's kitchen in Italy eating at her table on the patio. The distinct old home smell when you enter is nostalgic and although needing a facelift I felt very comfortable taking in the nostalgia and reminiscing of my time in Italy. This is going to be my new haunt when my heart cries for Italy! read more

When you're here you're family...no, wait, that's the other place. However, this place actually looks like a family home, located right on the edge of a residential area on a relatively quiet stretch of Burbank boulevard. Blink...and you'll miss the best Italian food around. They don't really have a website (until sometime last year) nor are they available on any delivery apps. The first time I ordered, I had to look at a grainy picture of the menu on Yelp. Somehow, thanks to old school word of mouth, this place has persisted and thrived. Ordering is simple and straight forward, call, place your order, and you go in about 30-40 minutes depending on if they're busy. Everything is reasonably priced and you get what you pay for, which is excellent food. Due to the times we currently live in, we order our meals to go and it was some of the best comfort food we had during some darkest days. Everything is packaged so nice and neat and it's the perfect thing to bring home to your actual family. Here's what we always get and you should too: The Caesar Salad: You know you're in for a treat when there's a warning about raw eggs since that usually means the dressing is authentic and made in house. The dressing is delicious and hits all the notes you want...peppery, creamy, tangy, zesty, and cheesy. On crispy romaine with shaved parm and croutons, it's a meal in itself. Chicken Gorgonzola: Maybe the best thing on the menu and it's the dish that drew me in first. Two of the most tender, perfectly cooked chicken cutlets you'll get on bed of sauteed spinach, swimming in a gorgonzola cream sauce. The sauce is creamy and funky thanks to the cheese and once you toss in the pasta, it's a great plate of food. If I had one complaint about this place, the portion servings aren't as big as other Italian places. They don't give you enough for a meal tomorrow...but then again, you're probably gonna eat the whole thing in one sitting anyway. If you happen to finish all the pasta and chicken and you're left with just sauce, the focaccia that comes with your meal is the perfect way to sop all of that cream sauce up. It's crispy and chewy, not the big fluffy squares other places have. Texturally, it's better cause it offers a nice crunch with your saucy pasta dishes. Chicken Alfredo: This is my Mom's go to and it's an excellent baseline of any Italian place. There's not much to say about this dish other than it's excellent and I prefer it to the red sauce dishes. Occasionally we'll get the shrimp alfredo and it comes with a few big pieces of shrimp. We haven't strayed far from these few options and there are times when my girlfriend and I would rather order two orders of the chicken gorgonzola rather than branch out and try new things. We've had the pesto and it's good, but not my cup of...pesto. It's oilier than what I prefer, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. We got it with the gnocchi and that dish just didn't hit as well with us. It's possible it doesn't hold as well to go than having it there. Overall, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot in town and Burbank is flush with delicious, authentic Italian options. If you wanna support a great, local business, with really good food, Isabella's is the place to go. read more

Horrible experience. Ate here a couple times before and had good food. This last time was a disaster. I found a piece of plastic/glass in my calzone. I almost cut my mouth. I called the restaurant and they said a manager would be in touch. I still have not heard from them. Please be careful if you eat here. read more

My chicken marsala was just so-so. Also, I don't think there was a bathroom for customers and they were slow to refill our waters.

Arrived late afternoon and it wasn't very crowded which was good because it is a small eating area. Service was good and quick. Ordered the chicken Marsala and side salad. Salad was fine just a standard type. The chicken was cooked just right and the sauce had good flavor and no skimping on the mushrooms. The side of pasta with oil and garlic was good. The pasta seemed to be fresh. Also ordered the lasagna, which was still bubbling when it came to the table. Very good flavor with just the right amount of cheese on it. Out of the two I think the lasagna was the better dish. Like the focaccia bread that was brought to the table. It is a small place but worth the stop and one of the few places you can get dinner before 5 pm. read more

Food is GREAT and for the price it's even better. You can get a meal for 2 people for around $30 and that's perfect! Our waitress was also great and che ked on us multiple times and getting our check was super fast also. It seems like everywhere restaurant I go to I'd have to wait the longest for the check but here you don't have to worry about that. It is a little bit warm inside the restaurant but not enough to feel uncomfortable read more

Finding authentic yet classic Italian food in LA is hard but Isabella's delivered. Each pasta we ordered hit the spot and we got warm bread with our meal. Nothin wowed us being the best thing ever but if you're missing east coast Italian Isabella's is perfect. Service was very quick and our waitress is friendly. Inside is a little outdated, very mom and pop, and did not have AC - fair warning on hot days. Would definitely come back anytime I'm craving Italian. read more

Cozy spot for no-frill Italian food. They bring out complimentary focaccia triangles, nice and warm. Then I devoured spaghetti and meatballs. Pasta sauce was fresh and meatballs tasty, generous size. Would recommend for neighborhood Italian in Burbank. Parking was also pretty easy with the side streets on a Saturday. read more

So sad. You use to make a get Alfredo sauce. It had the perfect blend of cream, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic. It now tastes like a watered down version of just cream, sprinkled with pepper, and a sprinkle of cheese. I will not be ordering in the future. read more

We've now been here twice and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times. As folks who frequent the Olive Garden, I can wholeheartedly say that this place is far superior. Thought that shouldn't come as a shock because Olive Garden is, as the kids say, very "mid", I just feel like decently priced pasta dishes that are also consistently tasty are hard to come by. They have a large menu with lots of options and give you a basket of fresh focaccia bread for the table. The best part about the restaurant is that it's very calm and laid back. In the craziness that is Burbank and Los Angeles, this place is an oasis. The service is good and it feels like a hole in the wall you'd see on the East Coast. Found a new go-to! We got the Chicken Romano and the Manicotti and both were delicious. HUGE portions so think about getting a couple and splitting them! read more
