    Delicious beet salad with chicken.
    Sharon B.

    Love the relaxed outdoor atmosphere at Isabella's. Our party of for all enjoyed our meals. I had the beef salad, my husband had tacos, when I had the steak salad and another person had the ravioli. Everyone raved about their meals. The service was great! One of the most enjoyable things about the restaurant was that we sat outside and watched the beautiful sunset.

    Deb's pasta

    Our first time at Isabella's was a busy Saturday night - we had a reservation at 6 and were seated right away indoors. We started with the mixture of Italian olives and shrimp ceviche. Both were delicious. The olives were classic and the shrimp ceviche was light and fresh. I opted for the twisted chicken Parm. Boy was the portion size huge! The chicken was cooked great - not dry at all and the pasta was perfectly al dente. It was even topped with lots of creamy burrata. My husband ordered Deb's pasta and thought it was delicious as well. It was pretty rich with the creamy Parmesan sauce. We both had leftovers to bring home! We'll definitely be back to try some other dishes!

    Amazing sunset views setting over the golf course, chill patio vibes, and great pizza. Perfect spot for a date night!

    I have been to this restaurant many times and every time, I leave wanting to come back. I always love sitting on the patio, looking out over the golf course while the sun goes down. I went the other night for my best friends birthday and we had the most amazing time. We had a large party and we were able to get a reservation on the patio by the fire. It was our own private little space which was great since we had lots of gifts and grandparents with us. All of the drinks, appetizers, and food came out timely and delicious. My only complaint was how strong my espresso martini was. It was so strong I did not end up drinking it. We got the brussel sprouts and they were perfectly cooked and had a delicious sauce on the side. Multiple people at the table got the Lasagna and Debs Pasta and both were a hit! The lasagna is great for sharing.

    Gluten free Margherita Pizza

    Isabella's was recommended by my friend so we tried it on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't very busy but we were a group of 4 adults and two children so we were initially seated outside around the fire pit. It had been raining for days so we asked if the furniture would be dry and they said yes. After sitting for a few minutes, our clothes unfortunately got wet so although the seats seemed dry at first, they weren't so we were moved to another table, also outside. There are heaters, so it was comfortable to hang out outside despite the cold. The menu had pretty good options but we weren't super hungry so we just ordered a couple of appetizers and a personal pizza. We ordered the focaccia bread and fried calamari as well as a personal size gluten free margarita pizza. Calamari was great. Crispy batter and not chewy. The dipping sauce was also delicious. The focaccia was not great. It was dense and chewy, not what you would expect for focaccia which is usually light and the dough is full of bubbles prior to baking. It was more like a slightly undercooked cake. The seasoning on it however was delicious. The pizza was great! if I didn't know it was gluten free, I wouldn't be able to tell just based on taste. It was a thin and crispy and the cheese and sauce were really tasty. Prices were ok overall and service was pretty good and attentive. The views while sitting outside are beautiful. You can see the golf course nearby and lots of green grass everywhere. It's definitely a nice spot worth trying.

    I really like the ambiance of Isabella's Kitchen. It's a gorgeous restaurant. The outside patio and grass is perfect for kids and families to enjoy or relax and eat. The environment is the most family friendly I've seen. The drinks were nice as well. Unfortunately, I thought the food was somewhat bland and a good amount of people in our party did not like their dishes. While our server was very nice, it did feel as if we were neglected. Food came at all different times and very late for some people. They were quite late to take any food orders and never checked that we had silverware, drinks, etc.

    We love Isabella's! Its near my parents place in Arizona, so we always pay Isabella's a visit when we're in town. We've been coming for years, but now that we have a toddler it's even more fun. Isabella's has a beautiful lawn overlooking the golf course and in the evenings it such a fun spot to bring the kiddos to run around. It is extremely family friendly (especially between 5 and 7:30pm)! The servers are all great. Whether it be a large group or lots of kiddos, they always are on top of it and very friendly. My go-to drink is typically a spicy margarita -- it's always got a great kick to it. The wagyu burger is my favorite, it's topped with cheddar, arugula, caramelized onions, roasted mushrooms, and garlic aioli. The menu can be a little hit or miss, but this is a great one! Isabella's is awesome. Can't wait to be back in Arizona to pay them another visit.

    On their website it says open 11-10pm  Why don't they answer their phone between 9pm and 9:30pm ? Does the kitchen close at 9pm?
    Jimi J.

    I made 9 calls to Isabell's Kitchen starting at 9:22pm. Every single time it went to voice mail. My last call was at 9:22pm when I finally gave up. Maybe I'm wrong but it says on their website they close at 10pm. Very disappointing that Isabella's Kitchen ignores customers who are trying to order a meal before they close. It doesn't say on their website website that the kitchen closes at 9pm I guess they don't the business now that the snowbirds are here and the locals who eat there in the summer are ignored. Well I guess I won't eat there during the summer season.

    We had a wedding rehearsal dinner here and the staff, the food,the locale could not have been a more perfect beginning for my son and his beautiful wife. The staff was beyond amazing. I cant recommend it enough, oh and the lasagna (catering) was so good we are still talking about it!

    Am I at Outback or Isabella's? Bring back the old vibe! I walked in and had to do a double take... am I at Outback waiting on a Bloomin' Onion, or at Isabella's on the golf course? The staff here is awesome -- seriously, they're the reason people keep coming back. But this new uniform change? I honestly hope it's a practical joke and they go back to the old attire soon. Isabella's has always had a relaxed, golf course vibe -- not a country club and definitely not an average steakhouse. The black pants, Izzy's t-shirts, and hats looked clean, modern, and fit the setting perfectly. Now the poor team's stuck in jeans and white button-ups (complete with marinara stains), while managers are in golf shirts and slacks -- which actually look on point. Please bring back the old uniforms! Going there should be fun, relaxed versus stuffy and the team walking around with visible stained shirts. ‍

    Sooo cute! The servers and staff were super friendly and accommodating and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute place to go eat with friends!

We stated with the calamari and the whipped eggplant. Calamari had a unique dip but the star of the night was for sure the whipped eggplant. I have never had anything like it before... literally so obsessed. I got the truffle pasta and soppressata pizza as a main. Definitely is enough food for 2 I just wanted to try a bunch of different options. Truffle was kind of a miss for me. I wasn't a fan of the butter base for the pasta sauce. The pizza on the other hand was delicious! It came with an infused pizza oil to add some spice which was a nice touch. We finished off with the pistachio dessert. I couldn't get much pistachio flavor but it was DELICIOUS. Highly highly recommend if it is on the menu

We started with the whipped feta and arancini. The whipped feta was a friend's recommendation and was delicious. I could do without the sweet sauce added to it though. The arancini were the best I've ever had with the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We opted for a surf and turf vibe with the New York strip steak and chile shrimp. The steak had great flavor but the shrimp...WOW, so freaking good. I'm still dreaming about the pasta with the shrimp. They were the most perfectly cooked and seasoned noodles ever. Will literally be going back for this alone. For dessert we tried the tiramisu and flourless chocolate torte. The tiramisu was creamy but lacked a stronger coffee taste that I prefer. The torte was my favorite of the two. You would almost not be able to tell it's flourless, just as creamy and delicious as you would want! We also tried a cocktail that was their version of a lemon drop. It tasted like fresh lemon but not as sour as I prefer a lemon drop to be. Still smooth and delicious!

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more EVO - Old Town 4175 N Goldwater Blvd Scottsdale, 85251 It's Restaurant Week again, so it was time to partake of new places to eat. EVO was on the list of places to eat, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. We were seated immediately and were offered menus and libations. We chose glasses of Trapiche Malbec which is a very soft and delicious wine. While the Restaurant Week menu was very nice, we decided to order off the regular menu. For myself, Poblano Chicken Rigatoni, and for companion Fennel Sausage Pasta. Ask any Italian restaurant if they know how to cook pasta, and they will all say they are experts. Most of them would be telling a lie. This place is expert in how to cook pasta. It's rare that I have been served properly cooked pasta, but tonight was the night that I finally got it. Perfectly cooked al dente with a lovely sauce that wasn't too thin and watery. Companion agreed that the pasta was wonderful. Due to a small mix up in the order, the Calamari (Frito Misto) was brought to the table late, but we made a valiant effort to devour some of it. While I did not care for the sauces that accompanied it, they would have only masked the excellent flavor and cooking of the dish, which only needed a sprinkle of salt and nothing else. It too was perfectly cooked. For dessert, we ordered the Butter Cake at the beginning of the meal since it takes 20 minutes to cook it. If I ate nothing else in the restaurant, this would be my choice! Swimming in a pool of Creme Anglais, was a beautifully carmelized cake with a sliced strawberry on top and pieces of raspberry in the sauce. It was magnificent and as stuffed as we were, we managed to finish it.

We've eaten at this place many many times over the years. And returned because the food and service were excellent. However this time, our food was far from what we expected, and the waiter seemed like he wished he were anywhere else but there! The appetizer ordered was so haphazardly put on the plate, and was also not tasty. My husband's salmon was thin and dry. I don't think this place has seen any updating since it opened. Currently, it feels dank and dirty with no signs of welcoming any changes. It's always sad to see the neglect of management/investors in not protecting their stock in trade- their reputation and respect for their customers.

I did go on a first date here and maybe not as romantic as I would have liked -- much more of a family vibe -- or in the bar area was all about sports. It wasn't too loud so that was good since we were doing a lot of talking, LOL. It was a Saturday night and my date had made a reservation but it looked like we could have easily gotten a table without one. There is a parking lot but couldn't tell if it was easy parking because we took an Uber since we were drinkiing. I started with an espresso martini and I would give it a 4/10 -- I think the espresso used was low quality because it wasn't my favorite. My date got a whiskey old fashioned and he liked it. Service was pretty good -- it was a busy Saturday night. I wanted to order a glass of wine with my meal but the server was gone for some time so my date had to flag her down. I ordered the halibut with crab on top and the server recommended a white wine to pair -- I thought it was an usual suggestion but went with it -- she didn't even suggest which white - so I went with a Sav Blanc and it was actually quite good -- I didn't catch the name. We started with some shrimp cocktail and that was pretty good, sauce was tasty. The halibut was actually quite good and cooked to perfection - the crab on top was really good too -- it came on a bed of linguini which was too much -- I didn't really eat that. My date had the filet special with a lobster sauce -- it looked really rich and the portion was huge! He couldn't even eat it all. Overall I enjoyed my meal, I was quite full when we left, LOL! I didn't catch how much the total cost was but I think it had to have been at least $200 -- so definitely some dough will be dropped! But for a special occasion it is worth it.
