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.

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?

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!

Chicken sandwich.

We absolutely love Isabella's!!! Great food and drinks. We especially love patio and outdoor area.

Can we bring dogs?

Unfortunately our permit from the Maricopa County Health Department does not allow dogs unless they are a service dog. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Amazing hidden gem! Penne vodka was perfect - no complaints. Serving size was good, not too spicy,…read morebut not too bland. Would order again. Sangria - I loved it. My friends thought it could have been more "refreshing" (seems more wine heavy but was still delicious to me!) Bread and garlic butter - A must order. So tasty. Ambiance is a little more upscale, but nothing too crazy. I would say perfect for a date night, nice family dinner etc.. Service was great, everyone very friendly.

We dined at Pasta Brioni last weekend with friends. To be very honest, it was quite disappointing…read more It was a summer Saturday in Phoenix, and the restaurant wasn't very busy, yet we barely got seated and our waiter was rushing us to order. We weren't ready! I think he was disappointed that we were not going to build a big bar tab. Only 2 of us ordered from the bar list. Now to the food. 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.

If you're looking for good Italian food, this is a good contender. This place came highly…read morerecommended and has experienced a significant amount of attraction from social media posts. That is quite evident upon walking into a very small but crowded restaurant. I highly recommend having a reservation because even with one, you will probably have to wait for your table. Our server was Jeremy. He was super helpful in explaining the must have as this was our first time here. You can tell he was definitely honest and passionate. We started with the Crudo of the week, which I believe was Ahi tuna with pomegranate and some type of orange citrus... No real qualms, it was fresh, but kind of fell out a place for the restaurant. Upon Jeremy's recommendation, we got the lasagna and a spicy rigatoni. The lasagna is limited availability so keep that in mind if you're coming specifically for that. However, should the lasagna not be available, just order the spicy rigatoni, you will not be disappointed. The portion sizes here are quite generous, which is fitting for an Italian restaurant. My partner, and I could've easily shared one entrée. In fact, the lasagna is gargantuan. My jaw dropped when I saw it come to the table, it is that massive. Both of the entrées were delicious. It's homestyle comfort food through and through. The spice rigatoni is a very bright acid with the tomato sauce complemented by a slight heat from the Calabrian chili, and all brought together with perfect Al dente rigatoni and sweet, Italian sausage. The lasagna was meaty, rich, and heavy, but in a satisfying way. Definitely one of the better lasagnas I've had at a restaurant. As far as drinks go, I had two glasses of Sangiovese, which were pretty fairly priced, and my partner had two cocktails, which were a bit more on the expensive side. He liked them, but didn't love them. The smoked old-fashioned is kind of what they're known for in the drink department. We received a complementary tiramisu as we were celebrating an anniversary, and it was very charming. Definitely very rich and creamy, not so much espresso and very light on the lady fingers. All in all, we spent around 191 before tip, which is what we expected. You definitely get the impression it's a neighborhood spot, but not neighborhood prices..if that makes sense. You can dress it up or down, but the entrées were definitely on the expensive side for what the atmosphere sells itself as. That being said, I am eager to come back and explore the menu a bit more. Entrées were fabulous.

My Italian friend recommended Uncle Sal's as an authentic Italian spot -- so I had to go on that…read morerecommendation and I definitely thought the food was good. 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.

Visited a few times, it's a classic Italian restaurant with a great menu and welcoming atmosphere…read morewith amazing staff and even better food! On this trip we had a margarita pizza, chicken parm, and a side of meatballs, we also had a Caesar salad. Everything was 10/10 the freshness of each dish is present in the rich flavors, the freshest basil I've ever had on a pizza and as I love tons of it! The tomato sliced thin so it took in some heat and charred just a bit. The crust is like nothing I've ever had almost like focaccia bread but thinner the perfect crispiness. Now this chicken parm, it's huge we split it and left with 1/2! Comes with angel hair marinara and green beans, it's crisp but with a light breading and yet it's fully breaded again not like any chicken parm I've had, the angel hair marinara is super flavorful for a simple side plus buttery net not oil green beans. I'm not sure how they do it but I'll go back as many times I can
