    Chicken sandwich.

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

    Deb's pasta
    Alice L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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. ‍

    "Eat Like Italiano at Marcellino"…read more Marcellino Ristorante in Scottsdale is one of those places that's clearly popular for a reason. There was a long wait when we arrived but the staff made it pleasant by bringing out free bruschetta while we waited, which was a nice touch. The ambiance is very Italian--warm, charming, and inviting. They also have outdoor seating, which adds to the whole experience. There was live music that night, and it really set the mood without being overwhelming. I tried two of their non-alcoholic drinks: the rosemary mint lemonade and the hibiscus mango--both refreshing and thoughtfully made. My husband went with a lager beer, which paired well with the food. When we ordered, we were asked if we wanted to try their homemade pasta, and once we heard they have squid ink pasta, my husband didn't hesitate. We ordered it, and wow--it was amazing. The pasta was deeply flavorful, loaded with seafood, and served with lobster meat on the side, which took it to another level. We also ordered the Filetto di Malale--pork tenderloin sautéed with tender asparagus and green peppercorns, finished with a bourbon flambé. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the flaming panna cotta, which was both fun to watch and deliciously sweet. We were also happy to meet the owner-chef, Marcellino Verzino, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this place is absolutely worth visiting if you're looking for authentic Italian dishes here in Arizona. Definitely a spot we would return to.

    One of the best truly authentic Italian restaurants we have visited. I highly recommend!read more

We were on a bit of a time crunch, and they helped us wrap everything up right on schedule. For drinks, I ordered a Cosmo and oh my one of the best cocktails I've had. The flavor was perfectly balanced and so smooth. For appetizers, we tried Emma's dumplings, beet salad, Brussels sprouts, and burrata. They started us off with house-made bread and homemade butter, I could eat that all day. So good! We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing vegetarian options. The Brussels sprouts, beet salad, and Emma's dumplings were definite winners each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. For mains, we ordered the penne vodka. I had high expectations, and while it was good, it was more on the average side compared to everything else. And finally the butter cake for dessert absolutely knocked it out of the park. You could literally taste the butter in every bite, Unreal. Pricing is very reasonable, and overall the service and food were beyond exceptional. We'll definitely be back!

We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff were so sweet to write us a handwritten note, this really started off our night on a good note so props to you guys! As a lemoncello connoisseur, their lemoncello in general was fantastic and the spritz was very refreshing and bright! It makes me very happy to know that they make everything from scratch, including some of their liquors. A little intimidated by the menu, I asked our server what he recommended. He was very knowledgeable and very descriptive when explaining the dishes! I got the short rib pasta, and my boyfriend got the shrimp linguine. This was seriously one of the best pastas that I've ever had! On both of our meals, the protein was just incredible. The shrimp was tender flavorful and I appreciated them keeping the shell on the shrimp it just tasted so fresh! For my short rib, it was just truly incredible. The sauce was rich and flavorful without being too heavy or overwhelming. The short rib just melted. Honestly, in this day and age it's very hard to find places like this in my experience where the service is top-tier. The ambience is welcoming, warm and you can taste the actual care and love that goes into everything that they put out. I look forward to bringing my friends and family to try this gem. In the meantime, I will be forever dreaming about my short rib pasta and lemon cello. Thank you DiMaggio's for making this a wonderful experience!

So it needs to be said up front that diners, including myself, are able to be very picky about italian restaurants around here. I loved the overall vibe, design and decor. There's a big patio with a good sized bar open to the interior, and a bar inside with maybe only 10 seats. I didn't sit at the bar, but did see the bartender in lively banter with everyone there. I'd like to spend a couple hours at that bar sometime inside or out, get some bites and a cocktail. The dining room isn't too big or too small with classic dark walls and red booths, white tablecloths. My favorite. Classy and comfortable. The food was all excellent, very flavorful and perfectly executed. Even parking at DiMaggio's is easy which is rare in Scottsdale. I'm still confused about what kind of restaurant DiMaggio's is - casual or fine dining? On the one hand, the decor is upscale, low lighting, a nice bar, white tablecloths and fine dining prices. At $45, their lasagna is by far the most expensive in town, and their other entrees are all in the mid-$30's to $45, which to me sets a certain expectation. Our service was dismally inattentive, not showing up much, letting drinks sit at the bar too long so they got warm, and letting our pasta sit at the window too long so the cream sauce had a film on it when it arrived. Probably half a dozen workers at all levels just standing around watching things but not doing anything when clearly lots of help was needed, passing our table many times while ignoring my attempt to get their attention for something lacking at my table. When we first met, our server did describe DiMaggio's as casual dining, which would justify any of my complaints, but again $45 entrees? I couldn't take someone I want to impress to DiMaggio's, but also don't want to spend this much for a casual meal. I definitely need to revisit DiMaggio's someday.

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.

We ordered a nice bottle of wine and they brought us some garlic bread. The bread is delicious and a great start. For an appetizer we went with the Oysters Rockefeller which our party of 6 loved. Entrees come with a soup or Sal's house salad. I liked the salad, nice presentation. I had the Chicken Piccata which is my usual go to and it didn't disappoint. It came with a side of green beans, which happens to also be my favorite. My BF enjoyed his Veal Parmigiana. Everyone enjoyed their food. I liked the atmosphere, nice wood decor and being dimly lit adds a sophisticated but still casual vibe. They also have a cool bar area, nice bartenders. We definitely will be back when in town.
