We went to Isabella's in Yucaipa for an early Father's Day dinner and had a really great meal. Between our table, we ordered the veggie lasagna, seafood linguine, pesto chicken pasta, a vodka sauce pasta, and one of the chef's specials. It's rare that everyone orders something different and every dish is a hit, but that was definitely the case. The seafood linguine was loaded with seafood, the pesto chicken pasta was creamy and flavorful, and the veggie lasagna was excellent. The vodka sauce pasta was also really good, and there were no leftovers to take home. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family dinner. We never felt rushed and were able to relax and enjoy our time together. We'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a good local Italian restaurant in Yucaipa, Isabella's is worth a visit. Highly recommend. read more

Great looking restaurant that feels Italian the moment you walk in. They have inside and outside seating and a faint sound of music in the background. We were greeted and seated quickly upon entering. Service was great as was the food. The special was salmon which was delicious. The spaghetti was a mountain full and had a good taste. The lasagna was very good as well as was the house red wine and blush wine. Overall it was a really good experience and worth a try. The only negative is that they do add a surcharge for paying with a card. read more

Another disappointment. We tried this place early on a Saturday evening. Ambiance and decor were nice and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, that's where it ended as the food, while plentiful, was not good. We ordered mozzarella sticks, soup, and salads to start, and we were served a giant, cold, unseasoned roll with cold hard butter. The mozzarella sticks appeared/tasted like frozen, we received 4 total, with a bland marinara sauce. When our entrees arrived they were screaming hot, but the chicken Parmesan was pounded paper thin with the same bland sauce, and overly browned cheese on top. We won't be back. Our 4 entrees, 1 upcharged salad, 1 app, and no drinks were $200 with tip. Way too much for lack luster pasta. Looking forward to trying Mamma Mia's. read more

The service and the food and the atmosphere. Bellisimo!! We were so happy to go there and the food is as good as it was when they were in Redlands. More upscale than other restaurants. Great service!! read more

Food. The salad had not one topping Eggplant was not breaded. Thin slices Small portion served with a side of green beans. Red sauce tasted like it was out of a can. Terrible read more

Best pasta in the area. Always great service. Wonderful ambience. Excellent wines.

The ambiance was beautiful but the service and the food was not good. The food was extremely bland and the seafood was overcooked. I barely ate any of my food, my Togo box was completely full. I told my waitress, which was the manager I came to find out, about the food quality and all she said was "oh you should've told me". She did not offer a discount or anything. We unfortunately won't be back. On the other hand, the host was extremely attentive, hardworking, and sweet. read more

So excited to have this spot in town! Quiet and slow on a Tuesday night. Seating is limited so I can imagine it filling up on a weekend night. Service was phenomenal. Server was very kind and attentive. Beer only comes bottled. Complimentary bread and soup or salad with every meal. Pastas are plentiful and flavorful. Protein costs extra and would recommend adding it. Great experience overall. read more

My family has been coming to the Redlands location for about 25 years, and it's a favorite of my wife and I on special occasions. The new Yucaipa setting is cute, not too loud, and close enough to take a nice drive on HWY 38 for a date night. We are pasta snobs, at home we enjoy making our pasta from scratch with fresh eggs and semolina flour. So when we go out to eat it's extremely difficult to find quality pasta up to our standards. Isabella's always knocks it out of the park. The bread is fresh-made and all the ingredients are great quality. Creamy pesto gnocchi, butternut squash ravioli, even the simple Aglio e olio is wonderful. House wine is Italian. Portions are generous on the main dishes, and we always get to have an exciting lunch the next day with leftovers. The service is also impeccable, water is never empty, and for the same price of Macaroni Grille you get a truly homemade meal. read more

The dinner was amazing, even though it was raining cats and dogs, which obviously made all the customers arrive at the same time. The staff was very nice, always smiling, and the chef/owner, Isabella (I believe?), was so kind--she personally brought my pasta to the table. They served an amazing warm bread with butter to start. I chose the soup of the day and the carbonara pasta, while my husband ordered a salad and penne all'arrabbiata with sausage. The portions were generous, making it easy to share, and they even offer a sharing option for an additional $8, which includes an extra salad or soup. The atmosphere was cozy, the music was delightful and at a low volume, making it perfect for conversation. Overall, a great experience! read more

Very nice ambiance A little pricey Food was great Had an eggplant dish- wonderful Calamari fritti- excellent Wife had shrimp, spinach penne paste- excellent Granddaughter has spaghetti with red sauce Cremebruelle(sp) and spamoni (sp) for dessert Service was great Feel of an upscale restaurant Highly recommended read more

One of the best Italian dinners I've had in Redlands. Two of us each split an entree and while I felt the extra $8.95 plate charge was a bit much we were amazed at the amount of food we were served. One entree is enough for 2 people with hearty appetites. We did go wild over their homemade rolls which are amazing. Server was very sweet and helped us order. Dinner for 4 was under $80. We will be back. read more

First thing to mention is to go on their website and get their coupon. Good for two people , two entrees with drinks, $14.00 value. Cut out coupon , you can't show it in your phone. This new location in Yucaipa has plenty of parking. I like the ambiance here better than the restaurant in Redlands. They were busy which I'm glad since they are new. I ordered the lasagna which was pretty good. I ordered a Caesar salad which was a small up charge. It was a large salad and good. They also brought us rolls and butter, the rolls were pretty big. Some people think this place is pricey but it is a very nice restaurant and known for their good quality of food. read more

Definitely need a reservation especially during weekend. My friend and I tried it and got a small table sitting next to each other but got crammed in the corner close to the kitchen entrance. Food other wise was of good quality and service of the servers was great. read more

Our first visit was absolutely amazing. We had some small bites beforehand but wanted something small. We ordered the Calamari Fritti and the Scampi Al Diablo along with a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Everything was so delicious, especially the sauce on the shrimp! The service was excellent. We will definitely be back, and maybe bring a few friends read more

Our first time visit and oh my Goodness!! The restaurant and ambience were warm and welcoming. Quiet background music and I could actually hear my husband speak. The service was exceptional. Thank you Ruthie . She was very informative about menus and answered all our questions. Timing was great. We never felt rushed or neglected. Promptly served our drinks and bread and butter. Presentation of meal wonderful. And the taste was fabulous. We had a good amount of time to eat before we were offered the check. I can't speak highly enough about the entire experience . I would definitely recommend this restaurant. A 15 out of 10 star night. Thank you to the exceptional servers and cooks for tonight. Yes we will be back !!!! read more

We were there tonight. The food was excellent. Between the 4 of us we had the shrimp with spaghetti, the vegetable lasagna, and the gnocchi with pesto sauce. If this is what food tastes like in Italy, sign me up. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the evening. Our waitress was funny and charming. We really liked her. I'm so glad we tried this place. It was a 9.75 out of 10. read more

The place was small but cute. I was excited about the menu but in all honesty the food was average and a bit on the pricier side. They also charge you to use your debit card. Tried a couple of things including their lasagna, soup of the day and their penne al vodka pasta. read more

Very good food and services. They moved from Redlands to Yucaipa but no change on their food and others.

Great place to eat. The fettuccine Viviana is my fave! I would recommend this place. The food is authentic.

I am so excited that Isabella's is open here in Yucaipa. They have some of the best pasta dishes in the inland empire. They have a sister store that is in Redlands as well. I ate here for the lunch menu. The new build out is very intimate and was very well done. Smaller space so make sure you check it out before wait times get too long!! Our waitress was amazing and the staff greeted us so warmly when we arrived and left. I love the penne vodka and add chicken to it. My wife had the homemade gnocchi and also loved it. read more

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in town, They have the best Choices of Pasta and their Calamari is the best I have taste in California so far. Their portions are also great so you can't beat that, also their customer service was amazing. I would really recommend for anyone who enjoys real Italian cuisine. read more

Our go to dining experience in Yucaipa. The only down side is that in can get full, so reservations are probably a good idea. Just leave a message on their phone line. Food is great. Try the fried artichoke. Had a great server and team. read more

Sorry Redlands closed, but the new location Yucaipa is even better! We love the ambience. The food was terrific and the service was superb! Can't wait to go back. read more

Food was excellent, by far the best restaurant I have been to in Yucaipa. Service was good as well.

Ordered food for pick up. Specifically asked the total before going in and the price magically increased 18% upon arrival. No, it wasnt an added tip. This is the second time this has happened here and its a shame they are scam artists because their food is pretty good for this area. I am never going back after my many times patronizing this restaurant. The constant pricing inconsistencies is unacceptable and makes you feel very taken advantage of. I even called back and spoke with the manager! She was unconcerned with the issue and did nothing to rectify it. Embarrassment of an establishment and they shouldn't be supported read more

My Italian wife says the food is delicious, she said it "takes me back to my Aunt Nancy and her giant family Italian get togethers ", I wish I knew her then Drool, drool.,...........mmmmmmm read more

My favorite Italian restaurant!! It's so cute and inviting inside with beautiful murals and upscale seating, and it has all the delicious Italian smells--garlic, marinara, rosemary. Isabella's is an IE icon! I used to work here and I've been ordering from Ruthie and Chef Martin for 20 years. My recommendations: order a bottle of wine, get the scampi and/or calamari appetizer, try the soups, you can't go wrong with any pasta dish or the fresh fish or chicken piccata or gnocchi, and for dessert the homemade tiramisu or crème brûlée are mandatory. To me, the prices are comparable to other restaurants of this caliber, and the food and service are really worth it. Definitely recommend this place for a special occasion or a date night or a girls' night out or one of this nights when you don't feel like cooking and want to treat yourself :) read more

Five star service and ambiance. Five star desserts. We had spumoni, creme brûlée and tiramisu, all tasted great! We also had filet mignon, ravioli special, piccata limon and penne vodka. They're okay, not five star quality. More like 3.5 for the entree. Overall, might return for the desserts. read more

I don't normally do reviews, but we had dinner tonight for the first time here and it was phenomenal! The sauce was just like my Nonna would make and the chicken Parmesan was delicious! Service was excellent and we can't wait to come back. If you are looking for good traditional Italian food with a great ambiance give this place a try. read more

This restaurant is a great find for the area. You walk in and the staff is so inviting. The inside is decorated perfect for an Italian restaurant. The food was good and we all enjoyed our dishes.

I was so excited to go to Isabella's . As a family we had many special memories of other locations. I was extremely disappointed with the food witch was so tasteless and bland. My husband had the Filet- Mignon, the menu says thick cut, it was all of 1/4 inch thick. The waitress served us our food and was no where to be found. Mean while we were the only people in the restaurant . How sad, and it was very expensive. We would have been better off going to Mcdonalds. We would never go back read more
