Isabella is just terrific, and my favorite restaurant in the area! Whether you are in the mood for a light happy hour meal at the bar or a full-out, sit down dining experience, you cannot go wrong by going to Isabella. The menu has options that fit all preferences, and the food quality is always exquisite. Pricing is normal for... More

Great food, ambiance and service! When I first walked-in I was greeted with a firm handshake from what appeared to be the General Manager, Brian. He was prompt and polite throughout the entire dining service. Even shaking my hand thanking me for choosing Isabella as I was leaving--a nice touch that is a lost art these days. It's now my...

One of the first places my fiance took me on a date. It was very classy. A great opportunity to dress up in the middle of the week.

One glance at the startlingly contemporary architecture, bistro lighting, and enormous glass windows would fool the passer-by that you're in a San Francisco, LA, New Orleans, or Boston hot spot. And the luxe upscale interior and trendy bar (without any sports bar kitsch-- whoo-hoo!) drew us in. We thought only of getting a 'wow' burger and ended up ordering both... More

After days on the road and fast food meals, our last night found us here in PA, and what a great surprise....I loved the fact that they featured "small plates", a much better portion size choice. Also, the servers came by with tastes of featured items.....just a spoonful of strawberry shortcake at the end of a fabulous meal...perfect

We have visited this restaurant several times for both dinner and lunch. The food and service is excellent. It may seem a little pricey to some in this area, but the quality and freshness of the food makes a difference. The lunch menu is terrific, and they fill up quick a lunch time so be prepared or make reservations.

The staff and manager of this restaurant are wonderful and efficient. The food is almost always above par. My only complaint is that the prices are about 10% higher than they should be. Great atmosphere as well as parking.
