Nice food and attentive service. Also, it was not noisy - some restaurants like to get "atmosphere" with piped music. Isolabella was not one of those I am glad to say.

Loved this. It's a really good find, a traditional Italian restaurant. The lamb cutlets were tender and the sauce well seasoned. Their take on apple tart was different but Wonderful. I will definitely be going back.

The service was really good. I had the white bait for starter. Presented beautifully, but unfortunately lacked any taste. The seafood risotto was really very good. Just enough room for pudding, so we shared an amaretto ice-cream. Delicious. Nice wine.

Ambience was nice but the pasta was EXTREMELY salty! According to them, it was because the salted cheese that they used that made it salty. Don't see the point in using salted cheese because there wasn't any taste of cheese at all and all we could taste was salt.

Excellent food as always. Efficient service, nice ambience. Proper Italian cooking with lovely sauces. I've been before several times and the standard has never dropped off, including an office Christmas lunch for fifteen people, which is always a mark of excellence.

Staff were excellent. Most of the food we chose was also superb but the crab linguine was only OK. Nothing wrong at all just not very interesting, hence a 4, otherwise higher.

Great buzz/atmosphere starters were good - melon/Parmalat ham and calamari with excellent Garlic dip. Mains were chicken and mushroom carbonate, which was superb and smoked salmon tagliatelle which was OK. Wine was OK.

Great restaurant. I immediately noticed how nice and modern it looked. Very clean and well lit. We were immediately seated and offered water straight away as it was a very hot day. Very good menu with a large selection. I thoroughly enjoyed my main of salmon tagliatelle and would recommend this. I will definitely come here again.

Food very good and service excellent, would definitely return here. Had a really pleasant evening with family and we were looked after well. Only downside is they add a service charge on the bill and would prefer to choose what tip to allow although this seems to be commonplace in restaurants nowadays.

Great atmosphere with particular note to the interior of the place, which those arching walls which took me back to the Italian classic trattoria and restaurants. Fantastic menu with wide variety of food from the antipasti till the digestivi. Suitable for vegeterians too as there is a wide selection in the menu. Well presented and polite members of staff. Will definitely come back and strongly suggest Isola Bella in Holborn to everyone.

An excellent evening with very good friends made even better by the quality of the food and service. Originally booked for 7pm but got 'stuck' in the pub opposite so popped into the restaurant and they agreed to put our booking back by half an hour. Very accommodating. We certainly be going again as soon as possible!

Isolabella is an Italian restaurant with a very good atmosphere and good tasteful food. The winelist is not very extensive, but the wines are carefully selected and nice.
