Rughetta salad
Bianca I.

Been here twice. Sat at the bar once and outside. Had excellent service both times. Brought my Italian family here and we all agreed everything we ordered was delicious. The Fiore di Zucca is an absolute must get app and the burrata is awesome too.

Caponata

My husband and I just had lunch here. It's probably one of our best Italian lunches we've had in downtown Danville. We were actually going to go the Italian restaurant (starts with an "L") unfortunately they were closed for lunch. Started with the Caponata for apps DELICIOUS! I could have that w/ crusty bread a bottle of Chianti and call it a night! So, ordered the Norma and Salmon. Both were amazing. We had to have dessert. The cannoli was so so good! Can't beat that filling *made fresh, sadly not the shell. The tiramisu was outstanding! Koa, the manager here was very friendly and we had a nice chat with him. We'll come back for sure!

Somewhat disappointing experience. My friend made a reservation for inside, yet when we arrived they couldn't seat us inside and offered us outdoor seating instead (and this was on one of those hot summer nights when you'd really rather be inside with the AC). Then, the waiter said they had a full bar; yet they couldn't make several drinks I asked for.. And when they finally made me a simple daiquiri, not only did they charge me for a more expensive rum, but they charged extra for the lime juice... are you kidding me? Their only saving grace was that their appetizers were very good. But our main dishes were lack luster.. and our service was just ok.

No need to gate keep on this one! Isola Osteria is already the hot new Sicilian / Italian restaurant in the Tri-Valley. Located in Downtown Danville railroad Ave. Isola has already expanded its hours to accommodate its popularity. Now open for lunch / dinner and happy hour on Tuesday thru Friday. We grabbed a sit outside on the patio a jazz guitarist plays in Friday and Saturdays. My daughter and I got a couple of cocktails and the following appetizers. Arancini Rice balls Beef carpaccio Grilled Veggies Ahi tuna Mussels All were excellent but the mussels really stood out. They were large plump and in a saffron sauce. Plenty of parking in the large public lot. Look for the Vespa and the Fiat in the front. Pro Tip go early on a nice day order up a some drinks and appetizers enjoy the music then at 5 pm the dinner menu is available.

This place was wonderful!! We had my bridal shower here, and the owner Angelo was so welcoming and a great host. The food was absolutely amazing, I highly recommend the mushroom ravioli, it was definitely a fan favorite when we went. And every single one of the desserts were so tasty! My favorite was the chocolate lava cake, for sure. Highly recommend for a nice night out with your girlfriends or your significant other! The service was wonderful as well, everyone was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Anchovy pasta
Kevin C.

Tried the newest Danville rage for lunch. Isolo Osteria, owned and operated by true Sicilians. This place is authentic! From the waiters with attitude to the anchovy pasta. The bread starter with olive oil was really good. A bit salty, but that's how I like it. The mains we ordered were pasta and panini. The quality and freshness was outstanding. Handmade pasta with an anchovy ragu that tasted like it had been simmering all day. Pro-tip. Order the arancini, Italian rice balls. They were right out of the fryer and perfect!! The height of the meal. Excellent!! We'll be back for dinner.

Last night, we decided to try the new restaurant downtown. We didn't have reservations, but my partner wanted to see if we could wait. We were very lucky to grab a table for two on the patio. I ordered the gnocchi and my partner asked the owner if they made squid ink pasta which wasn'T on the menu. He was so lucky that the manager just so happened to have fresh cuttlefish that day. Because my partner ordered off the menu, the owner had to cook the dish himself so that the recipe was right. How nice is that! It was worth the wait. Next time, we will visit on a less busy weeknight!

Cannoli.

It's Saturday morning, and I had a dream I went to an Italy and had a nice dinner with people I love to hang out with... but it happened! Actually I didn't go to Italy but everything else was true. Last night, I had dinner at Isola Osteria and it was the perfect way to end a busy week. The food was amazing! We ordered family style so we ordered 4 different appetizers, salads, and entrees. it was all so good. It's very savory and hearty so if you want something not as savory then just let them know! They are so accommodating. Their team embodies the hospitality Sicilian spirt of food. Among everything we ordered, the mushroom pasta was my favorite. I liked it so much I took extra bread just to scoop more of the mushroom sauce. I wanted to take some mushroom sauce home to eat it with rice later... Dessert. Get the bomba chocolate. In Filipino (Tagalog) bomba means naked, so that was a no brainer for me.... "Naked chocolate" It is Saturday... so I'm going to work out burn off those calories work up and appetite and return to Isola Osteria tonight... Oh pro tip: they just opened so they are working out the kinks. Make reservations early or arrive at 4:55, 5 minutes before they open at 5pm. or maybe just order to go and sit by the fountain... they hire a musician to sit outside and fill the air with beauty.

Interior waiting for more guests.
Allen S.

This is soft-opening night. Customers are lining up at the door. We have been waiting for Isola Osteria to open since summer. The entire restaurant space was rebuilt from previous businesses. The interior has a modern feel. The restaurant is striving for authentic Sicilian and Southern Italian. Tonight we are getting the Rughetta salad with fennel, watermelon radish, ricotta and blood orange vinaigrette; Burrata Caprese and the whole branzino with sautéed broccoli rabe. The caprese was exceptional. The balsamic sauce was lightly dusted with a small amount of salt. The combination created a great flavor combination. By the time we left the whole restaurant was filled with happy customers. For dessert the Torta Della Nonna and espresso. This was a great opening. It's a small world. Many of the customers tonight seemed to know each other. We recommend giving Isola Osteria a try. It is great to have a Sicilian restaurant near us.

Chicken dish...pretty scary looking and lacking flavor.
Rachel N.

Definitely a place where you can feel underdressed if you decide to just pop in on a night out -- though it looks pretty casual it's more of a dressy place. Tonsss of wine options and other drinks -- lovely place to sit on the patio and just sip and chat with friends! While the ambiance, drinks and service were swell, the food was pretty lackluster and disappointing. The chicken dish was plated...scarily...it looked gross and didn't have much flavor to help. Seemed like it was just boiled and then had seasoning thrown on top. While the gnocchi was a large portion and looked great, it also lacked flavor and the gnocchi itself seemed dry? Not really sure. The porchetta al'forna was by far the best dish we had. The pork was tender, the gravy was sooo tasty to dip everything in, and you really can't go wrong with potatoes. Sadly, two of our party of four were sick a few hours later but we all shared food so can't say what from. While the entire trip wasn't awful, everything together tells us we aren't coming back.

amazing wine!

Where do I even start? Well first off Marcus was a delight. He not only gave a great recommendation for wine (pictured) but he recommended the Mushroom Ravioli that was to die for! Can't rave enough about our experience here. 10/10 in my book.

Bread and delicious dipping oil
Frances L.

Updating my review after a recent visit with my friends. Our group of five were welcomed in and seated inside at our reservation time. It was a busy Friday night. We had wanted to try Isola together, but were left disappointed. Food was ok. The noise inside the restaurant was unbearably loud and we couldn't hear each other talk. My friends felt our waiter pretty much ignored us even though he seemed attentive to other tables. Really disappointing and none of would want to return.

There were small Palm like trees scattered around which were big enough to interrupt the view of traffic on Hartz and the driveway. We had pulled pork nachos and the larger poke bowl. All good.

Once we had the food they were often checking in on us and refilling water and drinks. The drinks were very good, the mai tai and chi chi were exactly what was needed! Now the food... very disappointed. The ohana beef stew tasted very bland, and didn't have much of a Hawaiian flavor or vibe, felt like it could have been an Irish stew with the chunks of beef and veggies in a dark brown sauce. The ramen was very salty, and it didn't have much going for it either. The teriyaki chicken we added onto it was fine, but the flavor got lost once it went into the broth. I'm used to getting mac salad at a Hawaiian place so I was interested and excited to try a potato salad and cole slaw. The potato salad had a lot of flavor, but it did seem a little salty. The coleslaw might have been the best thing I ate there ... the pineapple chunks in it were very refreshing. I'd come back for a drink, and maybe an appetizer but I don't think I'd get an entree again.

So we sat in the patio which had fans and nice plants which shaded well. Felt like sitting a garden and was cool. However when walked through the restaurant to the patio it was almost all empty and plenty of tables so kinda odd. Service was okay, kinda slower than I expected. Poor server also spilled water all over me but I was thankfully wearing shorts so it was okay. Food was great though! We ordered a Sedona chicken sandwich with garlic fries and chicken picatta. Sandwich was kinda like a grilled chicken burger. The thicken breast was moist and fries were crispy and tasty. Chicken picatta was delicious and perfectly mixed with mashed potatoes, spinach, capers. The chicken wasn't dry. Pear martini was the best. I would come here just for this drink. I think they home make the syrup. Old fashioned was good but a little sweet.

Ambience: The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, featuring high ceilings and a beautifully renovated interior that creates an inviting dining environment.

Location is perfect, ample parking nearby and ambience is super chic and cozy. Calamari- 10/10. Small portion though, we should have ordered a 2nd appetizer. Bread/Butter- it seems like they're rationing butter....the plate had enough to coat *maybe* 1.5 rolls Chilean Seabass- 9/10 Prawn Tacos 9/10 The signature bourbon drink was 10/10....wish we ordered a couple more. The hostess was kind and sat us immediately, but seemed a little stressed out, could just be due a very busy night. A warm smile goes a long way. Our waitress was Catherine, absolutely wonderful and so friendly. She was patient and sweet. The kind of hire Tides should feel lucky to have. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5....the Grey seats we were seated in are so low, felt like we had to stand up every time we reached across table and could barely hear each other. Beautiful decor but not super practical for dining. Will definitely return soon.
