Stopped here after work to meet up with a friend, and loved this spot! Parking was relatively easy…read moreon the street a block away. We were seated immediately (with reservation). We shared the arancini and some bread to lap up that sauce - those were absolutely delicious! My husband and I then shared a pizza, which I shamefully forgot to photograph, and the carbonara (which was fun to mix in my own egg). Overall, it was a good and service was quick. I enjoyed the vibes and could see this being a great happy hour spot for locals.

I'm confused why on a Monday-before 7pm peak hours when I asked for a table for one I was offered the crappiest little corner table which I accepted ...but why???

Huge fan of this spot - they make some of my favorite Neapolitan pizza. I'm not a repeat customer…read moreat many places truthfully, but this place has my patronage. I will say that the quality can somewhat vary sometimes. The last time I went, there was a bit too much sauce so the slices felt a bit over encumbered, but it was still really good and I can see how another person might like that. The restaurant itself is quite small so don't be surprised if you're back to back with another table if you're coming in on a particularly busy weekend. They make it work though! The service is extremely polite and is very quick with it as well! They're worth the trip for one of my favorite pizza spots in the Boston area.

The food was tasty, even after reheating at home. The restaurant felt very cozy, like mom and pop shop and the services are great. I felt so welcome as soon as I walk into the door.

We've eaten at the Beacon Hill location many times, and was disappointed by our first trip to the…read moreHarvard Square location. The atmosphere and vibe was very different and lacks the class of the Boston location. Didn't have the same "fine dining" vibe. Service was decent, but not the top notch professional service we're accustomed to in Boston. The server didn't really engage with us, and overall was a bit indifferent throughout the meal. Two in our party ordered t-bone steaks, which were cooked perfectly as ordered, but the cuts were on the thin side. The seafood mixed grill (one of the nights specials) was extremely disappointing, a ridiculously small portion, and the shrimp and fish were overcooked and dry. We had the cheese tasting as an appetizer, and the portion was laughably small. We'll stick to Beacon Hill from now on. Never been disappointed with anything there.

I had bracholla (sp. ck) which was ok but only one on top of a pound of angel hair pasta. Who needs to spend money on pasta???

I requested that for dessert, Happy birthday written with candles…read more Reminded manager, that what ever dessert my moms asks for to follow email request, but then the waiter brought some simple pie, that my mom didn't ask for, with nothing written and a candle not lit up. Waiters excuse was "i don't have a way to light it, sorry". This is totally appalling and insulting, told him take this back, not paying for this, you ruined my mom's surprise bday. No one came and said sorry for mistake, told staff and they didn't even try to make it up. Worst service i ever experienced and food wasn't even that good. Also they forgot my 2nd app, they said i never asked for it, which is a lie Blake Bettencourt

Finally had a chance to try this spot after hearing good things…read more I have been visiting Boston area pretty regularly for work lately and this place has been on my list. Made reservations for 1 in advance and was able finally come by. Staff was amazing and very friendly. My waiter John was nice and very knowledgeable. Atmosphere here was very nice. I ordered the oysters, pappardelle, and gelato. Oysters were a nice appetite starter. Had the pappardelle with black truffle and I demolished that dish. Absolutely going to come back. I am surprised this place has not recieved a Michelin star yet because everything was on par.

Such a lovely spot. So happy I was able to stop by during my visit…read more As mentioned many times, reservations are quite a challenge. I was in town visiting and was lucky enough to grab a bar spot later in the evening on a really cold night. The service -- superior. I was done making the decisions for the day so I had my server guide the experience and he was not wrong! I started with the best cocktail I had in Boston, . So good! Next I went with the Semolina cakes which were lovely. Followed that with spice crusted bluefin tuna which I devoured. For the main course -- i wanted a representative dish since i may never get the opportunity to circle back and the pappardelle with wild boar was amazing! I ate every bite. Ricotta cheesecake was for dessert and it was sooo good. I had to take the last few bites to go to enjoy later. Definitely work the reservation challenge

Amazing little spot in the Boston North End. We walked in…read morejust before lunch and were seated immediately. Recommend reservations for dinner as others have mentioned as it's relatively small, but cozy and reminiscent of some of my favorite Italy spots. Service was personal, immediate and wonderful. Bread was great as appetizer and filling. We ordered two specials and were VERY happy we did (see photos).

I recently visited Isabella Ristorante in the North End and had a really enjoyable dinner overall…read more I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because the restaurant fills up quickly, especially during dinner hours. One small thing -- maybe it was just me, but the entrance was a little difficult to find at first since it's mainly just a door from the outside. There were also tables seated very close to the entrance, which made it feel a bit cramped and awkward walking in and out. Our waiter was friendly and nice, though the service did feel a little rushed at times. That said, the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the calamari to share, and it was beautifully prepared -- crispy, fresh, and not overly heavy. For my entree, I ordered the seafood pasta and really loved it. The seafood tasted fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors all came together really well.
