I have been here a couple times. Nice place. Good food. I got Isabella’s Summer Pasta. It was delicious except the chicken was tough. We love the bread.

Completely blown away by our experience this evening. We ordered a couple of cocktails, both were crisp and refreshing, not to mention pretty. All of the food we ordered was generous in portion, well worth the price, cooked to absolute perfection. Our waitress was attentive and always came at the right time to refill drinks or check in on us, and was also very pleasant to interact with! Went above and beyond. Love this place! Will most likely be back here on another date night!

The Chipper
We sat outside, so I only had a brief glimpse of the inside, which just looked like a typical Italian restaurant with a lot of tables and a lot of noise. Outside the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, and there were no fans or anything to ensure comfort for outdoor dining on hot days.

We had the daily special of shrimp linguine, then chicken and sausage orecchiette. Both were phenomenal!! The meat was tender, very flavorful, the white sauce was also so delicious. Shrimp entree was well seasoned and above expectations. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Overall our experience was very good. There were a couple minor kitchen issues but nothing major, and certainly nothing that will keep us from returning.

A fresh breath of air in comparison to other Italian faire options in Lynchburg. Perhaps one of the primary reasons it was our first venture inside; we expected it to be a repeat of others and we were pleasantly surprised when we were greeted and seated though underdressed. The owner personally made sure we had seating although we had not made a reservation beforehand which embraced a quality level of attention that Lynchburg restauranteurs are known for. Immediately overwhelmed at the ambiance and of the beauty inside the strip mall trattoria, we strode through the romantically lit room to a cozy booth and were made to feel welcomed and comfortable. We both chose a dish from the specials and while they were incredible, the ribeye left us wanting. Sampling the mussels first was an excellent choice and we look forward to returning soon and choosing another appetizer, as selecting just one was tough! The server’s (David) timing was impeccable and made sure the entrees arrived timely after the mussels were cleared. Our drinks were a nice twist of an old fashioned favorite, basil infused mojitos (yum!), and our pallets were happily delighted all the way through the tiramisu (imported from Italy) that we enjoyed for dessert. Will keep mindful of my rating with continued visits and further sampling of the menu. Five star atmosphere and staff! Thank you for having us.

The experience at Isabella’s is top-notch. The wonderful experience created by the truly phenomenal food, and an atmosphere that is upscale yet not pretentious was accentuated by our attentive and friendly server, Lizzie. Thanks to everyone at Isabella’s for a great experience. We will definitely return!!

Great recommendation for solid food, cocktails, wine, and service; unique, sometimes rare, craft cocktails that are super well made at the well-appointed bar, delicious seafood appetizer choices for our large table (9-10 guests), great specials (scallops and rockfish!) and pasta stand-outs, plus a very efficient but well-rounded wine list (we loved a red and a white from northern Italy)
