Isabella's welcomes a mostly local crowd of neighborhood families and couples. Enjoy a range of Mediterranean dishes and farm-fresh ingredients from their seasonal menus. If weather is permitting, request a sidewalk table and soak in the aura of the upper west. Even the inside of the restaurant feels like you're outside, with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows scaling the perimeter.
