Izabella Ristorante Italiano

Excellent food, service and ambient. Waitress offer you the season specials and they are very kind giving every detail you ask. Totally recommended. If possible, make a reservation as restaurant sometimes is fully booked.

My husband and I came here for an early dinner and thankfully they just opened so it's not crowded yet and we were attended to right away for a table. The staff that took care of us was Rafael, we started first thing with an Espresso and a short Americano - unfortunately, when we got our coffee we thought it tasted like instant coffee and we expressed our feedback to Rafael. We didn't realize that they opted out of the coffee on our order in the end when we asked for the bill. We appreciate the kind gesture, though. Then, we ordered the following: 1 Bruschetta $9.95 Chicken Izabella $28.95 Lasagna Ala Bolognese $25.95 Brownie $10.00 Total: $81.40 + Tips We were served first with their complimentary warm bread along with balsamic oil. And we didn't wait that long to have both being serv

Fantastic dinner service! I definitely recommend setting a reservation during the holidays because they were super busy. They do a fantastic job getting people in and served timely.

Excellent Italian dinner with family on a weekend in South Lake Tahoe. What a great discovery! Conveniently on the boulevard, with a free parking lot at the rear and along the window front. Fully wheelchair accessible from parking / sidewalk with ramp. Called in for a reservation late afternoon, took a table at 7pm. We went there mid October, although during shoulder season the place was packed and many families were on a waitlist. Greeted by friendly, welcoming front desk and seated within minutes by helpful usher (booth table at the window). Server welcomed us, provided menu/drink list and explained the daily specials. Ice water, our drinks, and bread with olive oil were quickly served while we selected our dishes. We shared two appetizers, followed by mains and desserts. What a feast, c

Decent option if you want cost friendly Italian food in a cozy establishment. Pros: 1. cozy vibes 2. cost effective for an Italian restaurant 3. Excellent eggplant appetizer with goat cheese, tomato, mozzarella. Could use more goat cheese and less marinara. 4. Adequate service 5. Complementary bread, not sure what type of bread this was as it was too doughy and dense to be focaccia. Cons: Food lacks certain essential elements of Italian cuisine. 1. Pasta is not al dente. Feels like it was pre-cooked so it became over cooked and doughy by the time it reached the table. 2. Risotto is not done like traditional, reach-perfection-during-transit risotto where it's spread out flat on a plate. Too dry/sticky that it comes lumped up. 3. EVOO lacks olive fragrance. Solution? Dunk a spoonful of
