Isolabella in Camden

As always, fantastic quality food, very good service and ambience. Love this restaurant. Beautiful home made cheesecake and a very large slice.

We had such a great meal! Booked this last minute as somewhere local whilst visiting London, had calamari and bruschetta starter, honestly one of best bruschetta I have enjoyed in many a restaurant fresh and tasty. Then for main had the seafood linguine, lots of mussels and calamari in it and delicious, and also had a whole (huge) sea bream with a side of potato’s and green beans. Everything was flavoursome and enjoyable, would happily go again!

The staff were wonderful. They fit our group in. The food was fantastic. We will be happy to revisit.

It says it’s an Italian restaurant which is not. The menu is in English and Italian but the translation doesn’t correspond and most of the words in Italian are misspelled. The food quality and the way it’s cooked is very average, nothing to do with authentic Italian food and not even tasty. The high prices don’t reflect the quality of the food. The only positive things were the service and the venue itself. If they change the cook and with more attention to details it could have a better potential

I recently dined at Isolabella and had a mixed experience. The Gnocchi with Gorgonzola was just okay—creamy but lacking that standout flavor. The Gamberoni Piccanti (king prawns with chilli, garlic, white wine, and tomato sauce) was quite dull, with the prawns themselves not being as flavorful as expected. I also tried the Zaraglione dessert (whisked egg yolks, white wine, Marsala wine, and sugar), which was quite disappointing and not something I’d order again. Overall, Isolabella offers a decent dining experience, but the food didn’t leave a lasting impression. For an Italian restaurant, it’s solid, but I’ve had better elsewhere.

Service - 3 servants: 1 friendly, 1 rude, 1 depressed…pay them more or get rid. Location - toilets (dirts) ; main restaurant layout - zero charm /maximum tables/covers…resulting in various poor people inches from my chin having to listen to my banal chit chat. Food - pizza (think Lidl); spaghetti pomodoro with basil (microwave? Think Dolmio and zero basil); side dish - Salad …unwashed hence still picking sand and grits out of my teeth as I type. Drinks - just ok. Price - for London ok. Summary - Like we all do, i work hard for my money,, and I wasted an evening out based on Tripadvisor reviews which imply this place is good. It isn’t…but maybe most London restaurants are poor so this place is relatively ok. It isn’t though. It’s a 4.

Excellent risotto, meats and service. Excellent.

Lovely, traditional Italian food cooked very well. Particularly good fried courgettes, which were nicely al dente. My only complaint is that a large bottle of San Pellegrino costs £6.25 here - which seems like a very big mark-up on a relatively low cost item. I would go there again for the food, but next time I'll have wine or tap water.

The restaurant is well located, and with good quality of food. The food is good and has good quality. The children have a good menu but the waiters and the room manager are not the most pleasant. It was raining and we were a 2-year-old girl and 3 adults, the restaurant was half empty at 8:30 at night and the waitress told me that without a reservation we couldn't have dinner. Thank goodness I booked 10 minutes before, because I think otherwise we would have had to leave.

We arrived at restaurant 15 minutes early, it was completely empty. We were shown to our table, as I was talking to the waiter he just walked off. I wanted to clarify the deal that was booked through open table. He ignored me and a lady started talking in a different language. He aggressively said you are 15 minutes to early for the 50% deal it's 25% at this time, so if you want that deal you'll have to wait. I said it's not a problem as I knew we were early, then the lady said something again, and again he shouted at us saying it should be 25% off food now, as your here before 5pm. I said it's fine we will leave and come back then. He shouted, No just sit and wait. With that I got up and left and told them to forget it, as at this point we felt very uncomfortable. Yes we arrived early but was happy to sit and wait and order alcohol which was not in the deal, and wait until 5pm to order food. After that experience I will never ever return!

Highly recommended!!! Delicious Italian food!!!

We were looking for an Italian restaurant to recover from international spicy food..... Only the name is Italian, all NOT Italian. 3 small soups, 1 tomato rice, 2 grilled chicken breasts, water, coffee: total £120.

Pessimo We were looking for an Italian restaurant to recover from international spicy food…..

Disappointing welcome, I acknowledged we were early for our booking and restaurant wasn't yet open, but when I asked if we could come in or should wait outside I was greeted with an eye roll and then a demand for our booking details, I gave the time and was then asked to provide the bookers name, and when I said again the time before giving the name, I was cut off and told they have 3 bookings for that time I need a name, I gave the name and our table was pointed out to us. As we sat down, we were told quite abruptly we couldn't park the pram there, as the restaurant will be busy, but we felt it was harsh as we were only just settling ourselves so had every intention of parking the pram elsewhere but hadn't been given the chance too. I was then not keen to ask for a high chair, I felt whatever I said or did was going to cause upset/short sharp answers. Our other guests joined and the rest of our visit went fine, just not the best welcome. Food was ok, had better had worse.

Amazing service food was delish

Great service great stuff all round

This restaurant was definitely a very sticky rip-off. Excellent food, pleasant service, good price. We had a great dinner which was a great end to a lovely day.

Lovely place. Just in front of the premier inn hotel. Open on Saturdays till 21:30. The next day around 19L00 it was too crowded and too loud tgere so we skiped it

Very tasty food, very well seasoned, ready very quickly, delicious dessert and coffee and very good service from Sasha and Edyta

Great food, large portions and lovely ambience. Service is also very good

Fantastic food very authentic and great value!

Really enjoyed the food, we had a great evening.

Very good but everything is extra, the dishes are served without vegetables or pasta or other, you will have to add the vegetable and pasta or other that you want each time, considerably increasing the price

Très bon restaurant Accueil au top, service également ! Les plats sont exquis, bref si vous passez par là foncez !!! ( La souris d'agneau ravira plus d'un gourmet.)

Great food and great service, a real family run restaurant.

We had a family gettogether to wish my niece success in her endeavour's next day competing in the London Marathon 2024. Our party of 16, were made welcome and received amazing care and service from our fabulous waitress. The food was excellent and our dietary needs met. Isabella's was buzzing and we were not the only large party that were dining that evening. Hats off to all the staff an amazing evening. Thank you we will be back.

Ci siamo capitati per caso, ma è stato un ottima esperienza, pizza buonissima e anche gli altri piatti erano ottimi, ottimo anche il servizio e la cortesia.

Wonderful friendly and attentive staff, lovely atmosphere and the most delicious salmon I have ever eaten. A very special lunch. Thank you.

Amazing lunch, mushroom risotto was absolutely beautiful thank you

Poor quality of ingredients Low taste Some of the staff is nice some others not Very disappointing Very good cocktails

Great tasting food. Excellent service and fab coffee. Really good portion sizes which helped with our ravenous teenage children! We had a mixture of pizza and pasta based mains and everyone gave a minimum of 9/10. Same for the puddings. Coffee definite 10!!!! We will go back.

Great restaurant, delicious food, generous portions & really friendly staff. I was also very grateful to have multiple vegetarian options to choose from. This is worth a visit when you're in town

Food arrived 40 late and it was cold. Pancetta was not cooked or crispy. Calamari was under seasoned. Not worth the money or the wait to be honest. Nice meat balls though

Lovely enchanting Italian restaurant that does Italian food absolute credit! The food is delicious, the portions are very generous and the decor of the dish is great! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a member of staff who showed us to our table and the great service continued. Our waiter was Ricardo who was very attentive and funny. He was always available and ensured whatever we ordered approved promptly. Ordered a lovely white wine from Puglia for dinner. We kicked off the evening with Prosecco. The desserts sounded amazing, however we just didn’t have enough room! We will definitely be back and next time will sample the desserts.

Good value with the discount from open table but otherwise nothing special. Booked for a birthday meal but the 'family' business was just that, business. Service seemed forced and food was not genuine. The chicken and mushroom linguine used very heavily reduced cream. Would not visit again for a birthday meal.

We had such a nice meal here, lots of vegetarian options and a brilliant cheesecake to finish. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed our time here excellent food service and wine .. Was my sons birthday and it was,the perfect choice. Thankuuuuu will definitely be returning

We had a big work lunch here and the staff was very attentive and helpful at all times. The food was really nice not just mine but that was the general consensus as well.

I used the Gourmet Society membership, which gives you 50% off the food bill. I had frito misto to start and my friend had stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms were good but rather small portion. My frito misto was delicious. For mains we had the seabass special, which came with seafood and a linguine alla vongole. The seabass was cooked well and was tasty. The pasta was good but there were not a lot of vongole. We shared a bottle of Frascati, which was lovely.

Beautiful, quiet, quite small venue but what it lacked in size it made up for in hospitality and food quality

The food was fantastic. The marinara sauce was incredibly fresh and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Chose this restaurant out of Taste Card offer list and location, and glad we did. Food was super delicious - I tried a few attempts of copying their grilled mushrooms with Gorgonzola at home but just quite not as good as what I had at this restaurant. Service extremely friendly, and tables not too closely allocated to others so great if you’re planning a night out with your friends. Pricing on affordable side, it’s a rare find in this location.

Great food, very tasty. I went with friends and we had starters and a main. I also had the orange juice. The waiters were attentive

Located in a quiet street opposite the Premier Inn, and kind of looks out of place but had a lovely sunday night dinner. Service was effective, pasta dishes were ace and a chunk of desert to boot. Prices were reasonable and although quiet, we had a great evening. Worth a wee journey!

A really nice find for a Friday evening. The staff were friendly and efficient. There is currently deals on opentable and tastecard for a discount on the final bill. We had starters, mains, sides, a glass of rose each and a dessert to share. It came to around £80 with service charge. We had a calamari and olives starter. I thought the starter portions were good (unfortunately I was too hungry to take a photo). Mains and sides were lasagne, linguine, courgette fries and broccoli. My salmon linguine was fantastic. There was so much that I wanted to try on the menu, so I will be returning. My only critique would be the price of the dessert. £9.15 (before discount) for three profiteroles seems disproportional.

So glad we found this restaurant on our trip to London, the food and wine were delicious and plentiful and staff were friendly and attentive . We definitely will be returning, thank you!

I liked the food, it was prepared carefully and served quickly. I preferred liver, they served it in the form of leaves, it was not dried out. Tip was not included in the bill. We went without a reservation but had no problems.

Food is ok not superb. Service could have been better. I used to visit this restaurant as it was one of my favourites before covid. It just have recently changed management because my favourite large T-Bone steak is no longer in the menu and the waiters are not Italian. (They used to be). I miss the old Isolabella. The only good thing is that the meal was very cheap, it's 50% off if you book via OpenTable. So for that I'd give it 5 stars 🌟

Amazing food and service. Well priced and great availability.

Good Italian food! Service was excellent

Food and service very good. Only complaint felt staff could be a little warmer and not so direct.Could not fault the menu and drinks selection

Really lovely food with great fast service.

Disappointed We have visited this restaurant for over 10 years when visiting London This was our worst meal. All pasta and tasteless sauce Drinks were very over priced, concentrated Apple juice over £4 Please go back to usual

Don't be put off by the uninspiring frontage. This is a great little Italian restaurant that few people know about, but many more people should. If you can't get a table at nearby Ciao Bella on Lamb's Conduit Street (and really, why do you want to so much?) then try here. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful experience! We came for lunch and the food was delicious (we all had pasta!), the atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was attentive. Would absolutely return. Thank you team Isoabella!

This was a lucky find as it was so close to Christmas. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Everyone raved about the food on my table. The staff were very attentive and the service was excellent. Also very good value for money for London. Will definitely be going back in the new year.

We had a 9 person Christmas meal. Great choice of quality food across the a la carte and Christmas menus. Friendly, efficient, service from lovely staff.

The food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Glad I found this restaurant, we’ll definitely be returning. Thank you.

Great service, good for big groups. Food was tasty but a little too oily

Very good independent Italian restaurant. Good variety of Italian dishes and puddings.

They were amazing, there were 15 of us and they were so lovely and helpful! Thank you

Delicious meal! Everything surpassed our expectations. Starters (mixed veg & Parma ham & melon) & main (pepper steak) were 10/10!

Very good menu and excellent food. Nice and friendly staff, would highly recommend

Had my birthday dinner here and had an amazing time all around. Service was amazing and really made me feel special. The food was also cooked brilliantly. Had a great time will definitely be back.

Lovely go-to spot for Italian. Authentic dishes, superb Italian wine and excellent service, highly recommend.

Fabulous meal, every dish was delish and the pumpkin and peccorino tortellini was to die for. Would definitely recommend and we will return

Great friendly restaurant with excellent service. Wide range of dishes which aren't too expensive

I had a party with about 40 people. We had a lovely afternoon, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive and made our celebrations special.

This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we did not have any expectations but this place is fantastic. The food was impeccable; the portions are generous too! The customer service was excellent and thanks to our waiter Fred who was amazing during our meal. Definitely recommend! UPDATE : Following the first visit, we went there a second time for a birthday meal and were actually quite disappointed with the quality of our food and customer service. The food tasted completely different from the first time we tried it; the lasagna was very watery, almost like a soup. The rest of pastas were tasteless and not to mention customer service. The manager was a different lady this time who would not acknowledge us or ask how the food was, say hello or goodbye even though we were the only people in the restaurant. I’m not sure what happened since the first review, whether the staff have changed since or they just don’t care but it’s unfortunate as the place would have had a great potential.

Fish was raw and incredibly salty. Cannelloni only tasted of cheese, fried courgettes flavourless. They replaced the two fish dishes at no extra charge, and were apologetic, which is why they got 2 stars. I will not be returning.

We had to wait 45 mins for our orders to be taken, then another hour and quarter to actually receive our food ! Which was not cooked properly

I had my birthday dinner here and can attest to the fact that is a perfect place for big group dinners! Their service is lovely and staff are so friendly and give you great recommendations. They have a good veggie selection which I love! I would recommend their cannelloni (if you love cheese) or their funghi pasta. Their tiramisu is also really good albeit a bit overpriced. Overall, I had a lovely time at Isolabella and I look forward to coming here again!

Troubling choosing an awesome authentic Italian place? ‘Im a foodie’. Just go here. Its quaint, delicious, proper authentic and awesome service! Thank you so much for the great dinner!

Très beau restaurant, en plus de ça les plats sont bons et sont servis rapidement. De plus les serveurs Ricardo et Claudia sont aux petits soins pour leurs clients. Si vous passer par là ça vaut le détour.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Hearty Italian food. Tiramisu v. tasty. Finished the meal with a very generous serving of port!

Good food but £4.75 for a soft drink and it was from a multi pack which is not allowed to be sold on it’s own 😡

Almost empty lunchtime, over cooked the cod, which also had several bones in it. Basics done badly.

Not a single smile or friendly gesture from any of the serving staff. All boring men in black! Food was average at best.

Brilliant Italian food, the Vongole was fantastic. Starters were huge, main course perfect, desserts were delicious. Staff friendly, swift and helpful. Highly recommended!

Great food fresh cooked service fantastic all round professional people

Amazing staff, food and atmosphere 👌

Amazing place with authentic Italian food !

Went here to celebrates a friends birthday. There was a large party of us (34). The restaurant and staff couldn't have been more helpful, in that they allowed us to put up banners and pictures of the person whose birthday it was, also throughout the evening they were really attentive and nothing was too much for them. Service wasn't rushed so it made for a great dining experience as well allowing time to chat to friends between courses (we were probably in the restaurant for 3 hours). The food was plentiful and really tasty and everyone in the party sat near be seemed to think the same. If there was one criticism (and it in no way affects my thoughts on the service and staff) was those who had ordered sides had to wait for them whilst the staff served everyone their main dishes. However with 34 of us you can't expect to have everything at once. I am just amazed, as I always am in restaurants, how the chefs managed to get everyone's main dishes to come at the same time, especially given there was 34 of us !!!! Another thing which shows how good this place is was I noticed that there was very rarely an empty table and there were customers coming and going all the time we were in there, not sure if they had booked or reserved but that is always a good sign. I would also add that the price I have shown below would be an average across all 34 of us. Some had more expensive meals whilst some had Wine to drink whilst others just had beer

Not special. Cheap cheese and sausage for pizza. Normal pasta.

The food was lovely the portion sizes on some of the dishes are huge. Lovely decor and helpful staff

Chill restaurant. Italian cousine. Good service.

very good service and excellent food

Quick service and delicious food.

Reliable Italian restaurant. Quite reasonable price for Central London. Nice decor. Drinks are a bit pricey but the food tastes good and fresh.

Had an excellent meal here. There was a large choice on the menu and the dishes were well presented with lots of flavour. Service was pleasant. It did start to get busy at around 6pm on a weekday so I'd recommend reserving a table in advance.

Friendly service, great food and pleasant atmosphere. Recommend the mozzarella sticks and cannelloni. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic food and service! We had a team dinner here and everyone was delighted with what they ordered. Great wine selection on offer too. Service was fantastic, food very authentic and the tiramisu was exceptional. Service was friendly and attentive, and quick as well. Would recommend!

Very disappointing meal. Too salty. Dried out pasta. Chewy meat. I visited on the back of the glowing reviews on Google. Worst Italian meal.

Service is very good! Food is amazing, especially the lamb & homemade cheesecake... Also this place accepts Tastecard :D

Excellent service provided by experienced and courteous team - together with 1st Class food 👏

There was a brilliant atmosphere in the restaurant every table was filled service was perfect - as usual and the food was out of this world , the steak was as good as any restaurant I have ever been. GRAZIE MILLE!

Great food and service, would visit again

Great food, great service. If you love Italian food, then this is a great place. Wine is on the expensive side, but don't let that stop you. We had two bottles, great evening.

Such a wonderful place, everyone was just lovely, especially a Portuguese waiter, he was very friendly, helpful and patient with us. The food is tasty, good portions and very well presented, good timing in between starters and mains, we also had desserts that were delicious. Price are good! We had 2 bottles of Prosecco and still was a very good price each.
