I eat at a lot of Italian and cook a lot as well. I could have done this better myself in half the time. I would not have served this to my enemies, it was on the same level as a ready meal.

I was a nice restaurant but the food just wasn't that great. We ordered the pizza special and it just wasn't that special. The dough was tasteless and the tomato sauce flat.
Nice enough décor, service was good, however the food is terrible. If you like Bland food covered in heaps of cheap mozzarella in an attempt to mask the complete lack of flavour this is the place for you. The best part of the dining experience was the mint you get with your cheque.
There was just the two of us and a group of four (already finishing their dinner) at the restaurant. The service was incredibly slow and rather unfriendly. My salad was just OK, but my spouse loved his pizza. Not enough for a second dinner, though.
Stopped in for an early dinner. We were told by the waitress that only two items on their entry menu were available that night. We had pasta, which was good enough, the meat was super salty. Still it might be one of the better italian restaurants in the area.
The food was what one would expect of a midrange Italian restaurant. The service was casual but pleasant. The decor was dark; albeit we were seated at the back of the room.

We started with a litre of the house red wine, soft and fruity. We shared an antipasto plate of cheese, salami, prosciutto, olives, pickled onions, and focaccia. Two...

Not for foodies. Food was average at best, maybe just one step above a "family restaurant". I had an ordinary salad with shrimp that tasted a little off. Everyone else had pizza, which had a thick bready crust. (More like Pizza Hut than authentic Italian. Great if that's your style, I guess. Personally, I prefer a thinner crust.)
We were...

My daughter reminds me that she also liked the penne. Good meal and a reasonable price. A decent sized glass of chocolate milk for the little guy and a constant refill on the water without asking which is nice as it was a hot day - the kids didn't like the bread and dip but it had some strong flavours...

Isabella's is where the old Claudio's used to be and just like Claudio's it isn't very good. In fact, the food is pretty much the same but the decor has thankfully improved. If you think you'll be getting authetic Italian, think again. The pasta is cooked well in advance and often served old. Typically you'll find chopped up old penne...
