Casa Isola Osteria

WOWWWWW!! Would give 6/5 stars if I could! Chiki took care of us and the food blew our minds 💥 secret is it’s actually the Lucali chef owned too!! AMAZING!

Heard a lot of positive reviews about the food and decided to order for delivery. Giving a 4 star for the price point. 45$ for the Rigatoni alla Vodka (+tax), clearly inspired by another fancy Italian restaurant, is too much for a place like this. They should be using Grey Goose for the sauce to justify the price. Yes, it was extremely delicious and mind blowing. But I don’t think I’m gonna order it again. My partner got Vongole, which was good too, but mussels were over cooked and hard to chew. Broccoli rabe as a side was a disappointment.

It met my expectations in terms of the food. The rigatoni and the vodka pasta was something very special and everyone should try it out. We got an appetizer filled with cheese and marinara sauce which was also delicious. I didn’t like the environment tho. Was nothing romantic or spectacular. The pasta was $31 and the appetizer was $14. For that price the place’s decor and location sucked. It was literally below the road, you kept constantly hearing the honking of the cars. The food was great but the location doesn’t make it worth for a date night/ special occasion.

Had some bad and good notes. Let’s start with bad. Hard to find parking nearby. They need to clean the outside terrace will attaché the picture to get a better understanding . Staff a bit too chill.
So far those are the only things which made me not really happy.
let’s go to the good part . Food is great. Prices are great. Also if you get to happy hour lot of items to eat and drink for cheap. What else you need. Would definitely come back and make it weekly restaurant to go to. Hopefully they see this and they will clean the bushes o_0

This place is the cutest reminds me of Ratatouille at the end when they have their new cafe. The food is to die for so delicious. I had the short rib it melts in your mouth oh my goodness and the palenta so good. Not to mention all the sides we ordered everything fresh and yummy. You must go!!
