Isabella's Estiatorio
4.7
This elegant eatery attracts well-to-do suburbanites and others in the mood for upscale, Mediterranean dishes with Greek, French, Spanish, Italian and even Moroccan influences. Windows make for walls in the bustling 110-seat dining room, flanked by tile floors, cream-colored, art-lined walls, and a more intimate, and quieter, bar and lounge area. During warmer weather, a 60-70 seat patio opens up for alfresco dining. Seasonal offerings might include olive-brined pork fillet with heirloom cannellini beans, rainbow Swiss chard and pear and ginger chutney; tagliatelle with wild mushrooms, fava beans, asparagus, Vidalia onions, pine nuts, truffle oil and Lebanese yogurt; or pan-roasted halibut with spring garlic and baby spinach marmalade, confit potatoes and Kalamata tapenade. An elaborate wine list features over 70 bottles with a wide variety of type and price.
