" I cannot say enough good things about Isola Pizza Bar! From the moment we walked in until the end, everything was perfect. The decor is so inviting, and being able to see the wood-fired oven was a highlight. The pizzas we ordered (calzone and a margherita) were fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor. Also, the staff was attentive and super friendly! We went to celebrate a birthday, and they treated us like VIPs. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat now. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here and everything was perfect! The staff were so accommodating, even surprising him with a dessert with a candle! The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, and the food was to die for. I had the clam pasta which was fresh and perfectly seasoned, while he ordered a carnivore pizza which he couldn’t stop raving about. I’d recommend making a reservation as it does get crowded. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here based on the reviews, but my experience was disappointing. Although the ambiance was nice, the pizza was undercooked and slightly soggy, which made it difficult to enjoy. It felt lacking in authenticity as well. We took some time to get a server’s attention, and they didn’t seem as attentive as I expected. I’m not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon, but I hope this was just a one-off incident. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! The pizzas were absolutely phenomenal at Isola. The margherita pizza tasted so fresh and authentic; every bite was a delight! The service was delightful, and we didn’t have to wait long. Their gelato was the perfect end to our meal. I must say, a must-try for anyone who loves Italian food. I would come back in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was great for a casual dinner with friends! The atmosphere was lively, and the outdoor seating was a nice touch. Our server recommended the prosciutto bruschetta, which was delicious! The pizzas were good as well, though I wished the crust was a tad less chewy. Still, the flavors were spot on. I’m not sure if I’d rave about the service as we had to flag down our server a couple of times, but I’d return for the pizza. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Isola based on all the raving reviews. The atmosphere was delightful! However, as an Italian, I found the pizza to be somewhat off from the authentic recipes I'm used to. The crust was crispy but the toppings lacked depth in flavor. The service was friendly but a bit scattered, as we waited a while for bread before our meal. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I’d probably seek other spots next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbling upon Isola Pizza Bar was pure luck! The restaurant radiates an authentic Italian charm, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. However, our pizza was a touch on the bland side. The crust was perfect and crispy but could use more seasoning in the sauce. The service was reasonable, and they shared good wine recommendations. Overall, worth a visit but could enhance their flavor profiles! " (*Curated Review*)
