Isola Pizza Bar

High volume both in diners and decibels, this cozy little trattoria had an authentic, lively Italian vibe. I was glad I’d booked through OpenTable — a reservation was essential to secure a seat. - I ordered the olive pizza with added mozzarella, and it was exceptional in every respect. The crust struck the perfect balance of crispness and chew, with beautiful leoparding; the toppings were fresh and flavorful; and the sauce was vibrant, piquant, and aromatic. - Pro tip: Save a little room for the tiramisu — it’s melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

The most consistent restaurant I have been going to. They never fail and their food is always made with quality ingredients. I would highly recommend the Margarita DOP pizza. They also have a large selection of very nice wines to pair with your meal.

My husband and I went on our first date in SD since moving here. It was also Valentines Week so we decided to go out and check out Isola! It did not disappoint! We both had wine, shared calamari, Pizza and a pasta dish. The atmosphere was super chill and we really enjoyed our night! Staff was great! The only thing was the pasta felt like it could have boiled a bit longer but over all it was great! Already planning to come back ;)

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The food was really good, but the highlight of the visit was the most friendliest waitress I’ve ever encountered! Big smile and a great disposition. She definitely made our lunch extremely enjoyable….and she’s a Rolling stones fan :)

Caught dinner before a show on our anniversary. Cute corner booth to enjoy a nice, relaxed meal next to the open kitchen. Service was outstanding. I had the beef carpaccio, which was a standout for me as my main entree; lots of lemon in the arugula, which I loved, but was too much for my husband. He enjoyed his pizza well enough but wasn't blown away. We shared the calamari, which was excellent, and salumi misti which was a nice portion.
