First time eating here and we will definitely be going again. Very friendly staff, all of our dinners were served hot and we had plenty to eat. We had the veal special and it really was special. The veal was incredibly tender. Very happy with our night there. Highly recommend.

I have lived in Englewood for over 15 years and have always looked for and supported good local restaurants. I have seen so many restaurants come and go and we just found this restaurant tonight. Outstanding from start to finish. Greeted at the door, staff (to include Antonella our server) were all so friendly and welcoming and all of our dinners were amazing! We all had the Italian Wedding Soup. . . delicious! Entrees were Primavera, Chicken & Shrimp Garibaldi & Veal Alla Panna. . . and all 3 were outstanding! Would definitely recommend!

Hidden Gem, does not look like much from the outside but your dine for the food! Excellent REAL Italian food and excellent service by Antonella. If you want real Italian cuisine ... this is the place. Reservations a must, they do not accept walk ins.

We moved to this area a couple years ago and have always talked about trying Isabella’s Bistro. Yesterday we finally got the chance. 6 of us went after playing a fun day of golf. You notice the very clean establishment as you walk in and are greeted by a pleasant hostess. One had the eggplant parmigiana which she really enjoyed while another had the veal parmigiana which he liked also. One had the bolognese which looked amazing and he obviously liked it because there was nothing left. One had the shrimp and chicken special of the day which he said was very good. Two of us had the chicken piccata and it also did not disappoint. I can say this.. We will be back!

Outstanding food! We've been 3 times now. Ordered 6 different meals between us. EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious!Service was a little slow throughout, but nothing that would prevent you from going back again and again because of the outstanding food headed your way.Highly recommended. Don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu... Take a shot... Why not??Parking: Right in front : )Kid-friendliness: Not so much...Adult clientele... And Florida casual.

Nice place located in a small strip plaza. Reservations are needed to keep the customers flowing in and out. The menu is good they do serve alcohol and the atmosphere was like dining in a small family restaurant. The chicken parm was very good with a large portion as was the eggplant. Worth a visit

We're longtime residents of Englewood and never knew this restaurant existed. Found it by chance and we are so happy we did. The Chicken Marsala was fabulous, as was the Center Cut Pork Chops w/garlic mashed potatoes and Spaghetti with Meat Sauce.I think we just found our new local spot! Just excellent quality food.

Isabella's Bistro in Englewood is our go-to place for Italian food. It's an hour and change drive each way, but absolutely worth it. To start, the owners, Tommy and Sandy, will treat you like family. Tommy used to own a restaurant in New York that we would frequent often. They want their guests to enjoy the time there as well as enjoy their food. We have had Cindy and Gracie as our servers. Both of them will go above and beyond to make sure you have everything that you need. I highly recommend the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. The shrimp and pasta are cooked perfectly. Spicy but not overpowering. The Chicken Parmesean is a favorite as well. The Fresco Mozzarella appetizer is a great starter. The blue cheese salad dressing is homemade. To close out the meal, try the Tiramasu and espresso. ☕️ The pictures that I'm sharing are some of what we've had there. I will take pictures on our next trip there.
Food was good. Very small restaurant seating is very close to next table. Pretty loud.
