My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

    I have been to Queenstown a few times, both at the little Italy and UTC location and the little Italy restaurant has always been the best experience. High quality meat and fresh produce, the food and drinks exceed expectations. Loved the gingerbread house decor during the holidays as well but the decor is nice year-round.

    This was a last minute reservation and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was so friendly and it’s a casual ambiance which I appreciated after walking around all day. The food was great. We had salads and everything was fresh and tasty. We order the chicken parmigiana, tortellini Alfredo, and lasagna. All were excellent. My only critique was the Alfredo was a bit thicker my liking but overall you can tell was freshly made. The tomato sauce tasted very homemade which was nice. The prices were excellent too.
