Me and my company had a wonderful quick dinner at L’Isolotto. It was just what we where looking for and craving after a long day of roaming around the city. You get what you pay for and the food and staff is authentically Italian. I visited with my friend who spends a lot of time in Italy with her Italian family-in-law and and she was impressed by the cuisine. The staff was nice, the atmosphere was ok. But upstairs looked a lot nicer than downstairs and we where placed downstairs.
Upstairs has better ambiance but quite overwhelming acoustics. Downstairs had more fresh air, but the music was very loud and the playlist very inconsistent which was quite disturbing sometimes; although it made us laugh too.
Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend and revisit next time I’m in the neighborhood. The food and the people where the biggest reason for my positive review. The music could be better, it would help the...

They were friendly, had veggie options and the pizza was delicious! But that's...

If you are looking for a good pizza this is the place for you. I ordered a pasta with shrimp plate. The shrimp were plentiful and big. The pasta was served al dente. The sauce was tomato but didn't have any thickness or much flavor. It was a good sauce but was a bit watery. My mother loved her vegetarian pizza. My sister ordered a mushroom risotto which tasted wonderful and made me wish I ordered it. Nice place for a...
