Isabella Italian Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Bremen Township

This is something I try not to do because I like going to experience different cultures and cuisines an like supporting family own business but Isabella's was one of the worst experiences I ever had in a restaurant if I could give them 0 stars i would an for them to call them self a italian restaurant is embarrassing 1st im going to start off with the service when we first walked in, there was not even a host at the door to seat us and then when the young guy came up, he just told us to sit wherever we wanted i did not feel welcomed at all. And when we sat down, it was pretty cold and he had a little heater going on a table by the kitchen. The dishes did not look like they was very clean, and it was dirt mark on my wife's glass so it remains to be said that we did not even drink the water. They did not bring out no bread-and-butter. When we sat down they did not really pay attention to us. I have to keep on waving down somebody to come. Serve me. When I ordered the appetizer, they still haven't bought out no bread, and when I ordered my drink, they brought out to cans of soda. With a glass of ice and then proceed to tell us that there is no free refills, as well as the cans, costing $3.25 a can they stilldidn't bring out no bread-and-butter. Until they brought out our appetizer, which should've been out on the table before our main course. After waiting maybe 10 to 15 minutes then our dishes came out a little bit too fast. 2nd now ima speak on the food it really seem Like they gave us something that they already had made. It did not taste or smell fresh. My wife told me that the food tastes like an old house. So basically, it tasted like the restaurant Smelled. The food was not seasoned and it was mediocre at best. At this time I ate all my food for over the high price $25 but it wasn't the best. And it was not a big portion for them to be charging that much. I just wanted to get to check and leave. So I have to wave them over once again.And after I gave them the car, they took forever just to give my card back. But this is a side note We were a black couple, and it seemed like they was paying attention to everybody else. It seemed like they just want to give us our food and get us out the door. Which seemed kind of prejudice.I will never come here or recommend anybody of color to come here either after the experience that I had I used to do grubhub and I ordered out and it was really good almost three years ago, but as for now, it went into the sewer so be warned and...

Wow! To say the least today was amazing. I don’t normally write reviews, but from the experience I had today I couldn’t not write one. The food was delicious. And the service was prompt and ready for any questions I had regarding the menu. My server was Paola. While she answered my questions readily, she also gave me time to actually enjoy my food. Some waiters in an attempt to be attentive end up bothering you so many times you can hardly enjoy the food. Paola was an excellent server in all regards. You could tell she was very knowledgeable about the menu. I decided to initially come because I craving Italian and went online for restaurants near me. Over time I had grown tired of Italian chain restaurants serving the same bland alfredo, so I was hoping for a nice sit down restaurant as well as something new. Isabella’s more than surpassed what I was looking for. The menu was both familiar and innovative. I ordered the roasted garlic and the scallops. The portions for the roasted garlic was perfect. It paired so beautifully with the bread and butter. The scallops were light and gently seared with a wonderful aioli to cut the fat. After the appetizers I was stoked for what could be in store next. I ordered the chicken parmesan for my entree. To make it short it was exactly what I was looking for. The portion was huge. The sauce perfectly seasoned and paired nicely with the spaghetti noodles as well as the chicken. Much to my dismay I had to get a box in order to make room for dessert. For dessert I just had crème brûlée. While it is one of the simplest dishes this restaurant really set itself apart. Just from the first bite I could tell it was homemade. To round out my experience in one word would be delightful. I recommend anyone in the area to give this...

We came to celebrate my son’s birthday. He was finally feeling well enough from his chemo treatments he is going through. He loves your restaurant and he and his wife always celebrated their anniversary for the last several years by treating themselves to dinner here. First, the four of us were seated in the main dining room. No sooner had we sat down a large group entered. They were extremely and obnoxiously loud and we couldn’t hear each other across the table. I realized they were there for a good time but they had absolutely no regard for other diners trying to have a nice meal. We finally asked, and were moved, to the front room but the noise was still deafening. We were all extremely disappointed in the food we all ordered. Everything was very bland and didn’t live up to the descriptions. Your prices are outrageous for the portions served. It was a special occasion so I let it slide as I wanted to see my son smile and enjoy his special birthday dinner. Our server was very pleasant and attentive and deserved the nice tip I left him. I will not be returning nor will I be recommending...
