It's funny to read the negative reviews from parents on the "security guard" because that's the reason why I'd like to give them 6 stars vs 5. Isabella's should be commended for trying to hold parents accountable to monitor their children better, because these entitled snobs make eating out unbearable for the rest of us. There is nothing worse then going to a restaurant where parents let their children roam around like it's their backyard or a playground with no regard for other restaurant patrons. If that's what these people want then they are better suited to eat at McDonald's. The fact that they think they should just be allowed to do what they want because there is grass on site is proof of why Scottsdale is known as "Snobsdale". Get over yourselves people, this is a RESTAURANT. If you don't want to discipline your children to sit and behave in a restaurant, then stay at home or get a babysitter. I've seen drinks knocked over and glasses broken too many times, so good for you Isabella's for doing something about this for the rest of your customers! THANK YOU!
On to other important items. The food and the service are always tremendous. The pizzas and salads are always spot on, salt and pepper shrimp app is amazing and while it's an Italian restaurant, don't overlook that burger. It's fantastic! I've never had any complaints. Great wine list as well.
