Isabela's - Orihuela

My husband and I ate here last night, we ordered the 3 course menu, absolutely fabulous, plenty of choice beautifully served, the food was delicious, authentic Italian with desserts to die for. We were impressed with the hygiene standards so felt safe. To add to...the enjoyment the complementary Bailey's finished the evening perfectly. We live locally so will be back soon.

As a very common visitor of Spain in the last 18 years and also isabela’s since they opened about 11 years ago in various spatial areas, I have always found eating good quality and very good value. it couldn't run... from Italians, but the menu is as good as some other I'm in. the service has always been good in the past, but this year it is a little possibly reduced due to shortcuts and personal shortage with kovid etc. in comparison to other restaurants in the opposite it looks a bit tired and could do with lightening with better lighting and slightly brighter lacquering. they have a lamp in lights that are intended for three for a past now! because of the current situation they have blocked one of their units, but if they sit on the terrace, it is not pleasant, besides what badly walled wall, if also painted, which could have made originally the glass doors that at least plastered and a better work. because the terrace is below the structure of the commercial center, it is quite boring and the decoration needs really urgent attention. After I have said this, it will not stop coming back to what is still one of the most popular restaurants in the opposite for food quality and price, but the owners cannot afford to sit on their laurels. I hope the dinge will improve and respect my comments and look forward to my next visit in november.

Dreadful service, ordered from the 3 curs menu 10.95 (plus extras for certain dishes,) which, when they take the expensive, it works closer to 15 euro. in any case back to my assessment, 1st of course ordered at 20.10 came at 20.25, which was good, we sat and watched how the people came and ordered and received their meals and at 21.00 we were still waiting for our 2nd course. I made the waitress on this and 15 minutes l8r came. the manager/owner stood all night with a notebook that counted how many people were fed instead of keeping a look at problems like ours. at one point I tried to win attentiveness like a child in school with my hand, but I must have invisible forces. overall the meal was ok, but I found the lasagne that I had to be mostly sauce and very little filling. my judgment 4/10

Visited the New Isabella’s in the new complex in lomas de Cabo Roig good menu with excellent pasta dishes,friendly staff and nice outlook and cosy ambiance,meals very reasonably priced would return.

We sung at isabela tonight. my brother is gluten-tolerant and asked the waitress whether she serves gluten-free pasta. the waitress went to check and came back and offered a selection of gluten-free penne or spaghetti. the pasta court came and became tasty. on the way to home from the restaurant could feel my brother-in-law blooming and when we went home, her likes were very swollen and it became obvious that the spaghetti/pasta was nothing else to ate her, which would have caused such a reaction. we telephoned the restaurant to report that we felt that gluten-free pasta was not used in their pasta dishes. they were totally repulsive. we just want to warn other gluten intolerances that we had a problem with this issue.
