Izabella Ristorante Italiano

Recommended by my sister, I decided to try dinner during my stay there. The food was excellent but the service was even better. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant was clean, rustic, and comfortable. I'll definitely come back.

Excellent food and service. Even the complementary bread was amazing. We had chicken saltimbucca and linguine with clams,, which were both very flavorful. We came right as they opened at 5pm and line was already starting by 6pm. Great choice for Italian in South Lake Tahoe

Best Lasagna we have ever had! Definitely big enough to share. House Red went perfectly with it! Calamari with the sweet chili like sauce was amazing. We had Ricky last nice and his service was impeccable. Very attentive and super friendly. We were in Tahoe in March 2024 and came here and was our first stop for dinner on our return trip in August of 2025. Grab a reservation and enjoy!

Fantastic dinner service! I definitely recommend setting a reservation during the holidays because they were super busy. They do a fantastic job getting people in and served timely. Service was excellent, our server was friendly and had great recommendations, and everything was delicious. There is an excellent wine menu and the atmosphere inside is calm after a day on the slopes.

My wife and I had a great dinner here a couple weeks back. Food, wine and service were really good. I had the linguini and clams, which are not necessarily the most exciting meal, but it was very good. My wife had the spaghetti and meatballs and she loved that. A very big serving, as well. Also had the bruschetta appetizer and that was good too. Service was excellent here from our main server Jonathan, to all those assisting. Our waters were constantly refilled and our used plates quickly taken away. Was a really good dinner out.

Excellent Italian dinner with family on a weekend in South Lake Tahoe. What a great discovery! Conveniently on the boulevard, with a free parking lot at the rear and along the window front. Fully wheelchair accessible from parking / sidewalk with ramp. Called in for a reservation late afternoon, took a table at 7pm. We went there mid October, although during shoulder season the place was packed and many families were on a waitlist. Greeted by friendly, welcoming front desk and seated within minutes by helpful usher (booth table at the window). Server welcomed us, provided menu/drink list and explained the daily specials. Ice water, our drinks, and bread with olive oil were quickly served while we selected our dishes. We shared two appetizers, followed by mains and desserts. What a feast, can't remember when I had Italian comfort food that good. Tasty, delicious, hot plates and big portions. Yummy! At a great pace of being served, absolutely not being rushed. High five, highly recommended!!!
