Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Banker's Hill

Thank you Sabrina for making our night AMAZING! You are the best! The cocktails were perfect and the food delightful!

Isola is a fantastic spot in Little Italy! My party of four and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. We began with the burrata as an appetizer, which was rich and creamy. Our waiter, Alexandri, treated us exceptionally well, making us feel special and welcomed. The Tuscany wine we ordered was outstanding, as always. For the main course:    •   My friend ordered the gnocchi (potato-based pasta) and kindly shared a piece with us—it was delicious.    •   Another friend had the eggplant parmigiana, which he also shared, and it was incredibly flavorful.    •   My salmon, cooked in the wood oven with vegetables, was perfectly prepared and full of flavor.    •   My husband ordered the steak, and it was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. To finish, we had the chocolate budino with caramel and sea salt, and it was pure indulgence! Overall, Isola never disappoints—the food, service, and atmosphere make it a must-visit in Little Italy!

The mussels escabeche brought me back to Barcelona 😩 I’ve never had such decadent sugar snap peas, likely from the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market which is literally right there. It’s wonderful to see a restaurant so committed to shopping local, even the art is locally made!

Was a really nice place to catch a random Saturday brunch….aesthetic was nice and you could see the pool from our seating area. We liked the cocktails and my short rib hash was delicious.

It was an amazing experience I recommend it very much. The worker are actually Italian and know what they are doing, and the food is incredibly good, highly recommend.
