    Because of the advertising emails I have received, I was excited to try "Casa Isola" once again. I visited this establishment when it first opened; the food left something to be desired, except for polenta with mushrooms, which I found to be outstanding. During that visit the "Sunday Gravy" was horrible. We returned this week for the special: $14 Pasta Tuesdays. Disappointing again. The servings were small and very salty. The people in our party who ordered the Bolognese were happy. I ordered the Amatriciana, spicy. I asked if they used guanciale or not and they said yes. The guanciale was extremely salty, and I could not eat it. It did not taste fresh. I am fortunate to spend several months a year in Italy and especially enjoy the Roman cuisine. The food at Casa Isola tasted like something from an inferior Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. We did not order wine because we thought the price to be ridiculously high. I hardly ever give a bad review, but I just have to report the truth! They need to send the chef to Italy for a few months, maybe then, we could see an improvement in the overall taste of the food. The wait staff was extremely professional and accommodating. We sat outside, a mistake for me as the exhaust fumes from the cars on Sunset Harbour Drive were suffocating. I really wish this restaurant will learn from this review. Its a great place to meet, improve on the food please.
