Isabella's Italian & Seafood Restaurant

The food is excellent and the prices are more than reasonable. The seafood in the pasta is always fresh and there is plenty of it. For such amazing prices, it's excellent value but I guess they make their money from drinks and entrees as these are overpriced. The decor is dated and the cash register area is cramped. Because it is a narrow restaurant, when there are noisy diners there, the sound bounces off the walls which makes it very unpleasant and loud. They are always busy which is an indication of great food. The service is friendly but it is hard to get the attention of a waitress. They seem to be focused on one thing only and dont look around the restaurant to see if anyone needs help or if tables need to be cleared. If they are busy, I usually get a take away to avoid the loud backbackers.

Good food but the interior design needs a redo. Room is too bright. Dim the lights and redo the area around the register and counter. They've crammed a table into the corner so it's really awkward and tight to walk past for staff with plates of food when take-away guests are waiting for their food. Sacrifice one table for the comfort of guests and staff.

Isabella's restaurant is a great little place in Randwick with a lovely owner. advertised as an "Italian seafood restaurant" but really just a mix of pastas, schnitzels and fish and chips. It has a huge range of breakfast options too. People wouldn't be going here for the high quality food, rather the significantly cheap prices. Don't get me wrong - the food is nice, but I don't want to give the impression it's fine dining. Pastas are only $11 and steaks $14 - this is insane!!

they're open 7:30-3pm and then 4:30-10 and they are ALWAYS busy. Usually with families, dates and heaps of backpackers after a night out. ...read more
