Isolabella

It's everything an Italian restaurant should be - amazing food, great service, fine wine. Not cheap, but worth every penny. The waiters never seem to be staring at you, but if you look round for one, he appears at once, and they are great at advising good wines for the food you've ordered, from an excellent and not too pricey wine list. If you want a really special wine, however, they have a few amazing offerings. They have great specials, often fresh fish such as Dover sole, and seafood for starters. Their standard menu is also good - my boyfriend loves their steak in red wine and pepper, and their fish selection of main courses is also excellent.

Better to go during the week; Friday and Saturday nights feature live music, which isn't as good as the food. I’m not keen on their vaguely folksy kind of offering in music, so I’ve never been during the weekend. We stuck our heads around the door one Friday and decided it wasn't for us! The restaurant does a good lunch (2 course) meal, which is served briskly for those who need to get back to work! My father quite often comes here for lunch - maybe once a fortnight, and brings clients with him. The cost for dinner for a couple sharing a bottle wine is likely to be about 80 - 90 pounds, and it's well worth it. Lunch tends to be cheaper, perhaps £50 for 2.

The nearest tube is Holborn - the restaurant is about 5 mins walk north-east, via Procter Street and Red Lion Square.
