Isola Bella, Devizes

The service was excellent, the food was fantastic. They were very willing to accomodate my Husband who wanted a starter that was not listed. I would heartily reccommend this restaurant to others and will definiately be coming back if we are in the area again.It was also very good value for money.

After passing this restaurant almost everyday since it opened I decided to give it a try with my partner, lovely atmosphere, you can really tell that it is run with passion and great authenticity. Having been to Sicily several times I was thoroughly impressed. Overall the food was superb and full of flavours, and a great honest wine selection to top it off.

had a great time, and would recommend it to anyone!

Friendly welcome, always ready to accommodate any special dietary needs, lovely building, and the food is generally very good and authentically italian.

Overall it is lovely to have a restaurant of the quality of Isola Bella available in Devizes.

Overall a really great Italian restaurant serving traditional Sicilian food. The best restaurant in Devizes by a mile.

As you can probably gather this was not a good evening for myself & my wife, in The Isola Bella Restaurant on Saturday 7th Oct'06. We did get our main meal, but other couples failed to get beyond the starter before throwing in the towel.

The excuse was that the restaurant was busy (isn't that good?), yet was only 50% full when we arrived. Also advised that the Chef was a little slow!

From speaking with friends, neighbours & work colleagues this does not appear to be an isolated occurrence. Once seated, the staff literally vanished. Only re-appearing when each party vented their frustration & requested the bill. At no point was any form of compensation offered as a good will gesture or apologies received upon leaving. If you multiply the number of dissatisfied customers by the number of people they will tell, then I don't see much of a future for Isola Bella. Needless to say we won't be back & also the rub off effect on Franco's as well, from where some of my fellow customers were pointed from.

Isola Bella is the sister restaurant of the Devizes institution that is Franco's restaurant. It is larger, and more stylish - if you fancy a posh elegant night out, then come here. The presentation is beautiful, the food interesting and the homemade biscuits that come with the coffee are so moreish you could end up too wired to go home after repeat ordering your coffee to get more of them. The bar area is relaxing and the only place where smoking is permitted, and you can quite easily while away hours here with their extensive wine list. This is the perfect restaurant for a birthday or anniversary- somewhere for a special meal or celebration. In the future, Ive been told there are private dining rooms upstairs, but for now Isola Bella is settling into Devizes as a wonderful evening out. And if you're lucky, you may even be greeted by Giovanni from Franco's every now and again. A lovely extension to this family's group of eating establishments.
