Review: We tried pigeon, quail, lobster bisque, wild mushroom cappacinno. Didn't try wine or dessert (very full already). The food is very good. A bit pricy. Worth trying though, try to get a seat by the window or one of those circular seats. The waitress praise the chef for creativity. Good find out yourself

Review: Part of the Va Bene Group, Isola is a new restaurant located at the IFC mall 2. We were invited to a pre-lauch tasting evening. The arugula salad is a traditional Italian vegetable, Hong Kongers may find it a bit bitter, the lobster salad was fresh and nice. We had minestrone soup, the vegetables were soft, the soup was tasty and it is a clearer soup than most minestrone which tends to use a lot of tomato. We had a pizza with shrimp and white beans, large/thin pizza, we had the hand-twisted pasta with tasty ham, the pasta was very chewy. The roast-beef with onion was very delicious too. Finally, the dessert plate includes cheese cake, tiramisu, lemon cream with peach marinated with red-wine, we all loved the desserts.
