500 reviews for Isabella's Taverna & Tapas Bar

It was good at very reasonable price.

Got a virgin Bloody Mary and they charge me $15 when the other Bloody Marys with alcohol were under $11. So if you’re sober don’t go here .

Wonderful selection of tapas

This is an excellent place to eat authentic well cooked food. It's a Frederick must!

Isabella’s remains one of the best on all fronts. Our waitress, Emily, was exceptionally professional and paid great attention to detail with my family and I. The bartenders, whose names I do not know, are highly skilled, and quick, making a playful blackberry margarita and a scrumptious, deeply flavored old fashioned with a tasteful sprig of rosemary. The espresso martini here has a secret ingredient that elevates it above all others I have tried in my experience as a critic. I can’t forget the chefs’ work; every time I visit, I have found a new dish that surprises and delights me. To list them here would take too long for a quick review. My many compliments to the Isabella’s team, for it is their handiwork, care, and labor that makes this place truly great.

Exceeded expectations

Met up here with friends we haven’t seen in two years, and Blair was so kind and patient with us as we laughed and caught up with each other. She offered fabulous suggestions as we knew we wanted to try and share a lot of different things. Blair even made me a fruity, delicious, nonalcoholic drink for me because I’m pregnant and the rest of our party was having sangria. You can’t go wrong with any of the food here, everything was so delicious. My husband and I definitely want to come back and bring more friends!

We probably dine out more in the Frederick area than about anyplace. There are many fine choices, up and down Market Street, back and forth across Patrick Street and in the hinterlands (up by Wegmans, over on East Street, down near and past FSK Mall, out on the Mile, etc. All of them considered, we have a new (to us) favorite Frederick area restaurant and Isabella's is it. For taste, promptness and courtesy of service (ask for Jessica by name) value and most of all by taste, Isabella's knows just what its doing and it delights with every mouthful. The three-tapas lunch special wowed us beyond all reasonable expectations for taste, imaginative diversity of flavors and value. Portions are generous and you cannot go wrong with what you choose. Apparently, save room for the desserts which also are a point of pride. We simply had no room! But we will be back. And back...

This is a gem of a place. Our group of 4 was looking for a late-night spot for a small bite to eat. The menu was wide, and none of our group had a problem finding 1 or 2 tapas. I loved the sizzling shrimp and the beef sandwich. Next time we go there and hang out as their wine selection and bar looked great.

Chef Carlos is the best! Bartender Izzy is great! She always remembers you and your drink order.
