Sicilian born Sebastiano Cappitta relocated it from the Upper West Side and the restaurant is large and has outdoor seating.<\/p>\n<p>Isola has a wood-fire brick oven where they cook fabulous\u00a0home-made pastas and pizza. We had a margherita thin-crust pizza to begin with along with the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella appetizer and the fried calamari which the waitress recommended. Normally, I am\u00a0not a fried calamari fan but it was fresh and delicious.\u00a0\u00a0For dinner I had the Parpadelle Ai Funghi Porcini and Truffle pasta (which is now my favorite dish there) and the rest of my party had the Fettuccine alla Bolognese, the Ravioli with spinach and ricotta, the Lasagna al forno and the chicken dish. All were home made pastas and were yummy!\u00a0We topped it off with 2 delicious desserts. One was a chocolate molten dessert and the other a \u00a0crepe with bananas and nutella.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25533\" title=\"Isola HarlemCondoLife\" alt=\"photo 4\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-4.jpg\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-4.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-4-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25534\" title=\"Isola HarlemCondoLife\" alt=\"photo 2\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-21.jpg\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-21.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-21-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25535\" title=\"Isola HarlemCondoLife\" alt=\"photo 1\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-1.jpg\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-1.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25536\" title=\"Isola HarlemCondoLife\" alt=\"photo 5\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-5.jpg\" width=\"384\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-5.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/photo-5-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have a full bar and a great wine selection. \u00a0The service was excellent, the prices reasonable, and the manager was visible and stopped by our table. \u00a0I heard they have a great brunch I look forward to stopping by for it.<\/p>\n<p>Isola on Columbus<br \/>\n994 Columbus Ave<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10025<br \/>\n(212)665-2970<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/isola-on-columbus-new-york\" target=\"_blank\">Isola Yelp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently dined at Isola Restaurant located at 994 Columbus Avenue (108\/109th streets) and it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":832535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[103804,124715385,9989,124718155,12756786,124715274,34961255,10704,1662],"tags":[32763669,77809719,124716122,124716121,124718158,44368477,93470272,124716123,124715658,173973,124716117,124716120,124716118,124716119,79300,593715,17267223,296200],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25503"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25503"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25526,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25503\/revisions\/25526"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/832535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
