General Comments
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.
