Isola Authentic Italian Restaurant And Brick oven Pizzeria

I can not understand people rate this not cealic friendly. I came here a lot of times and all the time fully gluten free. The food is outstanding. Tastes the same as when I lived in Italy!

Update: new ownership/ chef and is no longer recommended by locals.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Isola. The owner/chef’s wife is gluten free and he knows how to make GF safely and delicious. My two Celiacs were treated like kings. My husband enjoyed the lobster risotto and my son enjoyed the filet with roasted potatoes. All the side dishes are gluten free. Many pasta dishes can be made GF. I had a lovely discussion with the owner regarding developing a GF pizza crust, he’s working on it and hasn’t perfected it, but I’m confident he will. Our next visit to SXM we will be dining at Isola without a doubt.

Dine at your own risk.

When we arrived we were told they had gluten free pasta and pizza. We were really excited after reading the reviews.

We ordered, had a soup, which came out covered in croutons, and they were upset that we kept the soup while they made us another…. And it only went sideways from there.

They came back after 30 minutes and said no pizza. So we change our order to pasta bolognese and lamb shank with pasta.

After waiting for our mains for another 90 minutes, they came out and told us that the lamb shank was braised in flour and they were out of gluten free pasta.

Needless to say, we didn’t eat, spent 2 hours of our vacation having our time stolen from us and left angry. Also, they are over priced and tried to charge us for the food we couldn’t eat.
