Cucina a Isola - Glen Eira

We booked to come here after many great reviews on TripAdvisor and wasn't disappointed at all. We went for an early sitting but the place filled up very quickly so again, book for this popular restaurant.Staff very friendly and you sit down to the menu and a little bowl of spicy olives, a really nice touch.For entree we shared tomato, garlic and Parmesan bruschetta, very tasty and the portions were just right.For main you couldn't go past the pasta dishes and the marinara was full of seafood - you can always tell a genuine Italian restaurant with how good the homemade pasta is and it was excellent.What's sets this restaurant apart is the extensive range of top quality wines by the glass without being eyewateringly expensive - a glass of Scarpontoni Cab Sav for $7.90, hurray! A great example of allowing the customer to try great wines without forcing them to have a bottle.All up a thoroughly enjoyable experience

Had a beautiful dinner tonight.Walked past a couple times and decided to give it a try and do glad we didShared a lovely entree of fettuccine carbonara , lovely dish, tasty and light and great flavoursMains , my wife had garlic chilli prawns and I had scallopini, both were excellent, delicious sauces, plenty on the plateFinished with desserts- tiramisu and pistachio semifredo. Perfect end to a lovely mealStaff were friendly and helpfulNice Italian wines on wine list.Will be back for sure

Popped in for a quick family meal and was very impressed by the food - basic Italian but huge serves and very well done. Great service and very friendly owner.

There is Italian food and then there is good Italian food. And this place is definitely in the good. Loved the variety of dishes, the quality, taste and serving sizes. And really good staff to top it off. Not to mention BYO but also with a good selection of wines (and not the usual ones you expect). Up there with the best of the restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back again and again.

Decent serve of pasta for the price.Full of flavour although the mussels seemed over cooked, garlic bread hard needs improving .First time visit let's hope it's a start of many a eatery along this over developed strip.Ambience great-tables and chairs simple not overdone.Will be back as a regular to try the many Italian dishes on the menu.Hint- BYO
