Casa Isola
Italian-American classics, semi-authentic Italian cuisine, and whatever new dishes cooks Mendin and Agnello come up with are all available at Casa Isola. Nobody is going to argue that Pubbelly Sushi's butter crab roll is genuine Japanese food, but after you've dipped it in drawn miso butter for the first time, you'll crave it every single day of your life.
The menu at Casa Isola, a sibling establishment, is similar in that it combines classic Italian and Italian-American dishes as well as whatever new delectable dish the cooks behind this concept come up with tomorrow. José Mendn of Pubbelly and Santo Agnello, a former chef at Lucali, worked together to create the restaurant. They filled the menu with meals they enjoy cooking for their families at home.
Grab a seat outside in the heart of the popular Sunset Harbour eating scene, which has quietly become the area's favorite. Here, José Mendn of Pubbelly Sushi and Santo Agnello, a former chef at Lucali, created a cuisine that combines semi-authentic Italian and Italian-American classics. Start with the well-grilled branzino served on a bed of brothy clams, the beef carpaccio, which is a combination of textures and an umami explosion with truffle shavings on top, the eggplant parm bubbling in a cauldron of gooey cheese, and the rigatoni with vodka sauce, which may be the best version of it on the beach or at least the most reasonably priced (hear that, Carbone?).
