What we tried – A real Italian experience

One of the highlights of our visit was the variety and quality of dishes we experienced.

We started with fresh and well-balanced salads such as the Caprese, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, and pesto, and the Rucola Parmigiano, combining rocket leaves, parmesan, and balsamic cream. A standout choice was also the Isabella salad, a more refined option with prosciutto, pear, caramelized walnuts, and gorgonzola.

For appetizers, the experience continued with authentic Italian flavors. The Burrata with roasted cherry tomatoes and basil was exceptional, while the Bruschette with fig jam and goat cheese offered a unique sweet and savory combination. The Arancini, crispy on the outside and rich on the inside, added a classic Italian touch.

Pasta that makes the difference

The pasta dishes are where ISABELLA TRATTORIA truly shines.

We had the chance to try iconic Italian recipes such as:

Carbonara, prepared in the authentic traditional way
Cacio e Pepe, simple but full of character with pecorino and black pepper
Amatriciana, rich and flavorful with guanciale and tomato sauce

A special mention goes to the Tartufo pasta with fresh black truffle, a premium dish that elevates the entire experience.

The quality of the pasta is remarkable, as the restaurant uses Gentile pasta, one of the most awarded and respected pasta producers in Italy — something you rarely find in this region.

Pizza & flavors from the wood-fired tradition

The pizzas follow a classic Italian philosophy, with thin dough and carefully selected ingredients.

Options like:

Margherita Mozzarella & Basilico
Parma with prosciutto, rocket & parmesan
Quattro Formaggi
Tartufo pizza with truffle

offer something for every taste, always maintaining quality and balance.

Sweet ending & signature touches

To finish the experience, desserts like the Tiramisu and Chocolate Soufflé are a must.

But what truly makes the difference is the homemade limoncello, prepared with lemons from the owner’s own trees — a refreshing and authentic way to end your meal.

Atmosphere & experience

The environment is beautiful, clean, and full of character, surrounded by greenery and just a few meters from the Acheron River.

It’s the ideal stop:

After hiking in Acheron Springs
During a road trip in Epirus
For a relaxed dinner in nature

The combination of food, location, and atmosphere creates a complete experience.
