Located in the lush green landscape of Glyki, just a short walk from the crystal waters of the Acheron River, ISABELLA TRATTORIA Pizza Pasta is a place that truly stands out. It’s not just another restaurant in the area — it’s a destination for those who appreciate authentic Italian cuisine, quality ingredients, and a carefully crafted atmosphere.

After exploring the Acheron Springs or enjoying a day in nature, this is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and experience something different.

Behind the experience is Ilias Diamantis, a host with a deep love for travel, aesthetics, and Italian gastronomy. His attention to detail is visible in every corner of the restaurant — from the design and ambiance to the philosophy behind the menu.

The space is elegant, warm, and thoughtfully curated, surrounded by nature. Sitting here, you genuinely feel like you’ve been transported to a small Italian trattoria.

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.

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.

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.
