Learn about Isabella

There’s no doubt that Italian culture and food runs in my blood! My family’s roots in Rome go back generations, and I’ve grown up in the restaurant business. From a young age, I found myself immersed in the dining room, watching my parents work their magic in the kitchen.

These days, people still crave amazing Italian food as much as they always have, but they seek a more relaxed atmosphere than the traditional restaurants of my childhood. When I turned 30, I felt a calling to bridge this gap, and Italian Street Kitchen, in its current form, was born. My vision was to create a space that perfectly combines tradition with contemporary dining.
