Casa Isola

Casa Isola is an Italian-American osteria in Sunset Harbour at 1418 20th St, from James Beard-nominated chef Jose Mendin and chef Santo Agnello, serving handmade pasta and a full cocktail and wine program for dinner. Its Sunset Harbour address keeps it in a calmer, more local dining pocket than Española Way or the Ocean Drive strip, with a room built around evening reservations rather than tourist foot traffic.

The food and drink

The menu runs from homemade Rigatoni alla Vodka, a signature and one of the most-praised plates, to Veal Chop Parmigiana and a Pappardelle alla Bolognese made with braised rabbit. Antipasti, octopus, and salads round out a dinner-focused Italian menu, paired with cocktails and wine that keep the room social rather than formal. It works for a real occasion or a relaxed weeknight dinner.

Happy hour

Casa Isola runs happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 5 PM to 7 PM, with 50% off cocktails, beers, and wine by the glass plus chef’s signature bites. That makes it easy to go early for drinks or turn happy hour into a full dinner reservation.

Seating and reservations

Reservations are the right move, since Casa Isola is built around dinner service rather than walk-in traffic. There are two seating options, the indoor dining room and the outdoor Patio Isola, so you can pick a cozy indoor date-night table or al fresco seating for a group. Booking ahead is especially useful on weekends.
