An Italian restaurant in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. A must for tourists in St. Barth but also for foodies and chefs. The owner of this cozy place in the center of Gustavia, Fabrizio Bianconi from Rome, is also co-owner of Via Veneto in Santa Monica, praised by the press for being one the best restaurants in town, attracting visitors like Steven Spielberg and David Beckham.
L’Isola is famous for its elaborated recipes, prepared with the best ingredients imported from Italy. The classiness and impeccable reception of the place make for an unforgettable culinary experience. The vibe at L’Isola is stylish, contemporary and romantic at the same time, thanks to the soft lights and modern design. The atmosphere is definitely lightened up by attentive Italian staff.
The chef, originally from Rome, is a maestro in making homemade pasta, thick veal chops with sage seasoning and artichokes à la romana, so good to bring tears to your eyes. The meals range from burrata with prosciutto or air-cured beef and rocket and the fritto misto is absolutely to die for. There are plenty of pasta options, of course, penne or scampi risotto, bolognese fettuccine, spaghetti with lobster and cherry tomatoes. All dishes are accompanied by a strong wine selection.
Clients are enthusiastic, “The most authentic and distinguished restaurant in St. Barth, right next to the port in Gustavia. Even the most demanding palates will be pleased”, Lisa wrote. Another comment says “L’Isola deserves the first place in my personal ranking of restaurants in Gustavia. It shows in the way the place is managed, it’s impeccable. I can’t recommend the gnocchi with blue cheese enough, “It’s hard to find them that good, even in Italy”.
