L'Isola

One of the best Italian restaurants that I have ever visited from the exceptional service to the incredible food and drinks this is a must when visiting St. Barths. The prosciutto was incredible, cut very thin paired with the fresh cherry tomatoes and the Burrata was a great way to begin the culinary journey. The gnocchi and ravioli were crafted to perfection accompanied by a very balanced pommaddoro sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection accompanied by one of the most flavorful artichoke sides I’ve eaten. The addition on mint to the artichokes is very memorable. Lastly do not skip on the desserts especially the semi fredo as it was sweet, salty, crunchy, and sour exactly what is wanted after a beautiful meal. Highly recommend!

We had such a great dinner here last year that we made sure it was on our itinerary to come when we were in town for my friend’s birthday. The service was attentive and I loved the dark sexy ambiance of the dining room. Our group ordered several appetizers to share including the eggplant Parmesan, mozzarella & prosciutto, prosciutto with melon and the mixed salad. We also shared cacio e Pepe and the penne all’arrabbiata. For my main I ordered the fettuccine bolognese and we shared several dishes of the tiramisu for dessert. Stand out dishes were the cacio e Pepe, eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti carbonara and the tiramisu. Truly, I didn’t have a bite of anything that I didn’t love. Only miss of the evening was that one of my friends ordered a risotto that was inedibly undercooked. Overall, I really love this traditional Italian restaurant and would highly recommend it to friends coming to the island.

Best Italian on the island! Great service and very good quality food. Amazing fresh pasta, warm baguette, and more. Some dishes, like the burrata, are a bit too expensive for what they are. But it is all fantastic!

This place was probably good 5-10 years ago, now it’s overrated. Food was bland, really nothing special. We ordered simple dishes but somehow the restaurant wasn’t able to make them tasty. Fish was almost frozen, pasta was bland. Extremely expensive (even for St. Barth), simple burrata shouldn’t be 70€ 👀

If you're looking for a place that defines poor hospitality, this is it. The service staff was not just inattentive—they were outright offensive, treating customers with an attitude that suggested they were an inconvenience rather than valued guests. The wine list, rather than being curated for enjoyment, felt like an unapologetic cash grab—overpriced to a degree that bordered on absurd, leaving no doubt about the establishment’s priorities. When multiple aspects of a restaurant—service, pricing, and atmosphere—are this consistently bad, it’s hard to believe it isn’t a direct reflection of the owner’s philosophy. For those who appreciate dignity, fair pricing, and even a baseline level of respect, I’d strongly advise steering clear of this place. You deserve better.

This was hands down one of my favorite meals that we had while on the island (and we ate a lot of good food). All of the food was delicious! Super traditional, simple, but perfectly done Italian food. The dining room is traditional and charming and the service is top notch. Beef carpaccio, grilled octopus, lobster pasta, shrimp pasta, grilled sea bass, truffle mashed potatoes, and a perfectly cooked filet. *drool* I’m making myself hungry posting about this. If you want a nice dinner in St. Barths, this is definitely one of the places you should stop. Make sure to make a reservation.

We had a great authentic Italian meal. The service was on point and as they got busy the service got better. Nothing at all negative to mention. The food did come out very hot, and nice size portions.

Our dinning here was awesome. High quality service in a beautiful space. Everyone was speaking Italian. Really great cocktails. We actually returned one night for drinks. They can accommodate all group sizes. Excellent wine menu. The Tuscan soup was so good and so was the Milanese veal chop.
