"Although billing itself as a pizzeria, Isola Verde also offers traditional Italian dishes. We were the only ones not eating pizzas, however, in a restaurant crowded with what appeared to be families from the area (always a good sign! . The restaurant, on a busy street, has an unassuming exterior, so it’s easy to miss, but we found an attractive and cozy interior during our first visit. We started with soup, including my very tasty fish soup consisting of mussels, clams, and fish in a clear broth. For our main courses, my wife had a grilled salmon with buttered spinach while I had saltimbocca ala Romana (literally, “jumps in the mouth” , a dish as traditionally Italian as osso buco. Although normally rolled up, the quite good prosciutto was simply placed over the veal and topped with (a bit overly salty brown gravy. The accompanying fettucine was cooked exactly right. My wife also liked her salmon. Best of all, with a soda and a large beer and including a tip, our bill came to just €50. We definitely plan to return, the next time with our daughters, to sample Isola Verde’s pizza."
