Restaurants near North Gate Shopping Center

If you're on the hunt for a culinary treasure trove, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! The dumplings here are nothing short of exquisite, bursting with flavor in every bite. The experience is made even more delightful by Stefan, our server, who was both friendly and professional, adding a personal touch to our meal. With such impeccable service and scrumptious food, I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Everything was perfect, and it was nice to go into a busy restaurant where you could actually hear each other talk. Our server was incredibly attentive and fun, and the food was outstanding. They were very good about taking us significantly before our reservation (concert got out earlier than expected). Isa Bistro never disappoints.

Excellent service and excellent food as always! We love the Corner Room!

Exceptional food! Everything is prepared with attention to detail, well-sourced, top quality ingredients, and a lot of love and imagination. The menu features northern Italian regional dishes, so there are many items that won't be found at other Italian restaurants in town (or, frankly, most Italian places in Boston, either). The servers are knowledgable and they actually pay attention to what you want -- they are able to give you some space to linger over your meal or to help you zip out the door on time for your next thing, if needed. I'm looking forward to returning frequently to explore the menu and the wine list.

Inventive and well-balanced dishes. Poached pear on salad dressed in a perfectly crafted dressing followed by crispy duck breast over risotto and warm but not mushy spinach, under a sweet apple-walnut glaze could not have been better. Even the basic burger my wife had was the best burger she’s had in a long time, accompanied by house-made chips that were light and crisp (but skip those if you’re not a pepper fan and go for the fries instead). Our server could not have been nicer and more helpful, without being pushy or intrusive. And the space is warm and welcoming. We will certainly be back.
