Ispalina Restaurant

Amazing new spot in Boca! Tuna tartare and cheesecake were perfect. Pasta with mushrooms also really delicious, but for me a bit unsalted. And finally burger, not really easy to eat ???? but I mean It’s so good! Highly recommend! The atmosphere there is so nice. Perfect place for dinner with besties or husband.

The food was average. We had the charcuterie board, the burger, and two pasta dishes. Not one bite stood out as awesome. The atmosphere is really pretty but the owner (I presume) yells across the restaurant and his voice echoes on the concrete floor. So let’s just say it is loud. The owner was louder than the music at times which I feel is distracting from the calm glam ambiance this restaurant is trying to embrace. The service was good. Our server checked in with us and made us feel welcomed. I would give this place another shot. But if they can’t figure out how to plate a burger so it doesn’t fall apart or season food for flavor, then I am going to assume they need some more time to get the menu right. The charcuterie board had nothing too special on it. No mustard. The bread you see in the photo didn’t come with the board so if we hadn’t had that then it’s surely missing something.

Interesting little spot in North Boca. Nice decor, friendly service, delicious, reasonably priced food. We had melon and prosciutto, mussels and mushroom pasta. All very tasty and nicely presented. Give this new “gem” a try, you will not be disappointed.
