"I still prefer Isola but I have developed a personal relationship with Marco and he adds a lot to the dining experience."

That makes a major difference, I on the other hand have been to Isola three times and felt like I went there because it was an easy walk from La Vista and I was just another one of the hundreds of people that stay in that area. It wasn't bad, just was not an inspiring welcoming experience. I don't know a sole at Sale & Pepe and in all honesty if I did not go back that would be fine but I do seem to enjoy it there, food good and view is pretty good as well. The Nov Gang enjoys S&P so I ride along each year with a hesitance only to really enjoy it each trip. Izi, I liked the people and the food was good, I wish they had a better location rather than a strip mall. I prefer S&P for that area and Italian.

Again, the people make the difference. #1 reason why we travel so far to SXM. Food, beaches and weather are close behind.
