Isabella’s Street Kitchen is now open on East Boulevard in Aljada, Sharjah.
The restaurant is the sister concept to Isabella Cucina Italiana in Dubai.
Menu highlights include Spicy Rigatoni Rosa and Diavolo pizza.
The new Sharjah restaurant serves pizzas, shareable pastas and alcohol-free aperitivos.
Aljada’s burgeoning dining scene has welcomed a new neighbourhood Italian restaurant. Isabella’s Street Kitchen has opened on East Boulevard, bringing relaxed Italian dining, familiar flavours and a community-focused spirit to Sharjah.
The new concept comes from Blue Coral Concepts and is the sister restaurant of Isabella Cucina Italiana at Vida Emirates Hills in Dubai. However, Isabella’s Street Kitchen in Sharjah has been created with a more casual rhythm in mind.
The interiors take inspiration from a contemporary Italian courtyard. Terracotta hues, deep burgundy tones and olive green accents are paired with aged timber, exposed concrete and handcrafted tiles. Climbing greenery adds an Insta-worthy moment while providing the space with a lived-in charm.
At the centre of the restaurant is an open kitchen, where guests can watch the team at work. A copper-clad, wood-burning pizza oven serves as the focal point, producing thin-crust pizzas made with double-zero flour. The result brings together Italian baking traditions with the crisp bite of a classic New York slice.
The menu is rooted in Italian tradition and shaped by Mediterranean influences. Under the guidance of Group Chef Howard Ko, dishes are designed for sharing, with an emphasis on comforting flavours, familiar favourites and accessible pricing. Highlights include the superb Spicy Rigatoni Rosa, Diavolo Pizza with San Marzano tomato, spicy pepperoni and hot honey, Chicken Parmigiana, and Isabella Steak Tagliata with crispy roasted potatoes.
The beverage programme takes inspiration from Italian aperitivo culture and reimagines it through an alcohol-free lens. Signature drinks include La Rosa Di Isabella, made with strawberry, rose and vanilla, and Bergamot Bay, which combines citrus and elderflower. A dedicated spritz selection and a strong coffee offering help the restaurant move from daytime dining to late-night gatherings.
Hicham El Bouab, Operations Manager, says, “With Isabella Street Kitchen, we wanted to create something that feels instinctive, a place people come back to without thinking. It’s not about formality or occasion, it’s about warmth, consistency and that feeling of ease you get when somewhere just fits into your routine.”
Isabella’s Street Kitchen is in good culinary company in Sharjah’s Aljada, joining FACT favourites Berenjak, Kokoro, Moonslice Pizza and the soon-to-open tashas, and The Char’d Club.
