About La Nuova Isola
Our story, our passion, our commitment to excellence
Our Story
Our journey began in 2005 when Peter and Paolo first opened the original Isola restaurant, bringing authentic Italian flavors to the Isle of Man. After years of success and culinary excellence, we're proud to announce the rebirth of La Nuova Isola in our new location in 2025, continuing our legacy with renewed passion and vision.
Our name, "The New Island," symbolizes our mission to create an oasis of Italian culture and cuisine - a place where guests can escape the everyday and immerse themselves in the warmth and hospitality that Italy is famous for.
Every dish we serve tells a story of tradition, innovation, and love for food. We source the finest ingredients, many from local farms, and work closely with Italian producers to ensure authenticity in every bite.
Our Chef
Chef Paolo Piccoli brings a wealth of experience from working in some of Italy's most prestigious restaurants. Trained in the classic techniques of Italian cuisine while embracing modern culinary innovations, Chef Paolo creates dishes that honour tradition while delighting the modern palate.
His philosophy is simple: let the ingredients speak for themselves. By focusing on quality, seasonality, and respect for traditional methods, he creates menus that are both authentic and exciting.
"Cooking is not just about feeding people," says Paolo. "It's about creating memories, bringing families together, and sharing the joy of Italian hospitality."
