 You might not think of blue collar Elm Street in Conshohocken as a dining destination. But at Isabella, first impressions are promising, from the well priced bar and wine list to the savvy service and comfortable setting. Chef Michael Cappon's food continues, and furthers, the effect. The talented young chef knows the secret of letting ingredients shine, sans fuss. His small-plate menu ranges from such dishes as drunken figs stuffed with Valdeon blue cheese to savory clams with chorizo and three meaty lamb chops drizzled with a fig sherry reduction. We recommend the purse of house-made burrata, filled with savory cream and served with truffled honeycomb. A seasonal grilled peach salad was another winner; ditto the Spanish Caesar with boquerones and Arbequina olive oil. Thin-crusted pizza sports toppings framed by San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. A meal of small plates and pizza satisfies, or add a filet with romesco or perhaps the “fruta del mar.” For dessert: a parfait of creamy chocolate mousse.
