My girlfriends and I had a lovely experience at La Gioia. We hadn't been before and all really enjoyed the pastas we bought. Service was great and the decor is really tastefully done. We will be back.

Valentines Day lunch at La Gioia, we had the ragu di manzo, rigatoni con pistachio, caprese salad and the fennel, gorgonzola salad. Excellent presentation of all meals, generous servings and great service. Very enjoyable experience and we both left the restaurant very full. Highly recommend

Lovely food , rocket needed a dressing on the waygu steak meal. A little on the pricey side, but it was very nice if you are going to charge high end prices you need to provide exceptional services. The waitresses were lovely they just needed a little tweeking. But I would come back again.

Lovely service, wonderful food, beautiful ambience!! There's a wide choice across the food & drinks menu. All we had was delicious. As it was our 25th wedding anniversary the owner brought us out a complimentary Botrytis wine at the end of our meal!! We'll be back!

Comparing as we recently returned from Italy and ate amazing food for four weeks. Found the food here to be lacking in seasoning. The pork and fennel sausage had little taste and didn’t stand out nor didn’t compliment the pasta. Likewise, the Aperol Spritz was not what we experienced in Italy or at other Italian restaurants here. Will be back though.
