    Had an absolutely exceptional, fabulous, gorgeous time with my friends here today. Dining in the cellar room felt like we had gone back in time. A nice feel of classy casual. The level of service was fantastic, with designated friendly waiters continually checking in and keeping us hydrated. The starter/share plates and cocktails were so tasty. Fuss free, and quaint. I look forward to going 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

    My wife and I have had dinner there many times and the food has always been excellent. We have taken many friends there with us and their only isssue was the price of the alcohol. We have all agreed that the service is also very good and friendly. My opinion is if you like authentic pasta dishes well you will have to book a table.
