Best Romantic Restaurants in Woodbury

Great place for a romantic dinner with a trio of jazz players music in the background. Food was good, drinks were delicious. Service was great and attentive.

Spectacular dinner with our brother and sister in law at Gioia in Oyster Bay tonight. It was our fourth time there and their first. We split appetizers of grilled cauliflower with ricotta and pistachios and warm mozzarella with prosciutto de Parma. Normally, I hate cauliflower but can’t imagine not ordering it there as it is just so good. Everyone enjoyed it. The prosciutto in the mozzarella with prosciutto de Parma tastes a cut above from other restaurants I’ve been to and melts in your mouth. My husband had the tortellini; his brother had the Gnocchi Bolognese; his wife (a picky eater) had the capellacci; and I I had the gramigna. Throughout the dinner my husband wouldn’t shut up about how he loves that place and how good it was. (So much so I wanted to hit him! 😂). Everything was perfect and our brother and sister in law both said they’ll be back. We had a little bit of a wait for the table (but not that long) so the apologetic manager said our first round of drinks was on the house. The pours are generous. The food portions look small, but they are really all you need. You leave satiated without leftovers and enjoyed a delicious meal. In my visits there I have had the mushroom lasagna, the ravioli, the capellacci, and gramigna and honestly can’t say which I liked best. Cappuccino was perfect too. Excellent wait service. Can’t wait to go back for a fifth time and turn on some more friends. (Not many pictures because background pretty dark.)

As always, the dining experience was pleasurable The food was up to expectations as well as the service, staff and ambiance . We are looking forward to enjoying another dining experience soon .

Completely forgot about this restaurant and so happy to have returned. The Wines, specials, appetizers, main courses and dessert were awesome.  I’ll be returning in less than two weeks and can’t wait. Fabulous.

Overall we had good experience. Service was slow and music was loud. It took a long time for the person to come and take our orders. Music could be less loud as it was relatively hard to carry on a conversation.
