    Amazing food. The spaghetti carbonara was exceptional. We all enjoyed the caprese salad and focaccia too. It was a warm night and we did find it a bit warm inside. Not sure if the air conditioning was struggling a little. Overall we love Joia and always had an exceptional meal when we are there.

    Really lovely authentic Italian with a great range of pastas. I had the special, a pappardelle duck & porcini ragu, which was delicious. Great selection of wines, antipasto boards and classic dishes. Will definitely go back for more!

    Always nice to dine here. Casual atmosphere & medium priced menu. The only thing I can be constructive about is it's really noisy. We wouldn't normally eat out on Fri or weekend night. Probably because the place was full.

    On a busy night the staff did a good job at servicing the room. Food was excellent tonight and chefs should be commended.

    We held our end of year celebration at Joia's Cuchina and overall it was an incredible experience! The venue is beautiful, especially since it was a nice day and they opened the windows which was a really nice touch. The food was delicious, everyone is still raving about how amazing everything was! The only thing I would recommend improving is the time between courses. We had a 2 hour booking and mains were only served within the last 30 mins. We had to ask to have the desserts packed to go because they still hadn't been served by 10 minutes past the time our booking was meant to have finished. Having said that our server was responsive and very friendly and we had the best time! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!
