    Everything about the dining experience was excellent and memorable, from the moment we were greeted at the door, coats taken, escorted to our prepared table, warmly welcomed by our server, presented with drinks followed by a scrumptious meal. Between the three of us we shared one another’s meal and moaned in delight over each bite. Will definitely return to this restaurant.

    It's a wonderful restaurant. Avi is a genius. Among Gioia's many merits is that they regularly add new dishes to the menu. Plenty of vegetarian options. I brought some Italians from Milan who were very impressed by the authenticity and quality.

    This is our regular Christmas or Thanksgiving location. It’s never disappointed. Pricing isn’t “holiday inflated”, food is always on point, service is stellar. I’m big on cocktails and theirs are lovely. Thought out and executed well. Huge wine selection, and deserts that don’t disappoint. Put this place on your list.
