Gioia is a relatively new gem in Wooster Square, a neighborhood where most diners think only of pizza. Gioia has pizza too, but many other innovative and inviting options. My ricotta-filled ravioli was first rate, as was the citrus salad. My husband was wildly enthusiastic about his gnocchi caccio pepe. There is an ample and very fairly priced list of mostly Italian wines. The dining room is very attractive and tables are well spaced. Worth many return visits.

We had a lovely late lunch. The waiter and manager were so kind to accommodate us arriving a bit later than planned. The chicken was amazing as was the fresh pita and dips. Would definitely come back. Lovely modern, warm interiors provide the perfect compliment to the wonderful food. Fantastic service…great all around.
