    This was our second time and Gioia and it was just as amazing as the first! The service is excellent. We loved the Spritz Cart that they bring to the table. The pasta dishes we got were SO delicious and you can’t miss dessert! Can’t wait to come back.

    We had a really nice meal. Drinks were huge. Our food was really satisfying and service was great, friendly and well paced Our only complaint, your sanitation team uses a strongly scented spray to clean tables adjacent to ours. I doubt know if the spray the surface instead of their cleaning cloth, but it is unpleasantly noticeable.
