Cuisine italienne classique mais plus fine que souvent. Cadre agréable. Service manquant un peu d’attention. Bilan sans mauvaise surprise.

My family and I stumbled upon Gioia one evening after a day at the beach. The tables were beautifully set outside overlooking the sea, and the menu looked affordable with great options so we decided upon eating here quickly. We couldn’t have been happier that we did, from the second we sat down the waitrons and manager did everything they could to make sure we were happy. Everyone who works here is very kind. Food was quick, delicious, especially the grilled seafood platter ( highly recommend). We even had some complimentary grappa after our meal. If I ever return to the area. I will definitely come here again. Thank you!

Abbiamo pranzato in famiglia... piatti ottimi, linguine agli scampi favolose, spaghetti alle vongole notevoli ,etc, porzioni abbondanti, servizio molto buono. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Assolutamente consigliabile. Non era la prima volta che ci andavamo per cui posso dire anche qualità costante. Assolutamente, non reale il basso puteggio che compare come media delle recensioni... pranzo veramente ottimo.

The owner is very good and attentive, the location is nice. I liked the pasta with vongole but not the grigliata mista. We wait a bit too long but overall was good. I think would it would be better if they hire more experienced staff, the girls are lovely but a bit lost.

Great location for lunch or dinner with a sea view. Low quality of products, fried mixed dishes burnt and greasy and second courses of fish edible but nothing wow. 5 stars for the smiling and kind staff.

Tasty food excellent friendly service . we were served by the young lady from Bulgaria who's name escapes me.she was friendly attentative and chatty and new how to make a decent gin tonic.
