    The Crab linguine was spectacular. Spicy with chilli but so tasty. My partner loved the ragu papadelle. The puffy bread dipped in oil and with prosciutto is fantastic. My partner loved the classic margaritas and I had a good bottled stone and wood beer. The service staff gave us free complimentary lemon alcohol drink possibly limoncello as our mains took a little long to come out but we didn’t mind the wait after we discovered how delicious it was. I’ll be honest the bill was expensive but I think it was worth it.

    Had an absolutely exceptional, fabulous, gorgeous time with my friends here today. Dining in the cellar room felt like we had gone back in time. A nice feel of classy casual. The level of service was fantastic, with designated friendly waiters continually checking in and keeping us hydrated. The starter/share plates and cocktails were so tasty. Fuss free, and quaint. I look forward to going back.

    Valentines Day lunch at La Gioia, we had the ragu di manzo, rigatoni con pistachio, caprese salad and the fennel, gorgonzola salad. Excellent presentation of all meals, generous servings and great service. Very enjoyable experience and we both left the restaurant very full. Highly recommend
