Great meal with authentic italian dishes. All wait staff was friendly and attentive, specifically our waiter Ivan. I got GF bolognese which was to die for and the GF pizza was also amazing. I could not say better things about this restaurant. I would definetly recommend.

Gioia Italy is truly exceptional!
We had the most amazing experience at Gioia Italy. The restaurant is warm and inviting, and the outside patio was beautifully decorated and perfect for a relaxing meal. What really sets this place apart is the incredible staff. Every person we met was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
The food was out of this world. We are celiac, and knowing they have a separate gluten free kitchen made us feel completely safe eating here. Their fresh homemade gluten free bread and pizza were absolutely beautiful, delicious, and easily the best we have ever had.
On top of that, the customer service went above and beyond. My husband accidentally left his credit card behind, and we did not realize until after the restaurant had already closed. He called the next morning, and they were so wonderful and reassuring. They had kept it safe for him and handled the situation with such professionalism.
We cannot recommend Gioia Italy highly enough. Amazing food, incredible staff, and an unforgettable dining experience. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in Florida. ❤️

Pizza is the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. They give you gluten free bread! And the bruschetta was delicious. Very well seasoned. The tiramisu was good but I don’t think they have mastered the GF lady finger yet – it’s a little gritty. But the cream part was great. I will be returning here! FYI there is a $5 up charge on each GF item except for desserts I think. Also dogs are allowed on the patio!

Catalina was the best server we have had in a long time, Extremely helpful with ordering from their gluten free menu, and very knowledgeable. Which is very important when working with someone with celiac disease. The food was phenomenal! It was the most authentic gluten free italian experience we have ever had. We bought the gluten free pizza mix and the owner was kind enough to write and give me directions on how to make the perfect pizza at home! If only this place was in Tampa! We will definitely come again next time we are in the area :))

Decided to come for coffee, dessert, and drinks. Ended up ordering the delicious regular and Nutella pizza, two for one Tuesday night drinks and staying for hours. Our group of ten had one of the best, most enjoyable nights!! We sat outside because of the live music, courtesy of the wonderful Roberto, who sang and entertained us with such great energy that by the end of the night we, and the other patrons, were like one big family who created one of the most memorable nights ever! We danced, sang, and shared something very special ❤️ The staff is fantastic and the food is great!! High recommend

We loved sitting in the cute patio outside with a nice atmosphere. Services was wonderful and very attentive. The gluten free bread served with oil before dinner was superb! It was fun to have so many choices that were gluten free. We ended up only having appetizers and dessert so will have to go back for dinner but we loved it!

Stopped my for a quick dinner while we were passing through and we were not disappointed. The service was wonderful and the food was great. The portions were good and we overall had a great time. The lava cake couple use some ice cream to cut the the decadent cake. We will definitely stop by when we’re in town again.
