We love it here. Such a lovely place for a quiet date night. I had the filet and my husband had the pappardelle. Both were absolutely delicious. Im not quite sure how they make their veg a star, but they do. Such a lovely night out! x
Went for a friend's birthday on a Saturday afternoon, the staff were so welcoming and helpful, especially as we had our baby with us. The express menu was great value with lots of fantastic, filling options. The savoury cheesecake made with goat's milk was a highlight, such an interesting and delicious concept. Keen to visit again sometime to try more of the menu!
I had a lovely lazy Sunday lunch here with my friend. We both chose to go for the set menu offering a 3 course meal for about £30. We both had squid to start with. It was really well cooked and the portion size was generous. I then had the prawns with spaghetti. Very tasty and a good portion. Again the prawns were well cooked and very tasty. My friend had the salmon which she said was very good as well. Service was excellent, very attentive and fast. There were crisp, white real fabric napkins on the table , which i think adds a nice touch of class. All in all i would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will most certainly be back. Great food, well cooked and for a great price :)
Super friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food was excellent. We visited before arranging a concert at the Armadillo and it couldn't have been better
Came here sunday 24/8/25 for my wife's birthday. Food was of the highest order, every dish was perfect for the four of us. The service was top notch too. The server was fantastic, an asset to the restaurant!! I will definitely be returning to Joia and i honestly cant recommend this place enough. Proper high end italian cuisine with an excellent menu with some dishes most high street italian restaurants don’t offer. My wife loved the baccala main and the polenta starter, she doesn’t get the chance to have baccala very often (outside italy) and she loved it. We had the parpadelle pasta with 8 hour lamb ragu which was lovely and rich. The tagliere misto starter has to be seen, like an antipasta it came on a tower of 3 plates and had a great selection. I had a pizza nero for the first time and it was an excellent pizza. I could go on and on about the cubotta stuffed pastry with ‘nduja, italian sausage and marscapone (tasty/first time for us) or birra tiramisu (different/superb) or the mozzarella fritta, my daughter loved them. Cheese pull for her insta😂 anyway if i could give an extra star i would. Just a great experience with top notch food and service. Well done
