GIOIA, Italian for joy, is an Italian restaurant focusing on the cuisine of Emilia-Romagna in Oyster Bay, New York.
At GIOIA, we believe that joy & pasta should be shared around the table, often and with love. Chef Jesse Schenker celebrates the beauty of simplicity by focusing the menu on seasonal vegetables & handmade pasta dishes.

At GIOIA, handmade pasta, classically-focused Italian cocktails and warm hospitality come together to create a JOYOUS dining experience, whether it’s your neighborhood spot with friends, a family dinner or a late night amaro.

    Warm and inviting location, food was different and delicious ( we had cauliflower appetizer and two pasta dishes) and service was friendly, helpful and attentive. I appreciated that the Maitre D, Cody, stopped by table to check on us and show genuine interest on our thoughts about restaurant. Perfect location for intimate dinner for one or two couples.

    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.
