    Kind of weird that the place was empty when we were there on a Tuesday night. The restaurant is a lot smaller than the pictures online would suggest. But service was good and food was decent, just not what I expected for Italian food. Overall, just not a happening restaurant I had expected. Next time better go to North end where people are.

    We weren’t feeling being taken care of. Often wishing way too much long time to get hold of waiter. Food is really bad.

    Best meatballs I’ve ever had! And the sushi options on the menu really make it an all around amazing and unique experience.

    We went for our son’s birthday and they did an amazing job singing Happy Birthday with flashing lights and an upbeat disco happy Birthday song playing on their sound system. He was very surprised and couldn’t stop laughing.

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience than that! It was my babe's birthday, and Joia's vibrant atmosphere helped me make it a lot more extra than I had pictured it. Thank you for the meticulous follow-up with my flower delivery driver and setting up everything before we arrived! The happy birthday jingle as you brought in dessert, simply magic! ❤️🔥

    It was horrible right form the start. The host was rude right at the door. The glasses at the table were a dirty, and the wait staff was extremely confused. I would not recommend

    The Google info said it closes by 12am, so we arrived at 10pm but the guy at the entrance rushed us to order and leave. The waiter managed the situation perfectly 👍🏻

    Went here for my girlfriends birthday. The place is gorgeous. Waited a while to get our drinks. The food is good, but lacking. Since it was my friends birthday, I had informed them in hope they would maybe sing happy birthday lol. That's what we do in NYC. Anywho, the desert came out with fire on it and they comped it so that was cool.
