The presentation was to point. Really good looking dishes. But very honestly the food didn’t blow our mind. We had ordered the Tuna Tartare, Beetroot infused risotto, white snapper and a cannelloni main dish that was the servers recommendation.
The Tuna Tartare was a bit of a disappointment as it had pieces of fish that was not fresh and tasted stale and fishy. Not the entire dish though, which made me think that they had mixed stale fish with the fresh one. It did act on our stomachs that night.
The risotto and the fish dish was nice but the cannelloni was too cheesy and heavy. And finally the dessert… oh boy , that was not impressive at all 🙁 We ordered the Pasticcioto. I think we should have stuck to a classic Tiramisu.
But the restaurant is beautiful, love the ambiance, the decor and most importantly the service. The staff is really nice, polite and friendly. Only for that we might just go back to back and give it another ahot.
If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, this is the place to be. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the Italian cuisine. However, for those who prefer spicy flavors, this might not be your ideal spot
as the food leans towards the traditional Italian palate, which is mild and subtle in seasoning.
We tried the Pizza (Sole del Sud), Lamb Chops, Pasta, and Lasagna alla Bolognese—each dish was beautifully crafted and full of authentic flavors. The price is on the higher side, but the quality and presentation of the food make it worth considering for a special occasion.
The standout feature, apart from the food, was the staff. They were courteous, attentive, and added to the overall pleasant experience.
If you value authenticity and are not particular about bold spices, this restaurant is a must-visit for Italian cuisine lovers.
It’s a tough competition for Italian restaurants in Bangalore but La Gioia comes up on the top section due to the authenticity.
Every dish that I tried tasted fresh, light and flavorful which only means you’d want to visit again to try a different dish.
Food was Just awesome. Pizza is a must try. The ingredients of the dough is directly sourced from Italy. The person who attended us was – “Gin” he did a great service, explained each dish profoundly well.
Nice place to visit if u want to experience good Italian food.
Fabulous place for an authentic italian vibe in terms of food and ambience ✨
Must visit !
