Welcome to Gioia & Tei Avon

Where food, family, and joy come together.

At Gioia—which means “joy” in Italian—we believe dining is about more than just great food. It’s about shared moments, laughter, and connection. From our roots as Tei Avon, a Mediterranean bistro, to the beloved Italian restaurant and gathering place we’ve become, family has always been at the heart of our story.

Located just above the Zoo Lake Sports Club in Parkwood, Gioia & Tei Avon is a welcoming escape from the everyday. Whether you’re joining us for a scrumptious breakfast, a relaxed family lunch, or a delicious dinner with friends, you’ll find a space filled with warmth, tranquility, and truly memorable food.

We’re a place where the whole family can feel at home. Our dedicated child minders are here to take care of your little ones, while our outdoor play area offers a safe space for kids to enjoy fresh air and fun. Parents can unwind, connect, or even get some work done, all while knowing their children are happy and cared for.

Visit us, and experience joy—served fresh.

    We had the best party for our 3 year old daughter. She played so happily the whole day and her child minder was amazing. The lapa area was perfect for our function and the pizzas were delicious. A wonderful day!

    We all had a wonderful time, thought it did get a bit noisy but we got used to it as we were sitting in the children's play area. The child minders were excellent and enjoyed being with the children especially with my one grandson who is a non speaking autistic little boy. Overall a very good experience and we will certainly use the restaurant again. Than you
