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.

    The best kid-friendly restaurant in the area. The child minders are so caring and attentive, the menu is large, and the setting is very pretty and easy. Love the games and equipment for the kids! Also very wheel-chair-friendly. We keep going back again and again.
