Gioia = “Joy”
Joy – noun. A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
Over the years, we have managed to put a smile on the faces of people from far and wide by creating a space just for them – almost as if we’ve known just what they’re looking for.

From a Bistro-style Mediterranean cuisine to an up-market Italian restaurant and a trendy meeting place for social gatherings – what has been constant is family. The families that come and go and the bonds that our staff create with our clients are a significant part of our business.

We are now pleased to invite you to Gioia.

Located just above the Zoo Lake Sports Club in Parkwood, Gioia is a space that offers the peace and tranquillity for a family lunch, the safety and excitement for children to play and the stillness and sophistication for business meetings or remote work – all with friendly staff and really, really great food.

    We had a family lunch for my daughters 12th birthday at Gioia on Sunday, 21 April. The food was absolutely delicious, the waiting staff were very attentive and made sure to make my daughter feel special. My 2 1/2 year nephew had the best time in the play area and for a child who is generally shy of strangers, quickly became fond of one child minder in particular, who was absolutely amazing with me and allowed my sister and her husband to finish their meal in peace. Gioia is definitely a favourite and did not disappoint.

    Good family friendly set up. The food was ok - the mussels were extremely salty, couldn’t finish them. The child minders are the worst I’ve experienced in any restaurant with child minders. They spent most of the time chatting to each other or scrolling on their phones, doing everything but minding the children. The waiters were also not friendly. Maybe we came in close to closing time and they were all tired but the child minders and waiters were the most unpleasant part of the experience.

    We were a party of 7 and 1 of the party found his pasta too salty from anchovies but nevertheless ate most of it before advising the management. Despite this he was given a dessert on the house. He said he would definitely go back and so would the rest of us as we had no complaints.
