The cake looked beautiful, Service was nice. But product was not an authentic Dominican cake. It was mostly an American version with merengue on top. The guava filling was overwhelming in quantity on the cake and was extremely sweet. Will not recommend as a Dominican cake. read more

Wow! Wow! Best Dominican cake!!! the Guava polvorones are to die for... And the pies delicious... read more

The cake was fresh and they did it the same day I call . The owner is very professional and sweet . The best Dominican cake read more

I have not visited this place yet and I am already in lust. Someone brought in a pumpkin pie to the office and I have to say it is THE best pumpkin pie I have had. It was really more like a tart because it was not thick. The filling was creamy pumpkin goodness that was topped with a thin layer of cinnamon flavored merangue and the crust had bits of pecans in it. It was so good that I went through the garbage to find the box to see where it was from. Gioia you will be seeing me soon! read more

I've always been a fan of the sweeter things and was first introduced to some of Gioia's amazing sweets thru Small Tea in the Gables. They were so delicious and I'd come back over and over again just to pair my teas with yet another treat. On one particular day, I noted a post advertising some pies and a Meet the Baker sesh at the tea spot. There was no doubt in my mind that I needed to be there to try the pies and meet the maker of my sudden obsession. Mari was undoubtedly the sweetest and nicest person ever. I binged on all her pies in one sitting and it was friendship at first sight. Since then, I have used her for gifts, catering orders and sudden cravings. I can't say there is anything I've tried that I haven't liked. Check her out online for orders https://www.casagioiamiami.com/ and find her on the gram! read more

This is a hidden gem! We ordered several items for Father's Day (sorry for late review! ) and everyone loved them so much! The coconut pie is incredible! Everyone was fighting over the last bites. We also ordered the chocolate chip/Nutella cookies and they were delicious. Perfect texture and not overwhelmingly sweet. Lastly we tried the guava polvorones, they were a bit hit also. Everything was very fresh, I will certainly be ordering again. There's a few other things I want to try. The cookies make great gifts too! Highly recommended! read more

This is the one. It's been difficult to find a good bakery after moving to Miami and I had to drive 45 min each way to Casa Gioia but oh was it worth it!! The dulce de leche Dominican cake was gorgeous! And a steal for the price. The cake is huge, sturdy and delicious. There is a dulce de leche filling that is amazing!! I also appreciated that they texted me a day after pickup to ensure I liked the cake. Great customer service. Highly recommend. I can't wait to try more of the things on the menu! read more

Best ever desserts and service!! always always made with love!! Everything is amazing but don't miss the tres leches!!

After salivating over Casa Gioia's Instagram posts for what felt like eons, I FINALLY got to try their delectable pastries for myself! Since I live in Brickell and work Downtown, I rarely ever leave the area which explains why I hadn't experienced Casa Gioia heaven yet. HOWEVER, I learned about their Art Basel pop-up at 19 East Flagler Street which started today and goes through Sunday and just HAD to go. Luckily, the pop-up is just a couple of blocks from my office so I grabbed a friend and dragged her over there with me (because I refuse to engage in gluttony on my own). As soon as I walked in, I felt like i'd died and gone to heaven. I was so overwhelmed by the delicious array of options that I had to take a moment to pull myself together. I ended up opting for the dulce de leche churro pops and a nutella chocolate chip cookie. I also got to try the brownie and the guava cake that my friend purchased. Absolutely everything was perfect. It was so good in fact that I may have to go back tomorrow (don't judge me). Also, for the record I did not only have cookies and brownies for lunch. Actually, also at the pop-up was Small Tea, so I got to buy a turkey and avocado wrap from them and pretend to be "healthy." The wrap was delicious! I am so happy I got to visit the pop-up, it made my day! If you're anywhere near this area, GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I need a Dominican lady that made all the staples that I love from my country and she is the one. I've had her alfajores, pólvorones, and my favorite, the Nutella cookies! Can't wait to keep trying stuff!! Everything is delicious! read more

Where do I even begin? My daughter thinks the rosemary shortbread cookies are the best she's ever tried. In her entire life. If I don't have slices of Casa Gioia Zucchini Bread in my freezer AT ALL TIMES, I break out in a cold sweat and wonder if the sky is falling. The alfajores are... RIDICULOUS, and the owner and her mother are the sweetest, funniest most down to earth people possible. You cannot go wrong, ever. Call them, put in an order, or demo their goods at Small Tea in Coral Gables. You will be so happy you did. read more

I don't live in Miami anymore but now she is doing nationwide shipping and I'm addicted again Second, I took her Dominican Cake class recently and LOVED the results!! SO good, and happy now I can always have a bit of home. (One of the funniest teachers too. Cant wait to take another one!) read more

The best Dominican I've had in Miami. Super fresh and moist! I bought the Ultimate Dominican cake for my daughter's birthday party and it was a hit! I even made a request and they gladly met it! I will definitely be buying from here again! read more

Amazing! I tried the mini pies from the Bites Collection and I was impressed not only with the taste, but also with the presentation and the care Mari took to make sure I was beyond satisfied with my order. All of the bites were delicious but special props to the Pecan Pie (fresh and my favorite!) and Lemon Lime (not too sweet, not too tarty, just perfect). I wish Mari all the success in the world in this new venture. P.S. I also ordered for some family members who said they also thoroughly enjoyed the bites! Great for gifts to family/friends! read more

Ordered chocolate chip cookies that were amazing. The bundt cake with guava was, words dont do it justice. Great deserts and cakes. Thanks for the great deserts read more

The best cookies and pastries in Miami for sure! Her rosemary pecan cookies and salt chocolate chips are simply amazing read more

I am not one to post reviews, but I have to give props to Marie @Casa Gioia. I tried their Dominican Cake with pineapple filling and it was the BEST I have had in Miami. If you are looking for a Dominican Cake, this is the place to order from. Thank you Marie! read more

Must try the guava bundt cake!! It is the best cake I've ever had!! Very soft, moist, incredible flavor and was still warm! Excellent service. Can't wait to try everything else!! read more

I was excited with the reviews I read and needed some desserts for my daughter's baby shower. I bought the Nutella cookies, alfajores and Guava ones. They were a hit. Fresh and truly homemade. Brought back memories of my grandmother 's cookies. I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you!! read more

The best of the best , I am totally and completely obsessed with everything the Nutella cookies, the zucchini bread , the tarts , the brownies omg . Excellent quality, flavor and prices. Best dessert in the world. read more

Delicious! Through our caterer Fancy Fiesta we had them at our wedding. The cookies were incredible. We had the rosemary pecan and Nutella I am still dreaming about them. read more

The first time I tried Casa Gioia's cakes was at a kids birthday party. The owner and her mom were teaching cake decoration to 8 year olds. They are both amazing people, kind, funny, and good nature. The owner has a talent for both baking and teaching young kids. I was impressed with her Dominican cake. It's delicious both inside and outside (meaning, the frostin) And what shocked me most was that EVERY SINGLE kid ate their whole piece of cake. I have two little kids and I constantly go to birthday parties where kids just eat one or two bites of an amazing looking birthday cake and then they set it aside. With Casa Giogia's cake it's totally different! Kids love it and the most amazing discovery is that it doesn't have to be even chocolate flavor! So I ordered a cake for my daughter's First Communion. The presentation and taste were spectacular. So much so that everyone commented about the delicious cake! I am very picky with bithday cakes and this one is definitely my top choice!! read more

If your in Miami, you have to try this place! I'm obsessed with Nutella, so clearly their Nutella cookies are my favorite, but the Rosemary shortbread is a a very close second. Honestly everything I tried from this place is just simply amazing! And the presentation is also adorable. Can't wait for you to start shipping to NY!!!! read more

This place is amazing! It's pre-order only since they don't have a store front, so make sure you call in or order ahead online. The desserts are delicious though! Alafajores soooo good. Highly recommend! read more

I am notorious amongst my friends for not eating brownies because they taste "eggy" to me. It's super off putting and so I stay away from them. I tried one of Casa Gioia's brownies on a whim and they are the most delicious brownies I've had in all of my life!! So great that I'll drive from waaaaaay down south just to buy some brownies. I cannot explain how amazing these brownies are you have to try them to know what I mean. Amazing, fudgy, chewy, melt in your mouth deliciousness. If there are any left from when I go buy in bulk do yourself a huge favor. Oh and....You're welcome! read more

Casa Gioia is absolutely incredible!!! I've tried their desserts in each of my three trips to Miami this year and was compeltely blown away! Their Bites Collection is rich in variety, amazing flavors, and beautiful presentation. I also have a serious weakness for those delicious chocolate chip nutella cookies that melt with every bite... a definite must! The owner, Mari, is incredibly charming, talented, and devoted to her work. She makes every customer feel at home and really goes the extra mile to leave her clients beyond happy with her work. It's so nice to find such a unique collection of high-quality, classic desserts with a personal touch and a wonderful team behind this work! You haven't been to Miami if you haven't checked out Casa Gioia yet! (***please open up one in NYC next year!!!) read more

I'm a huge chocolate chip cookie fan, and let me tell you that these have to be my favorite cookies out there!! They are just perfection!! Let me not even get started with the brownies... OMG!!! I think I'm addicted!! :) read more

Delicious desserts! I ordered the nutella cookies, oreo shortbread, alfajores, and guava polvorones to be shipped to California. Shipping only took 2 days to get all the way from Miami. Everything was delicious, but my favorites were the nutella cookies and alfajores! I couldn't stop eating the nutella cookies - they have just the right balance of salty and sweet! The alfajores were really soft and buttery. Mari Angeles (the owner) is very responsive to questions and concerns. Highly recommend and would order from them again! read more
