Gioio Italy is a true gem when it comes to pizza. A good friend suggested meeting up here and we had a wonderful time. The staff were very accommodating. It was reassuring to find out that it was okay to park in the back by the charging stations. We were given the perfect table. Far enough away from the music for conversation to flow and yet close enough to enjoy the entertainment. I had a glass of Cabernet and shared a meatball appetizer that was really good. The meatballs were soft enough and fresh with lots of flavor. The star of the night was the pizza. We ordered a specialty with fig jam, bacon, Parmesan and mozzarella, and arugula. It was surely packed with flavor. Now I know why they have won so many awards for their pizza. We split a chocolate panna cotta for dessert . It was heavenly with fresh whipped cream on the side. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu items in the future. read more

Another lovely Italian dinner for me very much worth the drive! I found Gioia to meet up with a very good friend who lives in the area and is also a connoisseur of Italian dining. She pointed out that their pizzas had one various culinary awards so, and from our experience yesterday, I can vouch that this is very true; it's a great spot for a casually classy date night. Our server - and even who I believe was the manager - came by the table to check on us. We started with a robust glass of their cabernet sauvignon and enjoyed fresh warm bread, then continued with their meatball appetizer. The three meatballs were juicy, tender and served with a robust marinara sauce & creamy mozzarella slices. Then came our yummy main course: With a airy and lightly crispy crust, their "Passeri" pizza was perfect for two. With sharp parmigiana reggiano, arugula, bacon, mozzarella, fig jelly and balsamic glaze our pie was a tasty combination of flavors. Their chocolate panna cotta garnished with whipped cream and a strawberry was a perfect sweet ending, along with their live music / karaoke. read more

We stopped by this restaurant while the Tesla charged at a nearby charging station. Walking in, the restaurant was busy with lots of people sitting and standing watching the World Cup game. They advertise specials during the game which include focaccia with toppings and beer or wine for $20. Although intrigued by these options we wanted a warm pizza and so ordered the crudo di parma. Our server was very polite and friendly and was great at explaining the options. The pizza was good but was just missing a little something: a drizzle of honey or a balsamic glaze... something to give it a little oomph. Otherwise, great! read more

Came here on a Saturday for dinner. Beautiful outdoor patio for dining. There were no available tables outside so we opted to sit inside. Also the inside was beautifully decorated. We chose this restaurant as they have gf pizza. We ordered the caesar salad with gf croutons to start. Absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered chicken parmigiana and a side pf pasta. No lie, the entire plate was full. Gigantic portion. I ordered the salad and grilled shrimp. Very good. My granddaughter ordered the gluten free pizza and it was delicious! All the waiters and waitresses were very warm and welcoming too! read more

I read the outstanding reviews for Gioia Italy, saw the extensive gluten-free menu, and was very happy to see the dedicated gluten-free kitchen space within the restaurant to ensure the food isn't cross-contaminated, so we decided to take a car ride to Hallandale Beach during our trip to Fort Lauderdale to give them a try! The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the patio was really beautiful to sit outside for a relaxing lunch. The pizza was good, but the crust was not exactly what I hoped for - it was crispy on the bottom and chewy instead of a soft dough like you'd expect in a Neapolitan pizza. The margherita also had a bit too much cheese and not quite enough sauce (some was absorbed by the crust) for my preference. Is this restaurant an amazing option for those with celiac or gluten allergies? Yes! Is this the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had? No. read more

Traditional Italian restaurant specializing in hand tossed pizza with a great Hallandale location. Full liquor bar and of course an espresso machine ready to grind up some Italiano coffee for me. The barista was not overly exciting but professional. Took my $3.50 "shot" next door to Crema to compliment my sandwich. It was a tiny offering at the bottom of the cup but very tasty and strong. Will return to eat a pizza. read more

My friend who is Gluten Free could not stop raving about this place so one day we decided to go. When I told them I wasn't GF but she was they brought out two bread baskets one for me and on GF for her. I have the impression that everything can be made or is GF which is really nice as there isn't a lot of restaurants that cater to it. Now I have traveled all over the world and had Pizza so not to toot my own horn but I know a good pizza. We ordered a GF (which I was sceptical about) pizza the one with fig jam, bacon, arugula and cheese as the name has slipped my mind. It was one of the best pizzas I have had in a long time and probably one of the best ones down here in Florida. So if you do find yourself ordering a pizza you might not want to share because it is so good and you will want to take the rest home for a midnight snack. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Making sure we had everything we wanted and had placed our orders. The restaurant was also very clean and had a very welcoming modern flair. read more

First time there; single female to watch game on big screen. Clean, service excellent for everyone. Most people eating pizza. I ordered Lasagne. Small portion for $29.00 but ok. Waiter recommended a flavorful wine, plus had cafe. Two weeks ago, 8 friends went to celebrate a birthday. Happy with everything ordered but small portions. The outside area looks great for cooler Miami weather. Great local place. We will do our part to keep them in business. read more

We arrived without a reservation and were still treated wonderfully. Max gave us a warm welcome and seated us quickly. The service from Braian and Heyli was excellent -- attentive, friendly, and always paying attention to every detail. This restaurant is an excellent choice for anyone looking for gluten-free dishes, with a great variety ranging from pasta to delicious desserts. They also have a dedicated gluten-free station, which provides even more peace of mind and plenty of options to enjoy without worries. The quality of the food and the service make us want to come back again and again. I highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for an Italian restaurant with great gluten-free options. Llegamos sin reserva y, aun así, nos atendieron de maravilla. Max nos dio una cálida bienvenida y nos sentaron rápidamente. El servicio de Braian y Heyli fue excelente: atentos, amables y siempre pendientes de cada detalle. Este restaurante es una excelente opción para quienes buscan platos gluten free, con una gran variedad que va desde pastas hasta deliciosos postres. Además, cuentan con una estación dedicada exclusivamente a gluten free, lo que brinda aún más tranquilidad y opciones para disfrutar sin preocupaciones. La calidad de la comida y el servicio nos hacen querer regresar una y otra vez. Lo recomiendo totalmente, especialmente si estás buscando un restaurante italiano con muy buenas opciones sin gluten.. read more

I was just reminded that I ate at Gioia "4" times, not 3. So I had 4 meals to come to the decision that I won't return. Their arrogance played a part in my decision in their stance that they added Gorgonzola. Not even a wiff. read more

What an incredible, delicious meal! I found the restaurant on Find Me Gluten Free and was excited about the plethora of GF options on the menu, especially different pasta varieties. We visited during the early evening and were the only people in the restaurant so got quick service, and our server was attentive. They have a totally separate GF prep area which is amazing! Both meals (gluten free and gluten filled) were tasty and the serving sizes allowed for leftovers, too. The warm gluten free bread was such a nice touch! read more

Oh my God! What a find! I was driving around Miami searching for a truly authentic Italian restaurant that also offers gluten-free options--and we hit the jackpot. This place is absolutely incredible! Honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had, whether you're gluten-free or not. The flavors were spot-on, the textures were perfect, and everything from the appetizers to dessert was made with love and precision. If you have any kind of gluten sensitivity and you're in Miami, you HAVE to try this spot. The vibe? Totally on point. The service? Top-notch. The ambience? Like being transported to an upscale restaurant in Italy. And the owner? A class act he personally visits every table, making sure every guest feels welcomed and appreciated. You can tell the whole team reflects his passion and warmth. 10/10 -- This place is a gem read more

Terrible restaurant. On my first visit, despite my dissatisfaction they charge me the full price and said I should give the place a 2nd try and they'll "take care of me" Last night I was craving pizza. Me and my partner are "Piola" pizza fans and wanted to try something else. I ordered 2 personal pizza and one glass of white wine. Paid $7 extra for Burrata which was SPOILED tasted sour and fermented and we tossed it. The pizza was super average. Every time we picked a slice; the entire toppings slide right off. Then the bill came. It's was $87 dollars. I couldn't believe my eyes. We order the same size pizza twice a week for $40 for both. Left 18% to the server who was very sweet and kind, and paid over $100 in total for just wanting some pizza. What a rip off how do they have the guts to charge that. read more

Amazing service and great ambiance!! Our food was really good except the anchovy pizza was too salty but they switched it out for us.

Where do I start ? Everything is fabulous. I feel like I am in the middle of a Piazza in Italy. The vibe is uplifting ,the service impeccable and best of all is the amazing food. We had salad and Pizza. The best vegetarian pizza of anywhere including New York! I have had their entrees before as well and they are all fabulous.!! read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday. The place has a sleek, minimalistic look to it with both indoor and outdoor dining areas. The staff is very friendly and the place seems to be a very authentic Italian restaurant. We ordered some appetizers that were very tasty with high quality greens and cheese. The restaurant also has many gluten free options including bread and pizza. It's a great place to go for gluten free food. The gluten free bread was very good. I ordered a risotto dish which had both pork and mushrooms. I had to send it back because it was too salty, but the server assured me that they can fix it by adding more water. I couldn't fully understand him with his Italian accent. However, when he brought it back, it was a lot better, but something I wouldn't order again. So, all in all a high quality authentic Italian restaurant with a huge gluten free menu, but also non gluten free dishes. I would go here again and probably try one of their many pizza options. read more

Food was spectacular. We had the bruschetta, tagliatelle bolognese, Caesar salad, Nutella pizza, Margherita pizza. Everything was superb. Felt like I was in Italy.

I served in Iraq and Afghanistan with Italian forces and really grew to love them and their culture. I enjoyed being back around their hospitality and passion. This place probably didn't import their great ingredients but they did import their staff direct from Italy. Lucas was out waiter and he was so helpful and fun. The food was amazing and service was very attentive. HIGHLY recommend the pizza!!! Best gluten free pizza you'll find anywhere!!! read more

Lovely place n Hollywood. Authentic Italian, great staff. Owner as quite involved while we there. Had the chicken Milanese, delicious.

We've been fans of this great establishment since its arrival in the 33019 zip code . We were in need of a good Italian restaurant without the heavy American added ingredients. Tonight was family birthday and we were met at the door by our waiter Brian .. who was outstanding in very way. He was so attentive to us and gave us the best service all night . They also left us alone to enjoy each course .. some of us had the scrumptious salads and the rest of us had a mixture of pizzas and the beautiful pastas . We all travel for our work and love to eat well and Gioias is up there with any place in Manhattan or LA in service and style .. Go there if you want a good night and if you're lucky you'll get Brian or one of the other fabulous staff to look after you ! read more

Been there 50 plus times. First, I love the staff. They are always with smiles and so nice. That is good start to walking in. I'm a creature of habit. I love their gluten free garlic crust appetizer. They nail carpaccio and enjoy all of their salads. Their reds are all old world, which I truly appreciate, with good price point. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's busy. I'm always so happy to see them busy because it means people recognize authenticity. The environment is very tasteful, not too flashy but modern and comfortable. You should to experience the place for yourself. read more

Ducked in to check out the spanking new and larger and swankier location. I loved the first location in downtown Hollywood, on Young Circle. This new spot has only been open a few days. Still has that "new car smell!" Gold Medal Pizza Champion Massimiliano Stamerra has definitely leveled-up with his new location, and re-created the magic! Chef is currently the most decorated (medals-wise) pizza champion on the planet. All of his many medals and accolades and trophies are on display in the spot. Very impressive. Oh, he's also an acrobat. And has an amazing vibe, too. Nice and sincere guy, for sho! Here a few reasons why this place rocks: * Great ambiance. Located in new and trendy Atlantic Village. * More seating (70 seats more) than the previous location! * All new furniture. New everything, including a gorgeous, new Marana Pizza Oven! * Variable seating options. * An abundance of free parking! SCORE! * 48 pizzas on the menu. Including gluten-free options, and Scrochiarella Pizza--crispy exterior with a fluffy, tasty, moist, soft interior. Yasss!! * Excellent seafood and pasta. * Impressive and unique wine selection. * Full. Liquor. Bar!! Andre makes the jam drinks! * Exterior wood-burning pizza stove. SCORE! * Exterior seating on the West, North, and East side. * Excellent service. * Appropriately priced. Love the place. I've known Chef for over 3 years now, and he is a rockstar. He was one of the founding restaurants in my now-famous Hollywood Florida Food Tour. Videos aplenty of Chef and more on my YouTube. Visit NOW, tell him Cabeza sent ya', see you there! Your boy, Steve, OUT! read more
