Joyce is so unique-- it has the Medieval Lecce ambiance with its gorgeous stone and star vaulted…read moreceilings, plenty of wines and Apulian specialties on the menu (friselle!) yet it's also very Irish with its beer selection, pub accents and St Paddy's Day celebration (we were there a few days before it).
You feel that warm hospitality that is so common in this region and it's festive, even when it's not St. Paddy's. They play all kinds of music, especially 60s-80s. So fun!
I ordered two frieselle, a tomato/olive and a vegetarian (loaded with squash, radicchio, and tomatoes). I appreciate how generous they are with all the veggies and olives. A sprinkle of oil and salt make this so delicious and satisfying. Paired with a glass of wine... how good can you get?
