We were looking for a restaurant that the locals frequented and were happy to find La Gioia. When…read morewe arrived, there were only a few locals chatting in French. The menu was all inFrench as well, but Google Translate worked well to figure out what to order. I ordered the calzone with ham and mushrooms and was surprised how large it turned out to be! While I was concerned at first, my fears were assuaged when I tasted it. Delicious. I got to the middle of the calzone and discovered an over easy egg had been put in it as well. I don't think it really added anything to the overall success of the meal. I used the crust around the edges to clean up the insides that spilled out during the eating. All in all, everyone was very pleased with the meals they ordered.

We also had the pizza that was good, a little soft in the crust but flavorful. Try the Tiramisu for dessert. We are not fans usually but this was exceptional.

This is a popular local's spot and I can see why. We enjoyed beautifully made pizza AND mussels, melon with prosciutto, beef tartare. Great drink selection, too. Delicious and a hit with all!

Interesting place with a HUGE seating area and HUGER menu. Came here on a busy Saturday night…read more There was a little miscommunication with the waiter which landed me in the smoking section (that's still a thing here), but it was a lot quieter than the non-smoking section so I didn't mind much. Service was a bit slow but the place was hopping so I don't fault the waiters. The dinner on the other hand .... eh. I ordered a Corsican specialty which was squid in red sauce with rice (I don't think they grow rice in Corsica but let's overlook that for now.) Perhaps it's because I'm too used to fried calamari but squid tasted odd to me. The red sauce was OK but the rice didn't match the dish at all IMO, so I used the liberal side of bread they provided instead. The dessert of raspberry ice cream was very good. Was going to give them a 4 but then the waiter corrected my grammar on the way out (and had a tone about it). C'mon, I'm in your country attempting to speak your language, could have been a little nicer about my faux pas of "soir" vs "nuit"
