They needed a little extra help this night as I think there was only one server. There was also a private party in the back. Wine selections are mostly organic (if not all). Reasonable prices too. We ordered a bread plate, cheese plate, seitan steak, and pizza (not shown). When we sat down, we were told there was no vegan mozzarella. This changed a few dishes for sure. The pizza would have been much better with it, but was still very good. The cheese platter and seitan steak were stand outs for us. The vegan cheeses made by the owner would make any omnivore go vegan. In fact, we came back the next day to purchase cheese and dessert to go. Soooo worth it. I wish they shipped to the US. Had we stayed longer, we would have eaten here every other day. We will definitely be back. This is the best vegan Italian restaurant in Milan!

Good service and great environment. Recommended.

I sought out this mostly plant based restaurant before visiting Milan. Made reservations tonight…read moreand so happy I did. Service was friendly and as usual most Italians speak English and were happy to converse in our language. I need to learn Italian! The wine list is excellent. I tried an Italian Gewürztraminer which was exceptional. Also tried an Italian Sauvignon Blanc equally unique. They have some omni dishes I think with fish, but I only looked at the clearly marked vegan options which were plentiful. From first courses to dessert, everything was hot and well made. The interior is cozy and beautifully designed. You can come from work or dress casual. Come as you are. I'll be back to eat and drink at this gem.

Their Oreo torte was built with a standard chocolate cake base, then topped with a tall layer of lightly sweetened whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. It was yummy - however, the real star of the show was their tiramisu! I just knew I was in for something good when I sank my fork into the slice for that amazing first bite. It was a fantastic vegan variant of the classic, the softest, most pillowy slice of heaven featuring moist sponge cake encased in a lovely fluffy whipped cream. Yum! Both desserts were generously sized but not too sweet nor too heavy. It seems like they rotate desserts throughout different days at both locations, and they do tend to run out of tiramisu earlier in the evening. I definitely recommend this place!

Food is by weight but reheated, so it's not ultra fresh, but has about 1000 times more fiber than the average Italian meal.

I dined alone and don't speak Italian, but the staff went above and beyond at every step. From explaining the dishes, to the wine pairings, to the number of staff perfecting every detail (at one point, I counted 8 staff members in a room of about 10 tables). When the bread came (with the course of vegetables in a circle in a jelly like sauce) I asked if I was supposed to eat the dish with the bread and the waiter said "you're in Italy, you eat bread when your heart tells you". I loved how unpretentious and sincere the comment was, especially when it is easy to feel overwhelmed by fine dining. The food was so delicious that my eyes watered on a couple of bites. Highlights were the amuse bouche (the dish with the sprouts growing) and the baba ganoush wrapped in dehydrated tomato (the dish with the slices of tomato), and the housemade red bean tempeh (far left in the picture with bread). The only lowlight was the mushroom (far right in the picture with bread). It's been several decades since I've eaten meat, but it had a really weird mouth feel similar to what I remember a glob of grisly animal fat to feel like.

Despite its Michelin star and vegetarian focus, both the food and service fell well below expectations. From the start, we felt pressured to purchase expensive wine before even settling in. The restaurant offers separate vegetarian and vegan tasting menus, but when I wanted vegetarian and my wife vegan, we were firmly told this wasn't allowed. A senior staff member even came over to explain--quite patronizingly--that we 'didn't know our food' and had to choose one menu for both of us. Most dishes were mediocre at best, making the Michelin recognition hard to understand. Even basic details like torn table napkins reflected a lack of care. Overall, this was not the special experience we hoped for, and I would not recommend Joia.
