And above all, it was such nice service--a man and a woman who were so kind and made sure we got a great dinner. We are so glad we stayed!

I would give them four stars but unusual to Italian tradition, they rushed us out and I noticed they did not do this to others. Our money and patronage is just as good. Also, we were served all courses all at once. And it was not crowded and it was not close to closing time. The server also snuffed at us when we first sat down at a table for four - the place was not crowded by the way. So he forced us to sit at a table for two which is fine had he served our courses in traditional order and fashion. But he did not. Be basically shoved four plates on our table - bread, salad, pasta course one, another dish course two oh and our wine bowls. All on a tiny table for two. And he was unapologetic about it. That was absolutely ridiculous. Again the only reason I do not give this less stars is because the food was worth it but it's no excuse to be rude and treat customers in this way.

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.

We came around 7:15 and were able to get seated right away. I suppose that's early-ish for dinner in Italy. The menu is via QR code on the table and available in various languages. We each got a bowl of pasta: Lumberjack (which is a provolone cheese sauce with mushrooms), the Carbofunghi (which is like carbonara plus mushrooms, and good ol' ragu, which the kids have been enjoying. The pastas were all very delicious. I love that every pasta dish I've had here is consistently cooked perfectly al dente. We also got a slice of tiramisu but was too full so go it for takeout .

Dairy and vegan dishes are listed as such as well. The atmosphere is very inviting. There is a main area in the front for parties and a more intimate area in the back for small groups or couples. We had the made in house pasta, one gluten free, one not. Having tried both it was virtually indistinguishable between the texture of the dishes (the gluten dish had a bit more al-dente to it, but not noticeably so.) Plan on getting 1+ plates if you're coming in with an appetite. While the portions are good, the savory nature of the dishes balances with a lightness that makes it OK to eat more. Beyond the pasta dishes we split a pizza, "4 seasons" gluten free, and they make the dough in-house as opposed to those pre-frozen dishes that are so common. We capped it off with a limonchello and will likely seek this out again should we ever venture back to Milan. Saluti!
