Atmosfera piacevole, tutto curato con semplicità e gusto. Ma la vera differenza la fanno le persone: lo staff è stato adorabile, sempre presente senza essere invadente. Un grazie speciale a Lorenzo, che con la sua gentilezza autentica ha reso la nostra permanenza davvero speciale. Si percepisce quando qualcuno fa il proprio lavoro con il cuore.

Siamo stati a cena ieri sera con amici. Eravamo in tre e abbiamo ordinato antipasti di carne e pesce crudo: tutto freschissimo e davvero molto buono. Come secondi abbiamo scelto il branzino e la tagliata, entrambi di ottima qualità e cucinati alla perfezione. Nel complesso è stato tutto eccellente. Servizio attento, professionale e sempre disponibile. Ristorante assolutamente consigliato!

Esperienza davvero eccellente! Il ristorante si distingue per l’ottima qualità del cibo: piatti curati, ingredienti freschi e sapori autentici che si percepiscono ad ogni portata. Il servizio è altrettanto impeccabile, con personale gentile, attento e sempre disponibile a soddisfare ogni richiesta. L’atmosfera è accogliente e rende il pasto ancora più piacevole. Un luogo in cui tornare sicuramente e che consiglio vivamente a chi cerca qualità e professionalità.” Un ringraziamento speciale al nostro cameriere Denis che si e preso cura di noi e ai due barman Sonny e Micheal.

Accoglienza calorosa e molto cordiale. Andrea si è preso cura di noi per tutta la serata. È stato attento, gentile e sempre sorridente. Si vedeva che provava piacere nel servirci, il che ha reso la nostra serata ancora più speciale. Anche il pasto era eccellente e il locale magnifico.

Absolutely the best steak I’ve ever had! Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and clearly made with great attention to detail. On top of that, the service was outstanding – the waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Truly a memorable dinner. Highly recommended!

Very upscale and classy restaurant, that requires a dress code, nothing crazy, but no sports attire. The place has high end cuisine with an emphasis on truffles. They even have additional special menue where all dishes have truffles added. The food was amazing, everything and I mean everything was taste incredible. Mashed potatoes and rigatoni with truffles we had ordered twice. Despite being a truffle place, I still like their porcini risotto better than the one with white truffles. The only things I wouldn't recommend in this place are seared Tuna (had too fishy flavor to my taste) and filet Mignon (was a bit dry). But what you really can't skip is their home made sorbet that they will make in front of you, don't forget to remind them to add vodka to it. Reservation is a must.

The food is unquestionably delicious, with an honest menu that truly matches both description and plating. The atmosphere is joyous—perfect lighting, music, and crowd. Outstanding front-of-house service, with Andrea our brilliant waiter and Antonetta the hands-on manager ensuring a flawless experience. Cannot recommend enough. Can’t wait to return.

It was my first time in Milan and also my first time at this restaurant, and I chose it to celebrate my 24th birthday dinner (Thanks to Tiktok 🤣) . Honestly, I loved the experience. The atmosphere was amazing: dim lighting, very chic, very luxurious exactly my kind of place. The food was delicious, I genuinely loved everything we tried. The only small downside is that the portions felt a bit small, but the quality and flavors were absolutely there. Very authentic Italian cuisine, just the way we love it. We were warmly welcomed and taken care of all evening by Andrea, who was truly incredible. So kind, attentive, and professional. A huge thank you to him for making my birthday dinner so special and successful. I absolutely do not regret choosing this restaurant for such a special occasion. Big thanks to Andrea and the entire team for their kindness and hospitality — it was such a great night.

We had the most incredible night. The staff were wonderful nothing too much trouble so kind and welcoming. Food was amazing. Every dish was delicious! This really was a highlight of our trip from the UK. Thank you so much. Special thanks to front of house Fiorella (apologies if name incorrect). You are wonderful, can’t thank you enough for all you did to make our night so special. We found the restaurant through social media and honestly would encourage everyone to visit. Beautiful authentic Italian, with the most incredible atmosphere. Xx

Dumitru Sebastian

Everything was outstanding, from the warm welcome, to the service, to the food. This restaurant served the best versions of my two favorite dishes, beef tartare and tiramisu by far the best I’ve ever had. Yeah, you do need a reservation, and yes, it’s a bit pricey, but worth every cent. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back when we return to Milan. Congratulations to the entire team!

Honestly 10/10 across the board. The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff are great and the food is superb, we would 100% come back here again if we were back in Milan. We went for lunch and it is quite expensive, however you get what you pay for. The tiramisu was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a high quality authentic Italian dining experience!

Had a very generous experience here as I booked to a wrong restaurant and they managed to safe me from the cancellation charges. The manager himself went to the other restaurant and spoke to them!! I like such experience to the max! Perfect food and location. Honestly the best steak I have ever had!!! 💯 Highly recommended!

The dishes are rich, deeply flavourful, and exciting to explore. I recommend sharing, not only because the portions work well that way, but also because the flavours can be quite intense. It is worth choosing a mix of plates that balance the palate. I actually wished we had ordered something lighter like a salad or a carpaccio to contrast the richness. The caviar shallots were a luxurious highlight, and the cacio e pepe was creamy and wonderfully peppery. It is served from a giant wheel of cheese, which adds a bit of spectacle to the experience. The pricing reflects that this is very much a special occasion meal. The atmosphere is intimate and sophisticated. The dining room is small and cozy, yet the setting still feels elegant and high-end. It hints at Italian tradition without ever slipping into rustic territory. It is a fantastic choice for visitors who want a refined Italian dining experience that still feels warm and inviting. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and thoughtful, especially when it came to accommodating my allergies. She offered ingredient adjustments and even arranged for certain components to be plated separately so my partner could still enjoy the full dish. That level of care truly enhanced the evening. As a devoted tiramisù fan, I have to say the mascarpone was unbelievably airy and soft, unlike any texture I’ve had before. I would have liked the biscuits to be soaked with a bit more coffee to bring out that classic boldness, but overall it was still a delight. One thing to be aware of is that photography is not allowed in the restaurant. I discreetly captured a couple of quick photos of our plates but then put my phone away, which encouraged me to just enjoy the moment.

Classy dinner vibes in Milano! Food is amazing.. highly recommend their beef fillet steak, Risotto Milanese and rigatoni served with a generous topping of black truffles. Atmosphere is chic and nice! The staff are professional and friendly! Reserve days in advance because this is the dinner place to be!! Will be back soon!!

I totally loved this place. Let’s start with the friendly staff, very welcoming and professional. Then the food was amazing ! It was white truffle season so the waiter’s suggestion was amazing. The service is impeccable. We will definitely go back and it’s a Milanese address I’d keep.

Emily Calloway

Had the most amazing experience dining here for my birthday. The service was excellent but subtle, some of the best italian food i’ve ever had, with everything tasting extremely fresh. Would visit any time I get to come back to Milan. If you’re debating booking here, book now!!!!!

Walter Wang

Absolutely amazing place in the heart of San Marco, which is a lively strip filled with young people and great energy after work. The restaurant had a great selection of appetizers and entree. Drinks were phenomenal as well. Highly recommend to order the veal cutlet and pastas to share. La Gioia the drink was delicious. We went back later that night for a nightcap and our waiter welcomed us into the restaurant for a tour. The bar was magnificent. Highly recommended.

Everything in this restaurant is absolutely top-notch – the quality of the ingredients, the service, the taste. The restaurant is expensive, but worth every penny. The atmosphere inside is very warm, and we felt truly taken care of. Our waiter gave us excellent recommendations. We had a view of the kitchen, where the dishes were prepared with the utmost care. It was my birthday dinner, and the staff wrote me a birthday message on the dessert and sang “Happy Birthday.” Everyone was extremely kind and professional. The food – 10/10. I don’t know what more I could possibly add.

I was truly impressed by the outstanding service at La Gioia. The staff is attentive, warm, and always available, anticipating every need without ever being intrusive. Every detail is handled with professionalism, making you feel genuinely valued as a guest. An experience that makes dining here even more enjoyable and memorable. Congratulations to the entire team!

Attratti dalle buone recensioni, abbiamo provato questo ristorante in centro a Milano per una cena di auguri natalizi con amici. Il locale è molto bello, dall’aspetto moderno. Il personale è gentile e amichevole, forse fin troppo. I piatti provati erano buoni, anche se a mio parere con qualche pecca: ad esempio il carpaccio di wagyu era ottimo, ma il sapore risultava un po’ coperto dalla salsa. I dolci, preparati al momento, erano molto buoni, così come la carta dei vini. Prezzo secondo me leggermente alto rispetto a quanto tofferto.

Bel locale nel centro della movida milanese. Location elegante, con possibilità di mangiare anche all'estero del locale in una sorta di tensostruttura coperta e riscaldata, ma nulla a che vedere con la bellezza del locale intero, noi abbiamo cenato all'interno. Abbiamo preso il carpaccio di wagyu non proprio eccezionale, sopra a quella fantastica carne c'era una salina che rovinava un po' il piatto, abbiamo preso anche del pata negra e sinceramente ne ho mangiati di migliori altrove, mentre come primi si è optato per la cacio e pepe con tartufo e devo dire che stata veramente ottima. Dolci preparati al momento molto buoni. Discreta carta dei vini. Insomma la valutazione nel complesso è buona ma non buonissima, mi aspettavo qualcosa in più perché comunque i prezzi sono medio alti, capisco benissimo che siamo a Milano e si usano prodotti di qualità, ecco perché mi aspettavo quel clic in più. Forse un ristorante per turisti o influencer, non lo so, comunque lo consiglio, bisogna sempre provare e poi trarre le proprie conclusioni.

Il locale è davvero molto bello, con un’atmosfera elegante e curata. Tuttavia, l’ambiente è estremamente caotico: le sale sono affollate, c’è molta confusione e gli spazi tra i tavoli sono davvero ridotti. Noi eravamo in tre ma siamo stati accomodati a un tavolo da due, risultando piuttosto scomodi. Inoltre, nonostante avessimo prenotato, abbiamo dovuto aspettare mezz’ora prima di essere seduti. Sul cibo nulla da dire: tutto ottimo. Abbiamo iniziato con il carpaccio di carne, la burrata con pappa e il pata negra, tutti piatti di qualità e ben presentati. Come portate principali, la cotoletta e il filetto erano davvero squisiti, cotti alla perfezione e saporiti. Il vero punto dolente è il rapporto qualità-prezzo. Se da un lato il cibo è eccellente, dall’altro il servizio e l’organizzazione non sono all’altezza del prezzo piuttosto elevato. In definitiva, un bel posto dove si mangia molto bene, ma con un’esperienza complessiva che non giustifica il costo.

Atmosfera affascinate e romantica. Servizio premuroso e attento che ha anche particolare attenzione nella preparazione dei piatti. Piatti molto buoni. Unico downside è il prezzo che per alcuni piatti è decisamente oltre la qualità offerta. La cacio e pepe tradizionali che ho trovato buona e cremosa, se pur con lo show della forma di parmigiano, non ho percepito essere di una qualità tale da giustificare i 28 euro. Non consiglierei l'aggiunta di tartufo a 13 euro aggiuntivi. Non si sentiva il profumo del tartufo tipico di un tartufo nero appena grattato. In generale molto bello, ma prezzi un po' troppo alti per l'offerta.

Location molto bella e curata, con un buon numero di coperti e mise-en-place impeccabile. Menù interessante. Ho provato la famosa cacio e pepe, per due persone, impiattata al tavolo da una forma di formaggio. Buona, molto buona, ma porzione abbastanza limitata. Ho provato poi pure il tiramisù con cioccolata: buono, ma era praticamente tutto mascarpone. Il biscotto era troppo poca, mancava una nota croccante al dessert. Servizio buono, soprattutto perché personale di sala è super gentile e attento al cliente. Avrei però preferito che tra primo e dolce lasciassero sul tavolo il cestino del pane, che non era vuoto. La qualità c'è, ma i prezzi sono troppo troppo alti. La cacio e pepe era buona, ma 33€ a testa è decisamente troppo.

Great evening dinner at La Gioia. It is a bit pricey and the pasta cacio e Pepe more a marketing thing than anything else but still very tasty. It is a shame that some dishes or desserts require to be 2. The service is impeccable. Very nice atmosphere.

Really delicious pasta but unfortunately the service was almost terrible. We were too hot so we asked them to turn off the heater and the table beside was too hot as well, but since the waiter was too cold he didn’t want to turn it off and insisted that it stays on. Would come back if the service was better, and we felt kind of rushed and forced to leave a tip.

Emi Ymerai

The food was tasty, but overrated and overpriced compared to other places. The staff were friendly and service was great. The interior (inside) looked great, but it was quite busy when we visited, so we had to sit outside. The tables there were small and very close to other customers, offering little to no privacy..

overpriced for food quality but good service and atmosphere. You can get the same experience and food in other restaurants with half of the price!

Locale turistico, non per italiani che sanno mangiar bene. Nei “fusilli agli scampi” era presente un solo scampo per il resto era una pasta al sugo con panna, pessima e tra l’altro consigliata da loro. Prezzi esagerati ma se il cibo fosse stato all’altezza non avrei nulla da dire perché comunque si è in centro Milano. Non ci tornerò, è una trappola per fessi.

George Lim

The food was good, but not outstanding. The service team was generally attentive and professional—most of the waiters did a great job. However, one staff member’s behavior fell short, which impacted the overall experience. Additionally, the man in the brown suit—who I assume is the manager—was extremely rude. His attitude came off as arrogant, and he appeared to treat Asian guests with noticeable bias. That kind of behavior leaves a very negative impression and is unacceptable in any hospitality setting.
