Since my wife is a vegetarian, the Joia Restaurant immediately caught my eye when we were planning our trip to Milan. We had a wonderful evening there, enjoying a seven-course meal. The staff was very friendly and provided expert, detailed descriptions of each course, as well as the ingredients and preparation methods. The wine pairing was also excellent; we enjoyed the ambiance. The room is well soundproofed, so you can converse comfortably without being disturbed by conversations at the neighboring table. All in all, a very lovely evening. Thank you very much; we’re happy to recommend Joia and will certainly be back.
Such a great experience. Each dish served tells a story and takes you on a unique journey. The chef truly seems to have fun with his creations. The asparagus and manga board are just wow. The deserts are phenomenal as well. If you’re looking for vegetarian definitely an experience not to miss.
Extremely nice establishment in many aspects. Aesthetically perfect - spacious but intimate. Great service and attention to detail - no delays or issues. The food was wonderful and the wine was great. The experience is definitely worth it for a special day. The winter tasting menu is my recommendation. I also love the idea of a vegetarian Micheline restaurant. The owner was friendly and explained to us the history of the restaurant which made it a unique experience.
We were excited to try our first Michelin vegetarian restaurant. As the chef was doing everything to satisfy us, unfortunately the staff is missing training. We have been served wine in front of the face (glass on the right, waiter serving from the left, across the plate, I had to move to accommodate the bottle), dropping wine drops on the tablecloth. Dishes were served by pushing with the serving pot to make space. But the real bad experience was the sommelier (the one with curly black hair). Asked for recommendation answered “you can drink red. Or white. Or sparkling “ and left, leaving us for 35 min with the wine card and zero drinks or food (we politely finished water and were waiting in silence). As the dishes are spectacular, it is sad that one or two people drag the experience down. Changing the staff for more knowledgeable would surely improve overall impression.
One of the best meals I've ever eaten. Service was top notch. A complete experience. Highly recommend.
