Gioia Plant based restaurant extraordinary meals will make you feel happy and inspired with its carefully composed delicious dishes made with love in its beautiful surroundings. Vegan or not this place is a must visit. Gioia serves lunch, dinner, sweets, fresh juices and smoothies. Chatting with with Carlo, the chef and artist behind Gioia, I learned about his passion for plant based, freshly made food. Carlo's love for food and his commitment goes into every dish he serves. My all time favourite are their bean burgers with cashew nut mayo and sundried tomato ketchup, and my new obsession banana cacao smoothie.
