Gioja Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Bali

I went there with my wife follow the direction at google and get lost to find this restaurant was recomeded by my friends who has been there. We wait at the corner and cheff Danielle sent his staff to Pik up us with umbrella because it was raining at that night. Walking at ubud village road about 100 meters finally we found this beautifull restaurant like in the jungle with rice fields arround. Cheff Daniellle wellcome us when arrived and we got our menus to choose. Food was very artistic , good designed and very tasty. Chef gave us free welcome starter was very good taste and completely we never find like this before. We have tried some fancy italian restaurant at seminyak , kuta . But this small restaurant at ubud jungle more tasty than that. Staff are very welcome and friendly , especially cheff explained every food we order . We are very satisfied with this restaurant services , staffs and cheff. Ah i forget also the owner wellcome us and explain the restaurant and the foods at this restaurant. This is very good venue for hidden fine dinning with your best one, I strongly recomended for...

My wife and I came here for our last night in Ubud - I’ll be honest, we were originally looking for a pizza/pasta restaurant but one in central was fully booked. We decided we would try Gioja, knowing it would be more expensive but hopefully delicious and worth it…it was. We are SO glad we got to experience this place :) yes, you’re going to pay more, but it truly is a dining experience. I just read a couple of 1* reviews who come here and say it’s over priced or the portions small (clearly not foodies or looking for the wrong vibe), it’s priced entirely fairly and the portions are measured perfectly - the service was faultless, the food was beautifully presented, a taste sensation. We honestly think it’s the best pasta we’ve had and we both enjoy Italian food/eat it regularly. There’s Italian food, but the Italian dining at Gioja reaches new levels - go here if you want...

A hidden epicurean gem in Ubud

Located in Penestanan, Gioja sits by the beautiful paddy fields. Scooter ride is an excellent choice of transportation to get there.

Gioja is an Italian word for joy or delight. It was a heavenly dining experience over a 4 course Italian menu. Chef Daniele recommendation of steak tartar wagyu, 24 layer lasagna (a delicious vegan dish) or ravioli, charcoal black cod and summer coming was a perfect feast.

The restaurant atmosphere is cozy and romantic. The staff are friendly and attentive. The acoustic performance exceptionally suits for the occasion.

They have a superb wine selection to compliment your dining experience. The A la carte menu option is also available.

Thank you Chef Daniele Taddeo and Gioja team for the amazing culinary journey. See...
