Ristorante Pizzeria Gioia 53 — Restaurant in Milan

We were here in August 2022 with the whole family. Many restaurants were closed but this family run restaurant was open. It has a warm and bright Charme to it and served very fresh food so we went here twice. My parents love seafood so we order the mussels marinara, grilled shrimps, fried calamari and grilled fish- everything was fresh and on point cooked , grilled and seasoned. The fish and mussels were soft and full of umami. The pizza baker even gifted us some very fresh focaccia so we could dip it and wipe away the finger licking good marinara sauce. The shrimps and calamari has the best chewy consistency which we Asians love and it remind me of the mediterran cuisine of Sicily. My mom has the pizza Tonno with onions and my brothers pizza salsicia on the first and gnocchi on the second night. The quattroformagi sauce was creamy and has the most Milky depth which melted like butter in your mouth. It was very tasty and pizza came especially fast. I love pasta with seafood and both the pasta seafood with zucchini and the one with mushrooms tasted delicious. The owner was also very conscious about my allergies. So I could switch shrimps with clam. I can highly recommend Ristorante pizzeria Goia and would visit it again for the next...

We got there for a late lunch, the waitress was super nice and took her time with us and recommended a few items. I ended up getting diavola e Zola which was a slightly spicy pizza. My friend asked for something Italian and was recommended tagliata which ended up being a plate of meat (beef and no sides). We also saw the table next to us having a huge plate of saffron rice as appetizer and we got jealous. For drinks we got their large draft beer and wine. The pizza was good and only 6.50 euros! The tagliata was Ok but it would have been better if it came with a side for that price. Also presentation wasn't great. Loved the saffron rice. Good price, quality, quantity ratio overall.

The only think we didn't like was the wine (though it was like 2.50 euros for 250ml so we didn't feel bad...

An unplanned stay in Milan for the night turned out to be a very pleasurable experience. The pizza at Gioia 53 is cooked by wood fire which everyone knows is the best. It's a very economical family run restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. My husband and daughter had a pizza The pizza were very big with good quality ingredients. I had a salad with toasted crab and prawns. The menu was very varied and if I were staying longer I would of gone back to try the different fish dishes. The restaurant was very clean...
