Gioia = “Joy”
Joy – noun. A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
Over the years, we have managed to put a smile on the faces of people from far and wide by creating a space just for them – almost as if we’ve known just what they’re looking for.

From a Bistro-style Mediterranean cuisine to an up-market Italian restaurant and a trendy meeting place for social gatherings – what has been constant is family. The families that come and go and the bonds that our staff create with our clients are a significant part of our business.

We are now pleased to invite you to Gioia.

Located just above the Zoo Lake Sports Club in Parkwood, Gioia is a space that offers the peace and tranquillity for a family lunch, the safety and excitement for children to play and the stillness and sophistication for business meetings or remote work – all with friendly staff and really, really great food.

    Great spot for families with small kids. Food is always good. They just need to spend a bit of money on maintenance, keeping toilets clean with paper hand towels always available etc

    Great place for children and the family. The food was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless not a bad place to keep the children busy. If they could work on the food and service this place would be amazing!

    Accommodated my request to bring my own birthday cake with a knife and plates provided. Great service by Caroline and team, and friendly child-minders at the ready.

    I had my daughter’s 4th birthday party at Gioia and it was amazing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food got lots of compliments and most importantly the kids had a great time.
