Another incredible meal at this wonderful little restaurant. We love Florence and all of its history, architecture and culture. We now have one more reason to love Florence. The feeling you get when coming to this establishment is warm and welcoming. All of the seafood is so fresh and it is always prepared with love. It shows in the presentation and most importantly in the delight that if offers our palates. Thank you Chef Stevie and thank you Aldo for so many delightful evenings.

Just incredible! Every time we visit this wonderful little restaurant, we try something different, and we are never disappointed. Last evening, we were just wowed! For a starter, the chef made a smoked octopus served in the most delicious spicy red sauce. I thought I was in Sicily or maybe Sardinia as the combination was absolute perfection and I have only had this type of delightfulness previously in the Southern Mediterranean. We can't wait to go back again this coming week. Our only regret is that we didn't find this little gem earlier in our visit to Florence. We arrived on June 1 and our first visit to this restaurant wasn't until July 4th but the good news is; we are here for two more weeks. :)

For a starter, the tuna tartar was absolutely so fresh and delicious. Then we ordered the grilled octopus with potatoes and that was equally amazing and delicious.. My granddaughter and I then split a beautiful platter of paella for an entree and we both agreed that it was the best we ever had. So fresh that you could taste the sea. What a fantastic meal! If you are lucky enough to have Aldo for your server, you are certain to have the perfect evening out to dinner.

Buonissima paella !!! Good service. Place is very small with a few tables outside. God’s quality seafood but Paella is superb. The best outside of Spain!!

The food was phenomenal! We had the frittura di pesce and the pasta alle scogliere as well as the antipasto of peppata di cozze. Everything was so fresh and delicious. It was an amazing surprise. Casual ambiance. Super service. I would highly recommend it. We kept ordering dishes because we saw what others were eating and how satisfied they were.

Gioia Bistrot is a great discovery! The sidewalk dining area makes it COVID-safe, the service was excellent, the prices very reasonable, and every dish we ordered was delicious! Try the sautéed clams and muscles as a starter! Thanks for a really lovely evening, we'll return for sure!
