What Diana Zhu doesn't like about Bella Gioia:
What a disappointment. We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The Italian food we had at this restaurant was some of the worst I've ever had in New York City. My chicken was rubbery and completely inedible, and the sauces were bland and tasteless. View all feedback. What Sherry D likes about Bella Gioia:
First, their meat and cheese board is a favorite whenever we have friends over or are in need of some comforting food. The gorgonzola and prosciutto are personal highlights for me. Additionally, their gnocchi dish called Rustica is a standout. Served piping hot on a pan, the gnocchi is a perfect blend of potatoes, tomatoes, and cheese.

Delicious food and generous portions. Attentive and friendly staff.

Bella Gioia offers a mixed bag of experiences, with some patrons praising the delicious food, attentive service, and cozy ambiance, while others were left disappointed by subpar dishes and unpleasant encounters with the staff. The restaurant's Italian cuisine seems to have its highs and lows, with some diners raving about dishes like the oxtail ragu Parpadelle and veal piccata, while others found their meals to be lackluster. Despite some mixed reviews, the restaurant's charming setting, warm service, and scenic views seem to have left a positive impression on many diners. Whether you're looking for a romantic date spot or a cozy breakfast spot with a view, Bella Gioia may have something to offer, but be prepared for potentially inconsistent experiences.
