Consistently one of the best restaurants in Montclair. All courses have innovative offerings with market fresh ingredients. Appetizers, pastas, entrees and desserts. This evening we had excellent scallop crudo with aguachile, steamed clams in beer with horseradish and baby leeks, cavatelli with a sun-dried tomato and almond pesto, a corn and ricotta pasta and grilled scallops. Dessert was a delicious toasted and moist pistachio bread pudding with homemade gelato. The food is always...read full review

Gioia Mia, under new management and ownership since a year ago, offers an exceptional dining experience. This BYOB restaurant serves outstanding dishes, starting with homemade focaccia, and features unique pairings such as chicken liver mousse with strawberry rhubarb. The menu boasts flavorful options like scallop tiradito, agnolotti, malfadine, and cavatelli, all expertly prepared. The pan-seared scallops and hanger steak are particularly notable, with the steak cooked to perfection and coated in au poivre. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is attentive, making it a popular spot for a memorable meal. Guests often praise the excellent bread and the overall ambiance. However, some find the prices steep and the portions small, often needing to order multiple dishes to feel satisfied. Despite this, the food remains spectacular, and many visitors plan to return to enjoy the great atmosphere and decent food.
