Joia is a cozy restaurant tucked away in Aurora.
Joia has a daily menu in addition to the regular menu which can be viewed online. We were served bread with oil/vinegar after we ordered.
For our appetizer, we ordered escargots with portobello, onion and garlic in a merlot sauce on crostini. It was SO delicious, definitely my favourite part of the dinner.
Our mains were veal marsala and risotto, both were amazing. The veal marsala was quite a thin sliced portion but very filling as it was served with truffle mash and grilled veggies. The risotto was also great, mixed with green peas, red onion and mascarpone cream..I just wish for $23, the risotto would be served with some kind of protein.
The service at Joia is one of the best I've ever had at any restaurant, the staff are all very friendly and professional.
