Joia Ristorante - Aurora

Evening started off well. Arrived for our work Christmas Party. Seated quickly. Server came around to ask our drink fast and that’s where things went south. Almost 40 mins later before anyone came back to our table. Food arrived and was nothing special. Infact. Very disappointing. Bland. No flavour. Service was nonexistant and not well priced. The creme brûlée was TINY, cold inside and priced at $10. Not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

The place looks great, but the food is average quality and the service is really poor , the server was only trying to clean the table and be done ASP !This is not a place to sit and chat and eat , they expect you to eat quickly and leave .

Don't waist your money! Don't go there. The food is terrible. It was a few of us and nobody was happy with the orders. What a shame...It's not a bad looking place, but they should have a chef or at least a cook that can follow a recipe. All of us sent at least half of the food back. Bad, bad, bad...

The pizza is either undercooked or overcooked and burnt, toppings sparse and uneven and often forgotten. The people who work there are incredibly dismissive and seemingly glum and moody.It was once a very humble and elegant restaurant with graciousness. Now there's not much going on, like the waiters and chef can't wait to leave their shift.Bummer.

If I could give them a zero I most definitely would ?The rushed service is disgusting.The pizza was so undercooked, and when you tell the waiter that, they get mad at the customer like it's our fault we want to eat cooked food!?The kids pasta with plain sauce was literally as bad as coming out of a can... no salt on the under cooked pasta, and no salt on the sauce.My meal was the penne chardonnay, more like penne with pasta water and milk. There was no flavor of wine, just tasted like milky pasta with 5 leaves of spinach.What a waste of $100!! Complete waste of money.Unfortunately we didn't read the reviews, neither do the owners it seems like becuase this place is due for a changeover or owner acknowledgement that there is a serious problem.
