About Gioia

Gioia – meaning ‘joy’ in Italian – brings the vision of a fun and delicious Italian restaurant, market, gelateria, and rooftop space to life. Founded by beloved New Haven restaurateurs Tim Cabral and Avi Szapiro. Gioia features a seasonally inspired menu of delicious interpretations of Italian classics. Using a wood-fired grill and rotisserie, the menu includes homemade pastas and pizzas, house-made gelato, and vegetarian/vegan offerings, coupled with a robust beverage program with a nod to Italy. Contributing to the DNA of “Little Italy” the market serves the neighborhood and beyond with convenient access to produce, cured meats, cheeses, Italian provisions, homemade pasta and grab-and-go meals. The gelateria window invites residents and diners to enjoy house-made gelato and slices of the unique “Wooster Squares” pizza. The rooftop, which is covered and fully-heated and enclosed to offer year-round dining, extends the fun and energetic atmosphere of the restaurant, offering a unique and seasonal food and beverage menu, as well as seasonal activations. Located at 150 Wooster Street, Gioia has received accolades from Food & Wine, Yankee Magazine, and Hearst, among others, and was recognized as the Best Restaurant Newcomer by the 2024 Connecticut Restaurant Association Awards, and Best Restaurant in New Haven County for 2025.  For more information, visit gioianewhaven.com, or the restaurant’s Facebook and Instagram channels (@gioianhv).
