Fine dining all vegetarian/vegan friendly - Edit
All vegetarian/ vegan menu (easily changed to vegan once requested from the restaurant).
Read morePresentation was beautiful, food tasted great, was extra special that the chef came out to check on the guests.
It would be a perfect experience if the chairs had cushion to them as we had taken the Zenith 8 course menu, and sitting on wooden hard chairs for 2 hours was quite painful and distracting from the fine dining experience

Vegan high class cooking - Edit
The food is amazing. Most of the dishes are vegan. If a dish is vegetarian they can serve you a vegan version. Eating here is an experience in the magic of taste.

Il mio preferito in Milano - Edit
Non ho parole per descrivere questa perla. Cibo, vino, atmosfera e servizio semplicemente impeccabile. D'altronde, è stellato. Il cibo è sempre di ottima qualità, ed esprime a pieno la creatività, la gioia e la passione per la cucina vegetale che chef e team mettono in ogni singola preparazione.
Read moreIl cliente è coccolato dall'inizio alla fine. Lo staff decisamente preparato e professionale. Insomma, il mio ristorante preferito in Milano! ♥️
Pros: Cibo favoloso, Amore, passione, creatività, atmosfera, Prezzi calibrati con la qualità offerta

Superbo - Edit
Provato per in occasione speciale: come in tutti i ristoranti stellati, si è super coccolati ma impagabile non dover chiedere di adattare il menu- come mi caspita sempre nei ristoranti stellati- ma avere il “mio” menu a disposizione è super eccellente

Haute cuisine in a elegant atmosphere, has been awarded one Michelin star. They may have tree tipes of menù. I tried Zenith, the most complete, and i love it. A bit expensive but is the best you can find in Italy

Very Special - Edit
This restaurant is one of a kind. We had the Zenith Menu which they made vegan for me (my husband chose the vegetarian option).
Read moreEverything we had was just beautiful to look at and tasted great.
We were so full after those many courses! And so happy!
Even had a little chat with Pietro Leeman. He was really nice.
Pros: Fine dining , Vegan upon request, Wine was extraordinary good as well
Cons: Expensive - But worth it if you are in the area

Excellent! - Edit
Excellent restaurant. The menu is mostly vegan, some things are vegetarian. The food is excellent, as can be expected - the restaurant has a Michelin star. Lunch menu, the square dish, is 25€ for a tasting of five dishes. Friendly staff.
Read moreCons: The not-lunch tasting menu is expensive.

Beautiful experience - Edit
Chapeau, dear Chef Pietro Leemann, for making vegan dishes a piece of art. I LOVED eating here. I had several dishes and every bite made me rejoice. Seriously, it was much more than food, it was a journey, a beautiful experience. The watermelon carpaccio blew my mind, as it tastes like anything but watermelon... delicious. The “privileged relationship” dish was stunning, with porcini mushrooms served from a smoking pot among herbs (you want to take it home!). Scrumptious! And the cheese? Just wow. If you really want to treat yourself go there. Great staff, Pietro Leemann showed up and he’s very, very nice!

The most fantastic Vegan Restaurant all over the World. - Edit
The most fantastic vegan restaurant in the world, awarded with a Michelin star (unique in Italy). Chef Pietro Leemann leads this small, Buddhist restaurant with grace and infinite creativity. His vegan dishes (but also has vegetarian options) are amazing and I guarantee the result. Magnificent wine list. Top!

Excellent but - Edit
Just one complaint, we came without reservation for lunch, more than half the restaurant was with open seats. They still give us a bit of a hard time to get in. Other people came without reservations after us and they were welcomed in to seat without less than 10 seconds. Not sure what happened. Other than the service, it was an excellent experience.
Read morePros: Food is amazing , Ambience , Creativity in the cuisine
Cons: See my note over welcome service

Go if you can afford - Edit
Over the top service. They even took me to the loo till I told them to stop it. Really good food. I mean really good. I'm over you going to places where I could do a better job. Here sadly I'd get nowhere near. Super high end. Plus wine guy was creepy and had bad suit on. Why? And while I'm on it the wine list was Far too long and ridiculous
Read morePros: Great unique options
Cons: Super pricey

No Stars! - Edit
I tried this place twice to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. I was embarrassed for the restaurant. It was like a comedy sketch of pretentious dining.

Pros: The waiters were comical., The food was comical., I can only assume it was all done in irony.
Cons: Food. Wait staff. Decor. Menu. PRICE., Food is described because it's unrecognisable., Being seated out of site because my date’s black.

excellent - Edit
If you expect a place with big portion you can skip joia.
Read moreBut if you are looking for a mouth wa tering experience then it's the right place for you.
We had 1 entree , 2 mains , 1 second and 2 desserts.
Almost everything satisfied our taste .
I give 4 stars cause I found the menu with too much wasabi things and the dessert a bit too poor for such a good place.
I will still recommended to anyone would like to try an unique experience.

The right quality for a special occasion - Edit
Beautiful spaces, nice and qualified people who can really make you understand and taste the effort behind every single plate. Every vegan and vegetarian plate is a taste journey (bonus point for the incredible variety of vegetarian local cheeses available). The price is reasonable considering the concept behind this kind of restaurant. Definitely worth to try at least once.
Read morePros: Mostly vegan menu, Offers vegetarian cheeses

1 Michel Star vegetarian - Edit
This is the first Michelin star vegetarian I have tried.
Read moreThe location is pretty central.
The atmosphere was classy, modern and cool.
Food quality was of course of the highest standard. We had the tasting menu and at the end were totally full.
Service and waitress were competent and helpful.
Excellent selections of wine.
Finally a vegetarian restaurant where you can pair a great plate of food, with an outstanding bottle of Château Cheval Blanc :)
Pros: Highest quality of food and service, wines selections, location
Cons: Chef was focusing to much on foam in our menu

Great place for a romantic dinner - Edit
I recently went there for an anniversary dinner with my gf (we had actually planned to go there for some time, after buying the recipe book by the chef and owner Pietro Leeman), and everything went even better than expected. The place is pricey, but you know that beforehand. We chose the "L’Enfasi della Natura" (The Emphasis of Nature) menu http://www.joia.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/menu-estate-2017-IT.pdf. The experience was definitely worth it, and I actually got up from my chair feeling full. Most dishes are vegan and gluten-free, with the obvious exception of the cheeses and a few desserts.
Read moreThe service was exquisite but also friendly, and the chef himself showed up for a little chat with every customer (which I appreciated a lot, I don't know how many chefs starring in a Michelin guide do that).
Definitely recommended for a romantic tête-à-tête!
Pros: Very friendly and competent staff, Quiet atmosphere
Cons: Pricey (but you know it!)
