Imaginative and Delicious Gourmet Vegan Food at a Reasonable Price…read more My spouse and I now have a favorite new vegan restaurant and we wish, with all our hearts, that we could transport it to where we live. We found this gem in Turin (Torino) Italy. The name makes it sound like a place where you would get sprouts only and the like-- "Soul Kitchen." However, what we encountered was an amazing gourmet vegan restaurant. The food was so imaginative and beautiful, we were amazed. We ate three times there in two days--lunch and two dinners. Among the many dishes that are reinvented Italian fare, they do fantastic dishes with seitan and you feel as if you have entered seitan heaven. We recommend The Napoleon, for the creativity of its preparation with the slight flavor of blood oranges is beyond compare. They also have the most terrific complete onion filled with pasta (which tastes a little like risotto). The restaurant itself has a comfortable atmosphere and you can go casual or dressed up. We did not expect something so unique and satisfying. We "travel for vegan food" and have eaten in many many vegan places in Europe, Canada, Turkey, Brazil and The United States, and this is definitely in the top three if not, the top one. In addition, our server Ricardo was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful that he made the whole experience even more delightful. You must try this place if you love food or if you are vegan or if you want a joyful eating experience. It is not to be missed.

Get here early as, our name was placed on the waiting list at 1:30, we were seated at 2:30. It is a super popular dining location with the local crowd. They offer a fixed price three course meal for lunch and dinner. The pricing has 3 tiers for lunch 10, 15 and 20 €. All three levels offer three options for main course vegetarian, fish, or a meat. The menu changes daily given what fresh produce is sourced that day. Todays 1st course, Broccali cream puree with crostini and freshly grated parmigiano. 2nd course, (15€ meat option) Seared pork medallions, with 1/2 ball of fresh mozzarella over bed of asparagus. 3rd course, fresh fruit bowl (or chocolate cake over vanilla cream). Note: No extra (Coperto) charge for, Table bread, choice of red or white wine, sparkling and still waters, and espresso. Our group has been in Milan for 4 days, this meal was the best meal so far, absolutely delicious meal!!! The staff are all young, hip and energetic. We all felt if we were staying in Torino we would dine here again and again! The only catch to having such exellent food is everyone else recognizes the value, be prepared for a wait....

This restaurant is so good that we went for dinner and returned the next day for lunch…read more We are English-speaking and unfortunately do not speak much Italian. This is not a tourist restaurant. The staff was gracious and helped us through our meal. Everything is made in-house and there is no set menu. The menu is set by the freshest ingredients possible. Each person chooses a "line" for 2-3 courses, depending on what you would like to spend. For dinner, I chose the vegetarian line and had a roasted portobello mushroom with fontina and cherries. The flavors were fantastic and unexpected. For my second course, I had roasted vegetable ravioli. Also excellent. My husband had a sea bass ceviche with house-made ricotta (best dish of the entire meal) and a poached fish dish with spinach. The total, including two glasses of wine and sparkling water, was 42 euros. Lunch was a whole different affair. We stood in line for the 12:30 opening and were treated to a multi-course meal. They had either a seafood or a meat line, and we both had the seafood. They also had a caprese salad on offer. Don't make our mistake, unless you want a lot of food--choose either the fish/meat or the salad. Both are more than enough on their own. The amuse-bouche was a piece of asiago with blueberry sauce and sea kelp. The main was pasta (I forget what type, house-made, similar to rigatoni) with a pomodoro seafood ragu. Incredible. Lunch includes dessert (custard with fig preserves), house-made foccacia and breads, homemade fruit juice, and espresso. All for 10 euros per person! Both meals were fantastic. You must go in with the mindset that you will eat wonderful, unexpected flavors. This is a great place for people who want great food, a great experience, and again, no menu. If you like an adventure (especially if you do not speak Italian), go here.

I ordered chicken and rice + veggies, and received lamb and rice + veggies. Was still tasty despite the mix-up, but the portion seemed small for 14 euro. Wife got the veggie soup, but didn't really enjoy it enough to eat it (to be fair, this was right before a nasty stomach bug took her down). I had a taste and thought the soup was good, if not a little oily. Left it there uneaten but were still charged full price. The owner was really nice (once we decided to order wine in addition to our two entrees), but sadly I can't recommend unless you're desperate for vegan food and have euro to burn.

Despite its Michelin star and vegetarian focus, both the food and service fell well below expectations. From the start, we felt pressured to purchase expensive wine before even settling in. The restaurant offers separate vegetarian and vegan tasting menus, but when I wanted vegetarian and my wife vegan, we were firmly told this wasn't allowed. A senior staff member even came over to explain--quite patronizingly--that we 'didn't know our food' and had to choose one menu for both of us. Most dishes were mediocre at best, making the Michelin recognition hard to understand. Even basic details like torn table napkins reflected a lack of care. Overall, this was not the special experience we hoped for, and I would not recommend Joia.

Perhaps it was just the kind of food and other people would like it. We had the vegetable salad, which was apparently grilled vegetables in a mayonnaise base. It reminded me of egg salad. We had the mushroom risotto, which was actually pretty good, but I had it a few nights earlier, at another restaurant where I thought it was exceptional. Finally, we had the braised beef in a Barolo wine sauce. Sorry, not good at all. We had the cheese tray, which was delightful. We had the best bottle of wine I've ever had. The service was fabulous. Our server was so kind and had everything split for us. I really wanted to like the food and maybe it was just a bad night. I thought the ambience in the front of the restaurant was more Italian authentic. The back was a little more eclectic but still nice. My favorite part was a bottle of wine that our server recommended and the complementary appetizer they gave us. The cheese selection was great. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back and try them again because I think they just had a bad night.
