La Gioia - Ajaccio

After an early morning flight to ajaccio my wife and I had some time to kill before we could access our accommodation. after an extremely fast walk around the must see the sights of the capital and a mandatory stop at the souvenir shop. we stumbled into this wonderful little restaurant. the menu is extensive without being overwhelming and certainly not breaking the bank. we decided to have a quick lunch of a few pizzas with a common part of chips that came to a modest €39 when accompanied by some softdrinks. the pizzas were well processed and certainly good value for money. the employee who served us was kind and patient with me to put my order in my broken french. ajaccio seemed to have many possibilities when it comes to eating, but they will certainly not go wrong with this place.

Most restaurants no longer serve food at 3pm, but these youngs were really accommodating. (we had no time to eat before lunch and were already faded) that eating was also really good!

Nice lunch with the family, very nice pizza and the otopus salad was beautiful and fresh. the menu is French without English translation and the personal speaks little English, but that is the norm on corsica, the personal was very friendly and helpful. in everything, good food, local feed beer and wine, total bill of 75 €. I would recommend this place to lunch.

What's not to like? The olives were delicious, as was the pizza! Service was great! So glad we stumbled upon this place after visiting the open market. Seriously fabulous pizza!!

Ate lunch here today. We sat at the front of the restaurant on the road side, however would have been preferable to sit in the sunny courtyard. Unfortunately there was only one waitress and it was too much to be waiting on tables in two...areas ! Having had that moan the steak was very tasty and the frites home made. We had the local red wine which was really good. The mussels looked superb.
