Gioia West Loop

Gioia Ristorante and Pastificio is one of the newest restaurants opening on Restaurant Row in the West Loop at 1133 W. Randolph St.

Gioia will serve 12 to 15 pastas made fresh daily, featuring both modern, innovative dishes as well as classic regional favorites. The chef for Gioia, Federico Comacchio, got his “chops” at Michelin Starred restaurant, Ristorante Sadler in Milan, as well as the time he spent as the executive chef at Phil Stefani’s Coco Pazzo and 437 Rush. According to a spokesperson for Gioia, Italian native, Comacchio has been visiting Italy regularly and wants to serve what he’s learned back home.

Gioia was slated to open its doors in spring of 2020, but for obvious reasons, that didn’t happen. Signage on their storefront says they expect to open in the coming weeks. Given how great their menu sounds, we can only hope it’s not much longer!

Randolph Street is known locally and internationally for its high density of top notch restaurants. From Michelin Starred culinary experiences to “the best burger ever”, you can find it all on Randolph Street.
