Fodor's Expert Review Joia

At this hushed, haute-cuisine vegetarian haven near Piazza della Repubblica, delicious dishes—all without eggs and many without flour—are served in a minimalist beige room that puts the focus solely on the artistry of the food. Vegetarians, who often get short shrift in Italy, will marvel at the variety of culinary offerings made from many organic and biodynamic ingredients. They are best experienced with one of the interesting tasting menus offered at lunch (more affordable) and dinner, which read more like poems than dish descriptions.
