La Pazza Gioia

Ristorante — Pizzeria

La Pazza Gioia literally means ‘mad joy’, but in reality it is an Italian expression to say that you are enjoying life to the fullest, indulging, going crazy with the pleasures of life.

What better way than to relish high quality food, rich flavors and full-bodied wine. As our chef says: good food is one of life's greatest pleasures.

Come in and taste 'La dolce vita'.
