Great little old-school Italian deli. The Italian Mix sub was really good and the staff were very friendly.
I ordered 55 sandwiches from La Gioia and they were awesome at accommodating the large order. Plus the sandwiches were great! I highly recommend.
Great selection of Italian specialties. Their homemade meatballs, ravioli, pastas and tomato pizza pie are the very best. Pricing is great and you will not break the bank shopping here. I highly recommended LaGiola's. A staple in the Schenectady community for many years.
Authentic Italian food and familyDelicious homemade goods and subs
This is the best homemade italian eats as well as imported in my area. The frozen desserts, homemade sauce, pasta and deli with fresh rolls keep me coming back for more.
Fresh and amazing...this Schenectady icon has everything for your next meal or two or five!
The store is aptly named and was indeed a 'Joy' to visit. After losing the Italian deli in Saratoga that I've patronized for many years to a buyer from Albany that doesn't even answer the phone, I began a search for a true Italian deli. When I walked into La Gioia I knew I had found what I was looking for. The aroma of Italy in the air, the hustle bustle of a staff serving with professional knowledge, courtesy, and a neat and clean appearance, so rare today, and shelves and cases filled with all the Mediterranean delicacies imaginable, made me realize the true gem I had discovered. This was a wonderful epiphany for me; I smiled all the way home 30 miles away.

Everything they make here is awesome! Everyone here is so friendly, and you always feel so welcome! All of their offerings are top notch, and there is so much to check out here! A true gem! Can you beat their Italian mixed sub?!? It's amazing!
What's not to love about this place? Friendly service, fresh products and that old home town feeling that you just walked into Nonna's kitchen.
