La Gioconda Pizzorante - London

A relaxed evening in la gioconda. very nice meal the garnels and the bark are excellent.

Fantastic local authentic Italian restaurant! we ordered pizzas and salads with their house white wine and excellent service!

Disappoint. the most important waitress was not know about the dishes served. and the service was slow, although the restaurant was only half full. we had to ask for parmigiana for our pasta dishes and the bill came before the desserts we had already ordered. the courts were all average and nothing special that could not be made better at home. the decoration was dated and difficult, which leads to a very general drab ambiente. nothing great, but nothing terrible. the pizzas looked good, so maybe this is the thing to have. Don't think we're back.

"The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and offers authentic Italian cuisine along with a wide selection of wines."

I have dined at this restaurant several times and have never been let down by the food, service, or value. I have introduced La Gioconda to my friends and it has become one of our favorite places to gather for a meal. Despite being somewhat hidden away, the restaurant is slowly gaining recognition for its excellent cuisine. The simple, rustic charm may not suit everyone, but for those of us who enjoy creating our own atmosphere with lively conversation and a few bottles of delicious red wine, this is the perfect spot to be.
