About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for groups

La Gioconda is an Italian restaurant with a rustic appeal. The dining room is cozy, with only about 12 tables filling its main seating area. The decor is quaint and charming, which leaves guests feeling that they could be in a small neighborhood diner somewhere in Italy. The food at La Gioconda is moderately priced with hearty portions, forgoing the smaller plates of fancier fine dining restaurants.

La Gioconda's menu is full of classic Italian dishes that guests will love. Each is made with the freshest local ingredients and careful adherence to the classic recipes that made the dishes iconic in the first place. One favorite is the slow-roasted short ribs ragout. La Gioconda also has a full range of Italian wines by glass to pair with its authentic cuisine!

You should definitely try the pasta with braised rib ragout, the shrimp wrapped in Pancetta over cannellini beans, the risottos. All are amazingly good. They also have daily specials which are inventive and wonderful.

This is a wonderful cozy place with great food and great service. Had the Branzino and it was delicious. Charcuterie plate was also delicious. Server was perfect - attentive and not overbearing. Overall excellent value especially for midtown where you can get mediocre food for expensive prices - this place is a gem!
