La Gioconda

Very cozy, authentic Italian restaurant with extremely reasonable pricing. All our dishes and wine were excellent. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. Would love to go back.

Amazing food! Will be coming back!

Very cozy restaurant in midtown, friendly stuff and delicious food!

I was there 3 night ago and I enjoyed every minute of it. Such a great, warm place with an outstanding food. You will definitely see me back.

This is a fantastic place ! Very good Italian food and great environment . The staff is very competent and dedicated Kid-friendliness: It is family oriented

I eat there since the late 90's last time i try again the braised short ribs out of this world , if they are in business for 30 there must be a reason...

had a delightful meal at this cute restaurant on a sunday evening! the food was simple, elegant and very very well made. we had the grilled calamari and the octopus salad for appetizers - both were exceptional. calamari was super fresh (not frozen) and therefore was delicious when grilled. octopus was perfectly cooked and charred and yet tender and not chewy. we shared the orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage - light and full of spring flavor. rounded it off with a perfect espresso and a complimentary muscato which was a great touch. the owner pietro is from amalfi and we ended chatting for quite a while. he was super friendly and brought the warmth, love for people, and genuine interest in great food from southern italy to manhattan. it felt like a true neighborhood place in an otherwise very touristy and soulless part of midtown. great job pietro.

Cozy Authentic Nice Real Italian Experience ! The owner is from my same city in Italy ! he tells me that they have been there for decades, and I wish them many more! They host you with Kindness and Authentic Italian (real Italian!) food : this week I enjoyed the Special FRESH PASTA FUSILLI ferretto , just like my father used to make at home every Sunday, served with Almond Pesto and BURRATA from PUGLIA Italy ., a perfect combination of taste , super fresh super tasty super good. And I love the Crespelle : Warm Crepes with Chocolate sauce ! Last time I had Stinco di Agnello , and Potato pure with truffle oil , yummy ! Thank you , I always feel at home , and will be back soon for the Gnocchi all Amalfitana .
