La Gioconda

Great place with nice service, typical italian. Pizza was really good, for the price she was really big. I liked this evening with the Italian music too

Nice local Italian restaurant, a good change from the formulaic chains. Good value, great food if slightly slow and quirky service but well worth it.

Decided to go here due to it's Timeout award. We were sat without menus at the back of the restaurant and were one of 4 tables. It took nearly 10 minutes for us to get somebody's attention to bring us menus. 5 minutes later we ordered a beer and a glass of wine but weren't asked for our food orders. The beer arrived promptly but no sign of the wine. After another 15 minutes of trying to get someone's attention and no wine we decided to give up and go to tesco. There was also horrendous club-like techno music blasting out. Very disappointed as we were so looking forward to a lovely meal :( First time I've ever walked out of a restaurant.

La Gioconda is an absolute gem! The food is incredible with large portion sizes and beautiful flavours which absolutely mimic traditional Italian cooking. The pizzas are the highlight - using good quality ingredients and as the Italians do, are not overloaded with toppings. Service is attentive and friendly - an added bonus!

The food was great, the mixed antipasta, the pasta and the pizzas. The house wine Sangiovese was really good and the service was charming and attentive. Great little restaurant and very good value too.

We have been coming to this restaurant for 3 years and the food has always been mind-blowing. The service is amazing and this is our favourite restaurant in London for sure ! Thank you again to the team for this warm atmosphere. See you soon !
