Reviews for La Gioconda in New York, NY
Lovely tiny restaurant. Had to wait around to get a table. Pasta dishes were really great flavours. I did get a salad thinking... it was equivalent to a main, and found it to be very small and unfilling but tasty, luckily I was going halves on a pasta dish.Getting just mains this actually cost less than eating at Five Guys. Defo recommend it for couples and small groups. Read more
Their air conditioning is not adequate for the summer heat. My server did not offer fresh ground pepper nor grated cheese.
The place is small, so it's quiet. Their restaurant week offerings give plenty of options. The food is very tasty, but the... following happened: there was some unidentified shmutz in my water, my shrimp wrapped in Italian bacon served over cannellonibeans was overcooked, and the waiter gave me the wrong entree. I ordered the Sea Bass, he even repeated it to me, and Iconfirmed.... He brought me the salmon. It was delicious, but NOT what I ordered. Read more
Incredible hospitality, matched with incredible food for the price. If you're looking for that secret low key "hole in the wall"... with great food this is it. Extraordinarily tender short ribs, perfectly aldente pasta, and a selection of deserts that managesto satisfy those of us at the table with a sweet tooth, without being too overbearing for those without. Highly recommended,definitely worth a revisit for us! Read more
Awesome small local restaurant. Pure Italian deliciousness. I wish they had a kids menu, otherwise we loved our experience!... Highly recommended. Read more
Had the short rib Ragu, terribly watery and sorely lacking in flavour. The pasta was fresh, though inadequate to save the dish.... This is in addition to their poor service and rude staff. Do not come here. Read more
Ordered an eggplant pasta dish which was pretty good. It can support a large part as we were a group of 16 person. It's a nice... relaxed place with cool vibes . Definitely should order the chocolate cake for dessert as it was the highlight of the dinner. Read more
