La Gioconda Pizzorante in Haringey

disappointing- having had recommendation long wanted to visit but.. while some dishes were tasty the food was not of consistent quality, portions were on small side for price, food did not arrive together for a party of six so done finished before others began, service was very patchy and overall the place felt a little chilly and tired. Stroud Green alternatives offer much more attentive service, cozier brighter atmosphere and better value.

Did not start off great as we had booked a table which was not ready for us to sit at We had a drink at the bar and they gave us a drink on the house for the inconvenience We were glad we waited as the food was superb and the staff were too , very attentive and recognising that they had kept us waiting by also giving us a limoncello too We will return

Excellent experience.... tasty , quality food and fantastic service... ...Very good place for family and friends love to visit again ❣️

This is such a friendly great place to eat, I love the food here. Often eating in or getting take aways. The service is impeccable and food feels really authentic and delicious. Can’t recommend enough. It’s also lovely to have an Aperol outside here in the summer. So much better than Tomo across the two just don’t compare.

The food portions and the flavours are just sport one. Looking forward to go back again. The staff was knowledgeable and kind

We have been in this restaurant many times and the experience is consistently great! The food is delicious and there is plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Service is friendly and the overall atmosphere is very relaxed! Highly recommended!

I ordered the ‘La Gioconda’ pizza online. According to the menu, it’s topped with burrata, mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, Italian sausage and truffle. Unfortunately there were no porcini mushrooms whatsoever. Instead, the pizza had button mushrooms! Even though the product was expensive, and falsely advertised, I have not been given a refund or any compensation by the delivery company or the restaurant…

What a great find. Great food and amazing wine list. Luch time they running an offer for £8.99 for any pizza or pasta! Amazing value.

Me and my partner woke up in need of some good food to fuel us through the day. We love to try new places and we saw that la gioconda was only a 10 minute drive from us. We fancied a good traditional Italian meal. Let me start by saying they surpassed every expectation we had before we even knew it. Ergina the host and server was with us every step of the way serving not only great customer service, but the best vibes, and big smiles. Now the food. UNREAL. Being vegetarian they had plenty of options and I went for the veggie pizza which had my mouth watering from the flavour explosion and perfect dough. My partner went for the classic carbonara, when being served the dish the chef let us know it would be the best carbonara we have ever tasted. Let me just say…..HE DID NOT LIE!!! From the authentic ingredients and immaculate decor and environment we left with full belly’s and smiles on both our faces. Thank you to the chef, to amazing Erzina and to this gem of a restaurant in Hornsey, you guys have made our week! They say it’s the best pizza in town and that is only the start of the truth. Will definitely be returning and recommending, thank you thank you thank you

Visited here on a Friday night for dinner and the restaurants was maybe half full. The food was nice but service needs to be improved.. There were lots of staff milling around but it took 20 mins for our drinks order to be taken and an hour from when we arrived, for our cold starter to arrive. The waitress didn’t apologise just noted that we were patient and if it were her she’d be asking for a free drink yet she never gave us a free drink (?!) Waitress forgot our plates so had to wait again to eat after the food had been served. Also noticed other customers being given free limoncello but that wasn’t offered to us. I doubt we will return because of the service

Had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriend. Wine and pasta amazing, I recommend this place for a date

This is fast becoming my favourite restaurant. Excellent Italian food in a cozy atmosphere . Loved the Pappardelle Al Brasato Di Chianti and Ravioli Prawns and Scallops.

Posto accogliente e familiare. Ci sono stata due sere consecutive per provare piatti differenti ed in entrambi i casi abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Il personale sempre gentile e disponibile, sempre sorridenti e attenti ai clienti. Simpaticissimo e bravo Giacomo, chef, ci ha fatto rivivere l'atmosfera della nostra bellissima Italia. Ci torneremo sicuramente!

I ordered pizza. In the menu they don't say it's a onion or garlic. In the note I wrote " Without onion and garlic" and this useless people put onion on the top of it. After I received it ring to the restaurant. Someone answered me. I start conversation with him and he cancelled me. Absolutely useless staff. People don't use this " restaurant" PLEASE

I had a wonderful night with my friends where the service was excellent and the food made me feel I am in my hometown.

Pizzeria La Gioconda is a very good restaurant/ pizzeria. Tasty food, always specials on the board and friendly staff. Very very good!

Service was great, very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has such a calm vibe even when it got busy. Food was amazing! Wish we were staying longer so we could come back again!!

The delivery tracking showed the driver outside the apartment but I waited for some time before calling the restaurant to find out what's happening. During that time the order showed as delivered, yet no delivery had been attempted. The restaurant staff were not interested since the order was done through Just Eat and were not going to do anything to help. Just Eat may be responsible for the delivery but it is your reputation that it affects. Very unhappy!

we visited this restaurant recently and were disappointed . Firstly we were left at the table for 5 minutes without a menu whilst the staff chatted. Our food arrived and the chicken l ordered was not edible, it was tough ,overcooked and really dry, l struggled to cut it. I left it and mentioned to the waiter that it wasn't edible and he looked blankly at me. He didn't apologise or offer an alternative. l requested a discount but he returned with the full price bill and said he'd knocked off the service charge which is voluntary anyway !!!! l told me l wanted a discount off the meal and he started to argue. We decided to leave as we couldn't be bothered to argue. We won't return again. Poor customer service and terrible food sadly.

Had delicious food, the medium pizzas are a generous size. The starters were great too. It was obvious that the restaurant is popular with the locals and I can see why. The waitress was lovely and the service was spot on with the right amount of attention and great knowledge of the menu. Loved it!

This place used to be wonderful!!! Last 2 order have been pretty bad - cutting corners with ingredients (for ex. burrata was cheap mozzarella. Truffle was non existent.. and many more egs). And still very very pricey. Sadly its a no from us for a...

We live close and we have been there for take away but also for dine in. Lacated on main road is not very easy to see it. Inside is very rustic but feels like home. Menu is enough wide to have multiple choices on what...

For those that know what a real fresh pizza should taste like, this is the place for you. Out of the dozen or so times that I have visited this establishment never once have I been disappointed with either the smiling and helpful service or...

We went here Thursday night as it was a couple of doors away from the pub. Lovely quirky little intimate place, with rustic decor, excellent service, and excellent food. The pasta portions were large and very tasty and the cost reasonable. The waitress was so...

Really enjoyed our visit here. The waitress was lovely and the food was delicious. Would definitely go again - a real find.

Very good service and perfect place for excellent pizza/pasta. Quiet euro music playing in background made for unpretentious authentic Italian vibe. Almost felt like being on holiday. Would definitely visit again.

I could not bring myself to complain to the lovely family who run La Giaconda, but I was so disappointed with my order! What should have been delicately flavoured hand made seafood ravioli was stuffed with tinned anchovies and tasted really awful. My daughter ordered...

Great pizza, and great place to visit. I’ve now had a handful of orders from this fast and friendly gem of hornsey high street. Pizzas are beautifully authentic Romana style. Almost see-thru thin with a cracker base. Classic, basic pizzas such as the quattro stagioni/cappriciosa...

The pizza is good. The fact that you wait for forty minutes while the staff keeps saying "the pizza is in the oven" for about half an hour a bit less so. The issue is not the wait. The issue is being told at least...

Ho ordinato una pizza salsiccia e friarielli da asporto, pizza cruda alla base e la mozzarella bruciata sopra, poco condimento,...

This is such a great place. We ate there again tonight. The food is delicious and the service is great especially looking after our girls. Support this lovely local business.

We've been there 2 days ago , food was really really good , amazing!! We did try pizzas and pastas ( Gioconda pizza so yummy!!!) All the staff was so friendly and pizza was so good that I had to say hi to a pizza...

I had the pleasure to eat in this lovely italian restaurant. I have to say that me and my mom had the best pizza. Our compliments to the staff which was so nice and helpful. Thank you.

La pizza più buona italiana che ho mangiato a Londra! Consigliatissimo!!!!! Super gentili e veloci .

The food was amazing, both the pizza and the restaurant things. I ordered a lasagna (also tried pizza days ago), you should believe me, it was like my mom cooked it for me. Even the dessert (profiteroles) was very good and tasty. Special guest? espresso...

Mi local favorito. ¡Visité un par de veces ahora y hacen la pasta y pizza caseras más deliciosas! Los precios son buenos y el tamaño de las porciones es generoso.Es un lugar local pequeño, así que no esperes un entorno glamoroso, pero si te encanta la pizza y la pasta, ¡este es el lugar perfecto! ! El personal también es encantador.

Very busy restaurant. The food was Ok but nothing special. The seafood dishes seemed the best, and although we didn't order any, the pizzas looked good. Staff were very busy and rushed and made several mistakes on our bill.

Aparecí en este encantador pizzorante por casualidad, mientras esperaba a mi esposo, que estaba teniendo una entrevista de trabajo cerca. Pedí un capuchino y la encantadora mesera me dijo que lo traería y para que tomara asiento. El restaurante / cafetería era amplio y luminoso con una característica fresca de un extremo delantero de un Fiat 500 en el escaparate. - ver fotoPuedes ver las fantásticas pizzas frescas que se hacen frente a tus ojos y el horno de pizza está justo en la tienda, así que puedes verlo salir en cuestión de minutos. Está dirigido a todas las edades y los niños parecen estar disfrutando del helado.El personal era amable y acogedor. Tengo muchas ganas de volver

Nice food especially the Ragu but quite honestly this restaurant needs updating. The furniture and decor look really tired and generally the interior is very dull.

Fantastic Italian restaurant! Had a pizza Diavola with spicy Salami and pint of Moretti. Life couldn’t get better ! Thanks !

Been with my boyfriend and had an amazing dinner. Best pizza in the area. Great choices of Italian beers, Peroni and my favourite Icnusa from Sardinia Will be back

I went for a dinner with my girlfriend to eat a pizza. As Italians, we spent some time to find this place which looked all right at first, but the pizza was not good, nothing to do with the pictures and the ingredients were very poor. Never tried a mozzarella bad like that, and also the rest wasn’t the best. If you want to drink beer you’ve got only one choice (bottle of Moretti). We decided to not have a dessert at that point and we had a coffee which was also bad. Speaking about the customer service we can say that they don’t consider you much, and this until the end in fact after asking for the check we waited some time at the table and then standing up we kept waiting at the till. We think that the restaurant plates could offer more quality but we won’t be back to try.

Tra le tante proposte Italiane a Londra vere o fittizzie che siano..ci siamo ritrovati nel locale di un vecchio e caro amico..che dire..ottimo cibo..vero cibo italiano..sapori di casa..pizza e pasta buonissimi..prezzo ottimo..servizio italian style..consigliatissimo x chi vuole mangiare vera cucina italiana a londra

La Gioconda is everything you could ask for from a local Italian restaurant - and more. It’s reasonably priced, always welcome anywhere in London.

Had space so got in and had dinner with a glass of wine. Tagliatelle mushrooms and truffle was ok but not special, bread on the bruschetta was pretty firm perhaps hard, staff were great and it was ok

Estuve allí con mi novio para tener una pizza. Somos italianos y esperábamos la pizza napolitana ofrecida en el sitio web, pero era completamente diferente de las fotos. Estaba seco, con ingredientes de mala calidad y tenía perejil en lugar de orégano, que estaba escrito en el menú. . . ¿Perejil en pizza? ? Pagué 10 por una margherita grande que era exactamente del mismo tamaño que una pizza mediana.

Desde Escocia visitando para Año Nuevo. Se puede pasar fácilmente por este restaurante, solo para el auto que sobresale del frente. Engañosamente pequeño por fuera pero grande por dentro. El servicio fue excelente y la cerveza de Cerdeña fue fantástica! Para rematar, las pizzas fueron las mejores que he probado. Recomiendo encarecidamente que lo intentes.

The staff taught us a few words. The dedcor is tasful but also has some quite amusing things to look at. The Food was utterly delicous was blown away but just how pleasurable it all was would come back without questions in the future

Different choice for breakfast but found myself surprisingly enjoying it. Just got something to run on the way to work and filled a small corner and for £4 was a bargain. Might pop in for one of their lunchtime specials

Ristorante trovato casualmente, che consiglio vivamente.

Lovely place had a lobster and paccheri and it was delicious 😋 moving soon in the area and will defenetly come back

This is one of my lunchtime secrets when i slink off away from the office for a quick bite and the pizza for £5.99 is a good idea for those on a budget. It's such a lovely people the owner and his team always make me feel very welcomed its a lovely family atmosphere but not the kind of place you see lots of children!

Had the most amazing breakfast when nowhere nearby was open and by golly i needed that! The smoked salmon and eggs were perfection lashed down with fresh orange juice and some of the nicest coffee ever it set me up for a busy day ahead.

Rustic authentic italian cuisine with a good sense of humour thrown in. Loved all the mona lisa's with moustaches and on mobile phones. The food was impeccable with beautiful cheeses and flavourings.

Ordered the banquet and came to the door in 25 minutes, was really hot and spicy. no way could we have eaten all of the portions. Lets say they were more than generous and would order again for sure

When we're struggling to rustle up anything from the cupboards we pop to gioconda, its not far from us and we've never been dissapointed. Probably go there maybe once a fortnight. The food is always great and we love stefano and his team. Always takes care of us and makes us feel special.

Now i want to order, it is really yummy and i think this is good taste, i want to share also to my relatives to buy in your restaurant. This is so good information to know it has good quality and good place it is also comfortable to see.

Niiice, This place makes really good pizza, just ordered for something different and this place is a little gem. Melt in the mouth food. Im' wondering if i order another one tonight!

Ambience good and the food freshly made to order! We sat at the front & could see the pizza station and chefs preparing. I tried a Hibu craft Italian beer (great to see such options) followed by Burrata & Bruschetta Tomato for starters. We had the Burrata as a vegetarian option, so the meat was substituted with rocket, pesto and a basil garnish. Both dishes were well presented & tasted great! The Burrata was nice and creamy and had a nice soft bounce to it! The Bruschetta could have done with a little more garlic/ olive oil, so do ask the staff if this is how you like yours! For mains we ordered the Ravioli & Porcini Mushroom pizza! The Ravioli albeit tasty, could have done with a little more sauce & a few more pieces (picture shows portion size), however the pizza was satisfying! The tomato sauce had good bold flavour, the mozzarella cheese was stringy (lots of it) and accompanied the mixed mushrooms well. An overall good evening & will return to try something different next time!

Lots of real italians dining when came here which says a lot in it's self. Meal was flawless makes me think never tried the real deal before. Cant recommend highly enough

Im going to be ordering again tonight. That was absolutely decious the pizza was melt in the mouth good fresh and herby with great dough. Ordered in ona whim its my new little place.

Friend and i took full advantage of the wednesday offer. Fantastic quality and very good value indeed will be making a return visit with the partner

Superb quality ordered in using their online service. The food came quicly and truly amazing quality. A great alternative to the usual mainstream pizza options and should i say a damn site healthier!

vino straordinario, gente calda e cibo fantastico. un ambiente davvero adatto alle famiglie. Lo adoro

One of the best meals in years. Had anniversary dinner.happy wife happy life.awesome meals prepare and enjoy it.

Had the Seafood Ravioli to start and the Duckleg with Gnocci. Divine! Can't describe how delicious it was and great value. I recommend

Had a best night.enjoyed the best pizza,bread etc.food were so tasty.will come back. This delicious food

It makes all the difference ordering a real italian pizza they are so delicious and nothing like the main brands. Came quickly too would use their service again

What a night. Went all out with linguine, garlic bread, pizza, all freshly made. So tasty definately authentic and great value. Will be back

Italian Family reunion . Best pizza around crouch end and Hornsey. Authentic Italian atmosphere and an amazing wine especially passimiento red wine Will be back soon.

had the papaderele and the chicken with mushrooms. So delicious i couldn't fault it and im not even that much of a fan of paste normally.

Spent a most enjoyable evening here - very buzzy and atmospheric.

always looking for somewhere new to eat and my family loves Italian food. A breathe of fresh air to get a real taste of Italy.

Food was amazing, staff friendly, venue cosy. It’s a must visit! Will definitely go back. Recommend the starters and the diavola pizza, make sure you get a small one they are crazy big anyway!

Ordered a 3 musketeers and a wicked lisa really impressed. Arrived really hot, can tell its all fresh ingrediants absolutely delicious will be ordering again

Abbiamo scelto un buon calice di vino accompagnato da olive e poi siamo passati alla pizza...buona e buona scelta delle materie prime...peccato si sia freddata in un attimo...abbiamo provato margherita e 4 stagioni..e poi una porzione di gnocchi..sicuramente buoni ma troppo prezzemolo...i bambini non hanno apprezzato...

REVIEW: had eggs royale, smoked salmon isn't often done very well but you get loads here and its such amazing quality just popped in for some breakky after a heavy night. hmm so good

The warmest welcome by Stefano, beautiful oven baked pizza, shared a bottle of wine was a really friendly place. Coulnd't eat another bite!

The food is absolutely amazing credits to the chef, I would highly recommend going here.

Based in London's oldest recorded village, Hornsey (1202) this restaurant serves genuine Italian food because it's owned by Italians. Great pizzas and also excellent seafood. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Very friendly to kids. All pasta is homemade. The Fiat 500 seating at the front is sweet.

I’ve been to La Gioconda a few times already and it’s never failed me. Amazing flavours that capture authentic italian cuisine and great, warm staff. Check the specials, they are always worth it! Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in London.

Very lucky that I had a chance to visit this place!!!Amazing food, amazing service, super friendly staff, good atmosphere.highly recommend!!!

A great Italian restaurant that serves very good food in a lovely environment. Good selection across the menu for whatever you’re in the mood for. Welcoming atmosphere as well as service.

I went to la Gioconda with my girlfriend on Saturday evening.

I think its a best pizza i ever had , even in Italy it didnt taste so good. My husband had a duck with Gniochi and traffle , it was really good as well. Its my fourite spot from now on. Prices very affordable, pizza from £6 !

We go here quiet regularly for lunch and the pizza is absolutely incredible! I highly recommend the CK, the flavour is exquisite. The decor is great and the staff are extremely friendly, relaxed, funny and welcoming.

Delicious vegan cheese pizza in Hornsey. Staff were friendly and there was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend.

Per incominciare con un buon AperoSpritz e qualche buono snack, Ottima pizza, molto saporita a seguire da dei buoni amari come digestivo!

8 members of my Foodie Group were looking forward with eager anticipation to returning to this homely, friendly Italian restaurant, where we have enjoyed many excellent meals in the past.

If you are a fan of Italian restaurant's you need to visit this place, amazing pizzas and friendly atmosphere. Very well done, will visit again for sure.

I’m came back here after 2 years with my family. Same staff working and the food it is even tastier. The wine list is been upgraded with my favourite Italian wine which is The Primitivo of Manduria. I want to thanks the guys for the amazing dinner, my mom was very very happy. We had in the end of dinner a nice and fresh complimentary fruits, grapes and mangos.

Warm atmosphere, delicious Italian food, attentive and friendly service. Thank you guys for making our evening. Definitely will come back.

店内は開けっ放しで、冷房なし。外が30度近くあったので、店内はかなり暑かったです。ランチタイムはピザが5ポンドで、値段には大満足でした。味は極々普通です。

I went for dinner with 3 friends and it was amazing. Good food, good service and not expensive at all! I want come back!

We've just moved to the area and we couldn't have a better welcome!

THE BEST FOOD WE HAVE EATEN IN A LONG TIME. No faults. Service was amazing too so kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely lunch! X

We always love coming here. The perfect combination of great food and atmosphere. Recommended: gnocchi with duck, seafood soup and ravioli. Oh and negronis, obviously. The pizzas look great, but what’s special here are the pastas/mains which set it apart from the rest. Delicious! Keep up the great work.

The best pizza in London! I suggest to taste also the handmade pasta and the fresh fish! The staff is very friendly and I love that place to enjoy the very italian food. Well done!

Nicest authentic pizza place with £5 pizza lunch special. Really large for a medium and delicious!! Great relaxed atmosphere for the afternoon. Even made some friends with fellow solo pizza eaters. Will come back! Thanks

Genuine ingredients, tasty pizza, nice and friendly atmosphere! I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for Italian food!
