La Gioconda Pizzorante

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.

This place used to be wonderful! Last 2 order were pretty bad cutting corners with ingredients (for ex. burrata was cheap mozzarella. Truffle was nonexistent. and more. And still very expensive. Sadly it's a no from us for...

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 with the right amount of... attention and great knowledge of the menu. I loved it!

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...the pizza, which was very good.

For those who 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, I have never once been disappointed with either the smiling and helpful service or the quality of Italian... cuisine served. Each pizza is made just to perfection with the finest, freshest punches. In terms of value for money, this gets my A as well.

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...to have but easy understandable. Food is all great and most of the dishes (not all of them) are very close to Italian culture. Price surely worth portions and quality. Friendly and easygoing service was perfect for the concept of the place. Must go.

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...4 times over half an hour it's coming, it's in the oven by the annoyed staff member when this is obviously a lie. Everyone can have a bad day, but escalating the subsequent complaint with a then don't come again and sneers is just, quite frankly, poor manners. Pity as the pizza is not bad.

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...are authentically recreated. The more inventive wicked Lisa/la gioconda are full of flavour and texture. Only ever taken out, not eaten in; but the speed of the phonecall-to-collection, price (midweek £6 and friendly fiat 500 welcome makes this a favourite..

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...friendly and made our evening chatting to us. My only suggestion is that they do more choice of pasta dishes for vegetarians as only two, but it seems pizza is their main business. I believe they do takeaway Mon-Thur for £7 for any dish which is excellent value for high quality food.
