"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"
