La Gioconda - New York

Charming little restaurant! I had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it. The pasta dishes were full of great flavors. I ordered a salad, mistakenly thinking it would be a main course, and it turned out to be quite small and not very filling, although it was tasty. Thankfully, I shared a pasta dish. Ordering only mains ended up costing less than a meal at Five Guys. I definitely recommend this spot for couples and small groups!

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.

I received excellent service from friendly staff, and the food was delicious in a cozy atmosphere. It's fantastic to have the option for both indoor and outdoor seating. I've returned many times!

The air conditioning was insufficient for the summer heat. Additionally, my server didn't offer freshly ground pepper or grated cheese.

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!
