About Us
La Gioconda, the widely used name in Italy for Leonardo Da Vinci’s Monalisa, evokes the idea of utmost classic beauty . The legendary smile of the Monalisa has, also, forever spelled on the onlookers an aura of mysteriousness. We thought it would be a name , La Gioconda, that would best define our commitment to bring to the table a cuisine of classic Italian recipes. And, at the same time, as we bring to our customers newer and more modern versions of the ever-evolving Italian culinary panorama, we like, perhaps , perhaps, to think of our restaurant as a “Temple of Renaissance Cuisine”. Indeed from Pastas to Dessert you will experience at La Gioconda the same feeling of merriment that the Monalisa exudes through her beautiful smile.
