    We sat at a window table (not much of a view) and had drinks with friends. There are a variety of dishes on the menú and we ordered wisely. Salads were fresh, pizza came out hot and the shrimp pasta was tasty. The restaurant started filling up but we did not feel rushed. We are planning on coming back here again.

    It was an OK experience. The pizza was OK, but every once in a while a server will forget part of the order, which is what happened to us.. There were not too many people in a restaurant I would say about 10 people, but it took a long time for our order to arrive. Then we waited a little bit longer for the rest of the order and it didn’t arrive until I flagged another server down. To remind them that they missed part of the order and then it took another five minutes to get it. The ambiance was OK. I expected a lot more from this place.

    Had such an amazing experience we went back twice. Amazing food, outstanding service and by using the Fork App, great value for money. A special mention to Andre who is an absolute asset to the Gioconda chain of restaurants. He deserves a pay rise. Just book and you won’t be disappointed.

    Food was average and we did not like the ambience, because of all the TV screens on all the walls. We also waited a long time for payment, in the end I proactively walked to the cashier to pay.

    3 of us dining. Garlic bread very good, and the bruschetta was even better - all toppings chopped finely rather than the large chunks often given elsewhere. They left a nice interval between courses which we appreciate. We all had a pasta dish and all 3 were excellent. A good selection of wine with very acceptable prices, including some half bottles as some of us preferred white to red. Staff are lovely and we will definitely be returning there.
