We were staying at one of the nearby airport, hotels, and La Gioconda was recommended to us. It…read morereally hit the spot after a long day of travels. Here is what we noticed: - When we arrived, it was a little hot, so we opted to sit indoors, not realizing that we would be sitting near the open windows by the outdoor smoking section so be aware. - The menu is quite expansive, with lots of homemade pastas and pizzas. There were a lot of other interesting dishes that we wish we could try, but we just didn't need more than a couple. - We ordered a bottle of white wine and the server brought out the wrong one (a red). Luckily, we noticed it before it was opened and he brought out something else since the one we ordered apparently wasn't available. It ended up being really good! - We ordered a dozen snails, and eventually he served us four of them, indicating that they were all out, but that we wouldn't be charged. That was too bad because they were delicious and we wish they had had more. - We ordered the Quattro Fromaggio Pizza and the Tortellini Scampi for both of us to share. They were both excellent! - Service was OK, but our server got less attentive as the place got more crowded. It took forever for us to get our check and pay at the end even though we asked a couple of times. Bottom line: La Gioconda hit the spot for our first night in Geneva. It's not cheap but we didn't expect otherwise.

After a short 10 minute walk we located the establishment up one floor from the street. We were greeted immediately an shown to a table. The restaurant was bright and cheery with many families enjoying their surroundings. I was expecting to wait as the restaurant was very busy but within minutes our server took our drink order. The menu for just the pizzas and Calzones were more choices than anyone should have reason to ask for not to mention the pasta and meat choices. Again, once we ordered the pizza the food appeared within 15-20 minutes. The pizzas are said o be a portion for 1 person but we found with an appetizer an one pizza 2 of us were more than satisfied.

Who wouldn't succumb to their desires when truffles are on special??!! Get them on risotto, pasta,…read morepizza! Arriving at this inn slash butcher shop turned restaurant where they pack them in in proper European form. Is there a small spot? Table for four!! Ha! Today the special was TRUFFLE and its musky umami aroma fills the nose with great pleasure. No wonder the pigs can smell these even when they're underground! So awesome!! +++ I cannot help but order a plate of risotto covered in truffle (see the photo) BUT ITS ABOUT THE PIZZA!! This place (when it's not overflowing with truffle essence) is for PIZZA! * On your way to your seat, you'll no doubt pass by the old-school furnace (forno) where all the magic happens. * if you're lucky you can request a table right in front to watch these folks execute their art. * take your pick from chorizo (pepperoni), ham, mushroom, tomato and much more. FINISH WITH A CAFE GOURMAND But cold out today, so a wonderful cafe gourmand with assorted treats makes for an awesome finish. Creme brûlée was my fave.

My son ordered the ravioli du jour, which was truffle-I've never had a better ravioli in my entire life. And these were giant raviolis, but still light and fluffy, a very full portion.

We actually spoke to the chef since one of the orders had to be adjusted for dietary needs. Dinner started with bread and the tricolor salad.

Every dish delightful, prepared perfectly, and the souffle was perhaps the lightest I've had in a lifetime of excellent French cuisine. I changed my plans and returned for lunch the next day.
