Not only the food was great, the ambiance and treatment we received was amazing. The chef came by each table and said hello and was very kind, the waiter tolerated my brother who always has a special order. Didn't even laugh at us when we asked for cold glass of milk with our dessert, which most Europeans would. We saw the food that a large group was having it seemed it was specially made for them, but they were nice enough to make it for us too. The waiter saw me stealing potatoes off of my brother's plate, and brought us an extra side plate of potatoes. Very nice, very accommodating and the taste and qualify of the food was really worth writing about.

Probably the best game menu in the Geneva area. They also make an excellent fondue, in my opinion…read morebetter than the way overrated Café du Soleil's one. The interior decoration is oldish and very basic (typical countryside bistro), but they have a nice 'al fresco' terrace in summer, the food is simple but very natural and of great quality ,and prices are very reasonable. Service is also very good and friendly. Besides you will get to see one of the smallest and charming villages in the Geneva countryside with a magnificent hillview over a beautiful valley.

The food is great and cheap! They have the usual pizza, pasta, burger and salad menu, but they are…read morevery tasty. I highly recomend this place.

It was full of locals and had an ambiance of a small village pub where everyone knew each other. Even though the waitresses spoke little English, they tried very hard to explain the menu to us. The food was amazingly AMAZING and all ingredients were fresh from local sources. The dessert was heavenly and better than some very famous restaurants I had been. The prices were very reasonable. It is really a gem.

Food is excellent. I love the location. It is great for big families. Note: I went pre-pandemic.read more

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.
