La Gioconda

La Gioconda is a cosy family-run Italian restaurant on Hornsey High Street, "quickly becoming a local favourite" according to FirstTable (2025). The menu features wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, handmade pasta (including four-cheese gnocchi and wagyu beef tortellini with truffle), and a 300g ribeye steak with truffle chips. Recipes have been passed down through generations. Rustic decor with old family photographs and crisp white walls create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
