Ristorante Dalla Gioconda In Gabicce mare

A dinner with very good memories, a fantastic experience.

We stumbled upon this restaurant purely by chance on the way home from vacation. We didn't know it was a Michelin-starred restaurant, so we didn't get the experience that this type of restaurant deserves. It's impossible not to appreciate the elegance of the dining rooms, the attentive service, and the meticulous attention to detail in the kitchen. Just one note, though it doesn't take away the five stars, but I think it's important. We didn't like the menu, specifically the list of dishes. It's evocative, colorful, and fun, with its surprise vinyl record, but nothing is specified. No ingredients, no useful details. After studying it for 10 minutes, when the waiter arrived, we changed our order because, following his explanations, we discovered that the names of the dishes didn't actually correspond to their preparation or contained ingredients that weren't to our taste. So, there's no point in leaving the menu... Prices are obviously not for everyone.

A unique experience! Recommended for a refined tasting experience rich in intense flavors.

Amazing place, both the restaurant and the rooms and breakfast! Congratulations to everyone! Well done guys!!

A beautiful place, meticulously maintained down to the last detail. The casual atmosphere makes you feel at ease. The food is very good (though it lacks the wow factor, in my opinion). The service could be improved, but for this type of place, I expect it to be casual yet attentive. Special mention goes to the pastry shop!

Sitting at @dallagioconda's Golden Table didn't disappoint. A picture-perfect location, the table with the best view, a completely customizable menu, a crescendo of flavors and combinations that leave a lasting impression. @davidedifabio's touch is elegant, creative, and decidedly pop.

Immediately became one of my favourite places in Italy. Location is super cool and the food is extremely good. All dishes were very powerful (I like that) but equally not too complex where you don’t understand what you are eating. The Chef told us he was 16 yrs at Osteria Francescana - it was for me 3x better and I would definitely come again to Dalla Gioconda. Also the rooms are great and the breakfast ist amaizing. Highly recommend!

I've been to La Gioconda several times, and each time is better than the last. This experience was truly extraordinary: Davide Di Fabio's cuisine reached extraordinary heights, transforming the tasting menu into a true sensory journey. The chef played with our palate with sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and texture, creating an impeccable harmony that surprised and captivated us with every dish. The service matched the cuisine: impeccable, attentive, and always present at the right time, without ever being intrusive. Every gesture conveyed passion and care, making us feel pampered from start to finish. At the end, we asked to say hello to the chef, but were told he wasn't there that evening. Yet, everything was perfect from start to finish: this demonstrates how the team works seamlessly, a sign of great organization and a shared philosophy. The wine list is also noteworthy: incredibly varied, carefully curated, and with options for everyone, capable of enhancing every dish and satisfying every taste. An experience worthy of a Michelin star, but whose quality and intensity make one star seem too small. Congratulations to the entire team: I can't wait to return.

An elegant three-story restaurant with spacious panoramic terraces offering a splendid view of the bay. The rooms are warm yet understated, thoughtfully furnished with well-spaced tables and comfortable seating. We dined on the vegetarian menu called Hit Parade, seven courses bursting with color and unique yet well-balanced flavors. Overall, I found the tasting interesting and satisfying for both the eye and the palate. The wine list is extensive, with a wide selection even by the glass, and the cellar is impressive (I recommend a visit). The music was soft and original, as we listened to many B-sides of '70s and '80s disco, which was undoubtedly played there back then (a very welcome rejuvenation for the two of us). The service was attentive and friendly, perhaps a little too short between courses, but a wait would have been worse. The bathrooms are adjacent to the cellar, and those dining on the top floor will have to climb a lot of stairs, unless you ask reception to enable the elevator. The price, which is not modest, includes the rather unusual "service" charge, but above all, in my opinion, the exclusivity of the view, since other Michelin-starred restaurants offer similarly complex, extensive, and carefully curated menus at lower prices. Finally, I should point out that, given the limited paid public parking spaces and the extremely crowded atmosphere, you'll need to have coins and patience.

Excellent experience at this very beautiful place. High-end cuisine, as is the wine list. Service was a bit cold and lacking a dedicated staff member. Well done!
