Ristorante Dalla Gioconda In Gabicce mare

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!

A truly unforgettable dinner. The restaurant offers a breathtaking view that alone is worth the visit, but it's the gastronomic experience that makes it complete: dishes crafted with attention to detail, featuring a refined and surprising blend of flavors, showcasing each ingredient without ever being banal. The service was impeccable: attentive, discreet, and always ready to accommodate every need. Special mention should be made of the sensitivity shown towards food intolerances: the attention paid to a celiac guest was exemplary, with safe, creative, and never restrictive options, allowing him to enjoy the same taste experience as the other guests. A place that combines elegance, hospitality, and excellent quality, perfect for those seeking a high-end evening in every respect. The only downside: the wine list, while very varied and interesting, is decidedly overpriced.

A dream location, you dine on a terrace overlooking the Romagna Riviera at sunset. The ambiance is exquisitely refined and has a distinct '80s feel, from the menu, presented in a vinyl record sleeve, to the waiters' dress code, perfectly vintage and glamorous. There were two of us: we opted for the full €140 menu, with wine pairings recommended by the sommelier, to which we added their signature dish: the pasta and Adriatic fish tureen (the latter, a 10/10). All flavors are bold and well-balanced, and you can sense the chef's "Franciscan touch." The green ravioli filled with arugula and rue are truly unique, with a distinctly bitter aftertaste. The desserts are jaw-dropping! Overall, I would have preferred the dishes to be described with a little more verve, but despite this, the service was in line with what dining room management in a Michelin-starred restaurant should be. The only thing that wasn't entirely clear was the service charge included in the final bill (5%?).

The location, the cuisine, the service, the wine cellar... There's nothing about this restaurant that isn't wonderfully perfect. Fabio's chef creates dishes that pamper the heart and palate, sometimes with a challenging twist, without abandoning his roots. The view of the best sunset in Romagna... You can only get it at La Gioconda. A must-see.

Davide di Fabio is in great shape, I think one of the best in Italy of his generation, congratulations! The place is beautiful, as is their wine cellar, and the sommelier is superb. All this should be accompanied by a more incisive and present presence in the dining room, because the current ownership is a bit absent, leaving the arduous task to the talented young staff, who, however, do not have the role of manager. In any case! Super!

We stayed one night in the beautiful turquoise room. We enjoyed the pool with its splendid view and had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. Of course, the breakfast was also delicious. What can I say...a magical place, nestled in the already stunning village of Gabicce Monte. Every detail is thoughtful and meticulously thought out. We will definitely be back.
