La Gioconda
Situated in the heart of the historic centre, this restaurant pays tribute to the Cagli region and the Marche hinterland. Dishes feature the best local ingredients, such as truffles in season (both black and white), as well as a dessert in memory of local sculptor Eliseo Mattiacci (the “fabbrica del cosmo” made with yoghurt, wafers and strawberries). The wine list shows a strong preference for the Marche, but also features wines from further afield.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 80 reviews
La Gioconda in Cagli offers modern cuisine with country influences, holding an average rating of 4.1/5. Guests frequently praise the curated menu, highlighting dishes like white truffles, low-temperature eggs, and grilled porcini mushrooms within a comfortable, vaulted atmosphere. However, experiences vary significantly. While some appreciate the impeccable service and balance of quality, others report issues with unprofessional staff, poor meal pacing, and declining food quality. Recent negative reviews specifically mention disappointing truffle dishes and a lack of attentiveness. Although the setting remains appealing, inconsistent service and ingredient quality suggest diners should check recent feedback before visiting to ensure expectations align with current standards.
Suitable for diners seeking refined truffle cuisine who can tolerate service variability; check recent reviews first.
