The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
A Table Above the Adriatic
Perched in Gabicce Monte, the hilltop village that crowns the Riviera Romagnola, Dalla Gioconda occupies one of the most commanding positions on Italy's northern Adriatic coast. The address alone – Via dell'Orizzonte, "Street of the Horizon" – tells you something about the experience awaiting guests.
Italian Cuisine Recognised at the Highest Level
In 2023, Wine Spectator awarded Dalla Gioconda its prestigious Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for restaurants that demonstrate exceptional depth and breadth in their wine programs. For an Italian restaurant in a relatively intimate coastal setting, earning this level of international recognition places Dalla Gioconda firmly among the country's most serious dining destinations. The award speaks not only to the cellar but to the overall commitment to quality that underpins every aspect of the table.
What to Expect
Dalla Gioconda draws guests from along the Adriatic coast and well beyond, combining the traditions of Italian cuisine with a setting that rewards the short climb up from Gabicce Mare below. Lunch and dinner are both offered, making it a destination for an unhurried midday meal as much as a considered evening out.
The wine list, recognised by Wine Spectator, is clearly a centrepiece – curated to complement the kitchen's Italian cooking with the kind of range and depth that serious wine lovers will appreciate.
