This NYC restaurant is a must-visit for gnocchi lo This NYC restaurant is a must-visit for gnocchi lovers 😍

Chef Antonio Masiello, originally from Campania, Italy, serves fresh gnocchi handmade in-house using locally sourced potatoes.

We tried the gnocchi trio with three sauces: 
🍅Sorrentina (tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil)
🧀Quattro Formaggi (Parmigiano, Primo Sale, Fontina, cream)
🌿Pesto Genovese (basil, pine nuts, Parmigiano, garlic, EVOO)

All were phenomenal, but the Sorrentina stole our hearts (we’re  suckers for a great tomato sauce).

Beyond gnocchi, the menu also features pasta, salads, pizza, starters, and mains (with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options).

And whatever you do, save room for dessert. We’re still dreaming about the tiramisu and already planning a return for the Nutella gnocchi.

📍 Gnocchi House Bar (74th & 1st)

@gnocchihousebar is the perfect cozy winter dinner spot- go check it out and tell us what you order!
