Good gnocchi with a very generous portion. I tried it with extra cheese & spicy sauce-the quality was good, but the spicy version wasn't really for me.

Still, if you're a gnocchi lover & want a filling meal, this is a solid option.

For $5, it's a quick, filling snack in an area close to lots of other options if you're looking to try a few things (Kem Coba, Fairmount Bagel & Dieu du Ciel) or looking for a filling snack.

Taste-wise it fell flat as the gnocchi was under seasoned & the sauce tasted a bit burnt.

Came here at opening & they were late to open. I got the gnocchi with cheese & the sauce is bland & salty. Disappointed that the cheese is only on the top & tasted like Kraft Parm. However the portion is quite big & good value.

La première fois, on voulait emporter notre commande, mais le vendeur nous a conseillé de consommer sur place pour mieux apprécier le goût. Aujourd'hui, on a acheté & mangé sur le champ, saupoudré de poudre de fromage & de piment. Ce n'est pas gras du tout, très savoureux, aussi bien les adultes que les enfants ont adoré. On n'avait pas assez mangé, donc on a repris une boîte pour manger en marchant. Par contre, si on en mange trop, on se sent vite rassasié.

Take out rapide & Gnocchis correct. Cela ne va clairment pas être les meilleurs de votre vie, mais pour le prix on peut difficilement se plaindre.

'cheese' is a kraft parmesan cheese to go on top of theses gummy balls called' gnocchis' in what they say is a tomatoe sauce nonna's style ! I had to throw them away after 2 bites & God knows how I love food & Italian food especially. But aside a cute little corner shop that seems so appealing for real Italian snacks. What they sold is simply in disgusting. A perfect tourist trap.
