Delicious food & a warm, aesthetic vibe! The spinach gnocchi (gnocchi verdi) was a standout, YOU MUST ORDER THIS! The gnocchi was so pillowy soft & the sauce was rich with a bit of crunch on top.

The other dishes we got were tasty too (see pics) but did not linger in my mind afterwards as the spinach pasta did. Smores & Cream dessert was good but large in quantity - I'm a lover of dessert but would recommend to share this.

On nous demande de prendre un menu de groupe alors que nous sommes 6 à table, une personne décide de ne pas le prendre. Nous sommes servis (les 5 autres personnes) pour l'équivalent de 4 menus & non 5. Nous avons du partager des assiettes en 3 ce qui n'est vraiment pas idéal. Deux personnes ont fait part de restrictions alimentaires qui n'ont pas été respectées. (Viande dans les plats + fromage.) Personne n'est venu nous demander si cela était à notre goût. Nous n'avons pas voulu faire de vagues (C'était un repas de fête). Un courriel a été envoyé pour garder cela en privé mais aucune réponse. Expérience très décevante.

Le décor est amusant avec les assiettes dépareillées & des bibelots un peu partout. Nous étions assis au bar & le barman nous a bien conseillés sur le menu & la boisson.

Coup de coeur absolu chez Knuckles ❤?
Arrêt spontané pour l'apéro dans ce resto de quartier… & wow, quelle découverte ! Le panzerotti, le tartaeclair à l'omble & le Fool Me Wine nous ont complètement conquis : textures parfaites, saveurs franches, équilibre remarquable.

& que dire du service ? Rare, humain, patient, chaleureux… d'un professionnalisme incroyable. Knuckles, c'est une adresse qui marque. Merci. On reviendra, c'est certain !
