Gnocci in Rome

Check out Katie Parla or Elizabeth Mincilli's blogs for suggestions. You could also email them with your question.

Thursday is the traditional gnocchi day in Rome. Any place that serves it (any day) should be able to give you the gnocchi the way you want it.

L'Idillio (in the Prenestino district, take a taxi).
You can also ask the locals for more advice on city center locations. However you need the correct spelling and pronunciation:
GNOCCHI
Pronounce: "niok-key" (beginning "ni" as in Spanish ñ with dieresis of Niño, or similar to English Onion)

@Quirite, maybe it's a generational thing or a casalinga thing, but I remember it well. Now, of course, you can get gnocchi any day.

Edit: Google "gnocchi Thursday Rome" for delicious pics and photos.

Thanks, Quirite, I feel so much better (and older) now...;-)

One variety I love of gnocchi and have to recommend is paired with a gorgonzola and pear sauce (gnocchi al gorgonzola e pere). So tasty!

I totally agree with Devon. Gnocchi al gorgonzola e pere is my favorite! You might try Ristorante Maccheroni, Piazza delle Coppelle 44

This feed is making my hungry....gnocchi with gorgonzola and pear sauce????? OMG

Thanks for all the suggestions The pear and gorgonzola suggestion has gone to the top of the list!
