   To start, they were so helpful and respectful when I called mentioning I would be late due to heavy traffic and they still put us in a seat once we got there. Funny part is when driving up to the place, kind of looks like a hole in the wall so you wouldn't expect to want to walk in but when you finally walk into this small gem, the ambiance is so energetic and the decor pops to make it a romantic spot. The staff, from the host to the waiter were respectful and very good. The waiter doesn't rush you at all and you get to enjoy a good glass of wine and chat. Finally, the food. For a place you wouldn't think would have good food, well you would be wrong. We started with the appetizers which was the prosciutto and burrata. The prosciutto wasn't salty at all which blended very well with how good the burrata was. Just wow. Then another appetizer is the Carpaccio meat with arugula salad and topped with a shredded cheese. That also blended great together. Moving to the dinner, my wife had the popular Vodka Gnocchi. That tasted just right. The flavor of the vodka sauced mixed with the Gnocchi very well. The vodka sauce wasn't overpowering. I had the Carbonara Gnocchi. The egg, italian bacon, and white wine sauced was the best mix. Full of flavor on my dish. Finally, the dessert. The host kept coming to us to see if we were doing good. She was great. She recommended the Nutella Fried Gnocchi and I took the first bite into it and immediately knew, they were their word when it says nutella and not just some plain chocolate. This dessert was great with the nutella and white powered sugar on top. Hit the spot. To finish the night, for our wedding anniversary, they provided 2 glasses of prosecco. I would fully recommend this restaurant to anyone and go back to try the other dishes. Thank you!

   Some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. Incredibly welcoming and helpful with making decision. And the food was spectacular. Top of the line gnocchi, and don’t miss the Nutella fried gnocchi for dessert! Thank you to everyone at the Gnoccheria for a great evening!

   This is a VERY special place. Food is gorgeous, fresh and authentically Italian. Georgio - attentive and kind. Location - it’s worth the trip.

   We had an 8:00 reservation but didn’t get seated until 8:45. We overheard that their reservation system includes the tables in the outdoor patio that is hardly enclosed and given that the windchill was 17 degrees, that wasn’t an option. It took a while to receive any food (over 30 minutes) and honestly the food was not worth the hype it gets on social media. We both ordered the vodka gnocchi over a chicken cutlet but the cutlet was so small (and dried out!) you couldn’t even tell there was one on the plate. And $42 for each of those plates?! Give me a break. Hard pass / avoid.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. The seating was extremely close. There were only four people, including my daughter and I, and we were seated within 12 inches of each other. It was difficult to have a conversation being that close and wasn’t necessary given the restaurant was not at all full.
