We don’t know about you, but if we see gnocchi on the menu, it’s hard to say no. You couldn’t believe our excitement when Paddington received Australia’s first dedicated gnoccheria! Ben Cleary-Corradini (founder of Benfatti Fine Italian Foods) and Theo Roduner (head chef of Grappino), the clever friends behind market stall Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers, opened their bricks-and-mortar eatery in late November of 2016 on Given Terrace. Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers offers both dine-in and takeaway options, with a variety of gnocchi and sauces made in house daily to choose from, as well as a selection of Italian sweets. The menu offers the likes of gnocchi with wild mushroom and truffle sauce, gnocchi with Genovese-style pesto and gnocchi with slow-cooked duck ragu, as well as sides including deep-fried mince-stuffed olives to thick-cut potato chips with truffle salt and aioli. Gluten-free options will be available in the near future, as will a selection a Italian wines. Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers will be catering to absolute gnocchi fiends with a masterclass series, which will offer attendees half a day of gnocchi indulgence paired with good red wine. Take note – dine-in seating is limited, so be sure to book ahead. Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers also does a cracking takeaway trade – so you won’t have to wait long to get your fix of gnocchi either way. And don’t stress market goers – you can still to find the boys at markets around town.
