Gnoccheria East Village

Cute spot for gnocchi and a nice chat. We went for lunch on the weekend and was able to find a table without reservation. Patio seating looked nice if the weather was more temperate. Staff were all very kind and the food was yummy - very homey flavours. Will have to come back to try more of the sauces. We had the truffle gnocchi and the norma with stuffed gnocchi. Preferred the red sauce, but good texture of the gnocchi. Lots of vegetarian options

Amazing place! The owner is so passionate and cares so much about your experience! The food was 10/10 penne alla vodka fried gnocchi was incredible. Everything was great!!! Coming back on the next trip. - Friends from Florida

I randomly found this place on Facebook and fell in love with how delicious all the food looked in the pictures. We absolutely had to try it. Let me tell you… It did not disappoint. The pesto is made fresh daily… and the Sorrentina sauce tasted exactly like we experienced it in Sorrento Italy a couple years back. There’s no doubt in my mind that this little restaurant will soon be a staple in East Village!

My husband and I came here from a TikTok recommendation we saw. Everything was amazing. The service is unmatched, friendly, attentive, all the positive adjectives. Gnocchi was like pillowy clouds, easily the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely recommend!

Cloud like pillows sit on your plate, covered in an array of delicious sauce. That’s what you get when you come to Gnoccheria. Sure, you can get a single style gnocchi but why do that when you can get four different varieties along with a divine ball of burrata? Perfect for two people, this place will have you thinking about your next meal here even before you leave.

The gnocchi is amazingggg. I had dinner here with my friend & the 2 for 1 tasting is a great way to taste some of the various sauces they have. We also grabbed dessert, some of which is made in house. I ordered some to go for my husband and it still tasted great once I got it home. Waited seemed to be rushing us out but we took the time we needed. We were only there about 1.5hrs catching up but I will definitely be back here. The food is too good!

This place was every bit as good as I was hoping it would be. My boyfriend LOVES gnocchi, so I figured what better place to take him? It already came highly recommended, and for good reason. We had the polpette (meatballs) in sunday sauce, which was AMAZING (the sauce was just unbelievable), the carbonara gnocchi (excellent), and the star of the show, the 4-gnocchi special (one set each of different sauces—sorrentina (their sundat sauce), pesto genovese, quatro formaggi (the best!), and burro & salvia) with burrata in the center. Magnificent. The complimentary bread was wonderful as well, as was the ambiance and fantastic service. Will be coming there again and again! What an excellent find.

I could definitely give 6 stars! The best gnoccheria ever! I found them on Instagram and had to go there when I was in NYC. Staff was super helpful, they helped us choose the best meals. And everything was just 10/10! I can totally recommend, especially the baked truffle ones🤍

Incredibly delicious food with a fantastic atmosphere. Service was very quick and the person serving us was tremendously kind and helpful.

Reserved a table here to celebrate my boyfriend's 25th birthday and the service was just stellar!!! Our waiter was incredibly kind, helpful, and even gave us drinks on the house to celebrate. The restaurant is small but cozy and with amazing decor. They have a great selection of wines as well. Now onto the food... the gnocchis were spectacular! My boyfriend got their fried gnocchis in "pink sauce" and we both loved them - the sauce had the perfect balance of tomato and cream flavor which made it not overbearing and just heavy enough. I ordered their cacio e pepe mushroom filled gnocchis and loved them! The sauce was light and allowed the gnocchis to be the start of the meal! All in all, with the amazing service and great food, we will definitely come back!

Service - Attentive. They were able to give us a better selection between the apps since we knew what our entrees were. They were there when we needed them but gone when we didnt. Food: Four Gnocchi & Salad - Great Flavor. This was plenty for two people to share. From the 4 gnocchi available, I could've done without the butter-sage one. With that being said, they have an option to have the other 3 flavors together instead. Meatballs- delicious! Perfect seasoning to a classic dish Fried Gnocchi w/ Nutella - Best of the night! Do not skip out on this slightly crispy, and chewy sweet dessert. I come for dinner but will come back for this dessert! On to my next adventure...

I found this restaurant on tik tok & as a gnocchi lover, I had to try them out. From the outside, you wouldn't have figured out it was the restaurant. It is in the middle of a long street and under a scaffolding filled with graffiti. The inside is quite small, so definitely make a reservation ahead of time if you do decide to come here. I went with my mom and best friend and we shared all the plates pictured. The fried calamari were fried well and had a good batter on it. The platter with the four different amount of gnocchis was a good portion for the three of us to share, however, all of the pastas did lack salt and pepper. The tiramisu was a good choice for the end of the meal. Was I disappointed with the visit? Not at all. Will I be coming back? Probably not.

My friend and I decided to grab dinner here this weekend. We didn't have a reservation, but the hostess assured us we would be seated. It was weird because there wasn't really anywhere to wait and they didn't give us a time estimate. We asked if we could give our number and they said they would just remember us. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes and 2 parties that got there after us were seated first. It was all a bit strange. Once we were seated, we had a good experience! The server took a second to come over but the food came quick when we ordered. We split the tris signature dish for 2. It is gnocchi with 3 different sauces: pesto, four cheese, and sorentina. I thought it was good, but I have had better gnocchi in the city. I thought the pesto and four cheese sauces both needed some more seasoning, but I loved the sorentina sauce! I am happy I tried this spot after seeing it on social media for so many years, but I definitely wouldn't rush back.

Learned of the spot through some hype online and the idea of trying a few sauces with a singularly specialized pasta, but after trying it, I think it's more hype than substance. The gnocchi itself is great. It was perfectly cooked, homemade and quite tasty. The sauces, however, weren't. The four cheese sauce taste like one cheese plus cream. The pomodoro was decent but nothing special. The pesto was not good. It was quite garlicky. There's plenty of other great Italian restaurants in the area.

We found this place on Instagram- it looked AMAZING so naturally we had to try it when we were visiting in NYC. You know it's going to be good when you walk into this hole in the wall restaurant and you start salivating from all of the GLORIOUS smells! We had a reservation (thanks Open Table!), and were seated right away. Our server did a fantastic job answering our 1M questions as we had their IG page open and comparing it to the menu! We ended up with the tagliatelle bolognese, the 4 gnocchi sampler with burrata, and the meatballs. That was just enough food for two adults and two kids (7-9) to have just a little room for dessert! The gnocchi sampler was phenomenal. I'm pretty sure the pomodoro was my favorite but it was so hard to choose as they were ALL chefs kiss! As I mentioned we had room for dessert, so we had a cheese cake, a chocolate cake, a Tiramisu and a chocolate gelato. I tasted them all but the tiramisu was 10/10 (and obviously my favorite)! The layers were evenly distributed and the lady fingers had the perfect amount of soak! So worth every penny! Our pictures don't do these amazing dishes justice but trust me when I say, run- don't walk! You need to try it allllll!

Ciro made our experience absolutely wonderful! We came in very hungry on a Saturday night and he offered great recommendations, attentive and quick service, and was very sensitive and accommodating to my celiac friend's needs. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked, the sauce was incredibly flavorful and the wine was excellently paired. We had a fantastic dinner here and will absolutely be back!

Super cute and cozy gnocchi place in East Village with generous portions! We made a reservation for 12 PM, and despite getting there a little late, we were seated right away. Staff were very friendly and service was pretty quick. We ordered their trio gnocchi, which was more than enough food for 2 people. I expected to like the sorentina (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil) most, but I feel like it could've used more sauce. Potato gnocchi texture was sooo yummy, a perfect amount of softness and tension for that springy chew. I think my favorite was the pesto, but my partner's was the quattro formaggi (very cheesy!). This was walkable from the subway and was decently close/walkable to places like Chinatown and Little Italy for a nice stroll after. Would recommend and would come back!!

So fresh and delicious. The vodka sauce was excellent. Both the fried and "regular" gnocchi were great.

Though it is small, It is a very attentive restaurant. They offer an array of different types of sauces to accompany the gnocchi that they have at the restaurant. I honestly wish that I tried another style since everyone at our table tried the same homemade style gnocchi, and I think the fried gnocchi would have been good as well. The rest of the experience was well rounded in the ways that the server was kind and the waiters were attentive.

Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4/5 We made a reservation for 3, but we really did not need one for a Friday evening. Tables are a bit squished inside, but because there were not too many people, it was ok. We ordered the tris signature dish for two (pesto, quattro formaggi, sorentina) and the amatriciana with spinach gnocchi. I really like the amatriciana and the ability to choose different flavors (and colors) of the gnocchi. I think it made for a greater experience. Gnocchi was well-made and chewy. I did want the gnocchi to have the "fork-rolled" ridges on it, but it was just a rectangular shape.

My fiancé and I went to Gnoccheria as an early anniversary date night. We've been wanting to come here for a while. They offer indoor and outdoor dining; we chose indoor. We went on a weeknight and made reservations beforehand but we probably would've been fine without it. The ambiance is very calm and classy. The wine bottles as decor are very nice. Our waiter was also very nice and helpful. Everything on the menu looked so good! We ordered the truffle gnocchi and trio fried gnocchi to share. They were both amazing. We finished the truffle gnocchi first so I definitely recommend that! The trio fried gnocchi was also nice and all the sauces were good! I'm happy we ordered both because the contrasting textures were nice. We also ordered a bottle of wine that paired very well with our dinner. I would definitely return for the truffle gnocchi. So good!!

If you're into eating rubber bouncy balls, this place is for you. If you're going to focus on one thing, it better be good... the dough is over worked and has WAY too much flour. Sauce seems to be out of a bag. Disappointing to say the least.

I've been seeing pictures and videos of this restaurant on Instagram for awhile now and was so excited to try it on my recent trip to New York. It did not disappoint. The four different types of gnocchi were amazing. The burratta in the middle was delicious. Our waiter was friendly and informative. The restaurant is a little small but cozy. I can't wait to go back.

Service was quite quick if it's not busy. Kinda expected. However, once they serve you, you're taken care of. Staff was friendly. Ambiance was nice. Try to get a reservation and sit inside. We got calamari and gnocchi trio. Excellent.

When I walked up the outside was a bit unimpressive. When we entered we were pleasantly surprised by its cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the 4 Gnocchi and Burrata special. We also got a plate of bread. All I can say is amazing. some of the best gnocchi I've had. The 4 sauces were delicious. The servers were on top of things and we really enjoyed it. Drove over 2 hours from S. Jersey to go here. Not disappointed.

Small cute spot in the east village serving fresh gnocchi with a variety of sauces. Ordered the Purple Potato gnocchi with Quattro Formaggi (four cheese) sauce and it was delish! The gnocchi itself feels authentic, and is soft and pillowy. The sauce was thick, cheesy, and comforting. It's a decent sized portion too. For drinks, the house wine is the way to go, as it's cheap and they give a very generous pour! I came for dinner on a Friday, and the place was busy, so definitely recommend coming with a reservation. Service is friendly and fast.

Truly great food experience. We had the three gnocchi platter and each sauce was phenomenal. Staff provided excellent service and were helpful explaining differences in the sauces. While pretty small in space, the ambiance was comfortable and simply enjoyable.

Delicious food! We got the trio and devoured it because it was so good. We liked the trio because we couldn't decide on just one sauce. The staff was very friendly and we loved the ambience of the restaurant. This meal was the highlight of our day! We learned about this restaurant from Instagram.

This place knows how to do gnocchi and they have been around long enough doing it! In NYC with all the different options, you have to be GOOD to stay open. Many different options for sauce and a few different gnocchi ingredients with a stuffed option as well. Service was great and the restaurant is quaint. Perfect for date night. We will be back!

I've been wanting to try this place for almost a decade and I finally did and it lived up to the hype. The gnocchi's were cooked perfectly and were light and fluffy. We ordered the gnocchi sampler that included 4 different sauces and burrata. My favorite sauces were the pesto and four cheese but I would love to come back and try the Vodka gnocchi and chicken cutlet. The restaurant was smaller than expected but luckily it wasn't too busy when we went. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive.

Believe the hype! Absolutely awesome gnocchi, go for the trio sampler it doesn't just look good it is delicious. Interior is nice and cozy makes you feel at home. Great service as well!

Cute little place. The pasta was unbelievable & they offer GF gnocchi which I love. We tried the 4 sauces as it was a special but I would go back & order the 3 if they didn't have the same special. Staff was super nice too. Will go back.

Came here with a reservation for 2 people. We were initially sat near the trash - which is fine for new york, but not ideal. We asked to be moved and they let us after another party left. Other than that, the outdoor seating vibe is standard. The service wasn't great. We waited almost 25 minutes to order. We were also told they couldn't do any accommodations/substitutions at the time. I know they're busy but I feel there is a better way that could've been said. I'm not the biggest fan of Gnocchi, but it was okay. We got the 4 gnocchi buratta. I've had better before but this was also good.

The sampler is a great way to experience the gnocchi! Our favorite was definitely the pesto one but the other two were also good. The gnocchi was soft and chewy and simply delicious. Just know that this is not the place for protein lol.

One day when spending way too much time watching delicious food reels on my phone, I stumbled onto one showing a giant plate of amazing looking gnocchi and a big burrata ball on top. My interest was peaked but of course it was in New York. Well then it got in my algorithm and I discovered that Gnoccheria pretty much exclusively offers many types of pasta sauces poured over regular, stuffed, or fried gnocchi. My husband and I decided whenever we get to New York next, we are going. Fast forward to now and we and friends we were visiting finally got to enjoy this treasure of a restaurant in the East Village. Reservations can be easily made online. It's a smaller place, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the outdoor tables as it was a nice night. They also still have some of those constructed outdoor seating areas in the street leftover from Covid. We started with a bottle of white wine and a salad. We knew right away we wanted to order the 4 Gnocchi and Burrata to share. The price of $50 was very reasonable for New York and for sharing. You got gnocchi with 4 different sauce- Sorrentina (tomato sauce) Pesto Genovese (basil pesto), Quattro Formaggi (four cheese), and Burro e Salvia (butter and Sage) topped with fresh Burrata. Additionally, we ordered an additional Gnocchi with a sauce made from Artichokes to have a vegan option for the table. What a beautiful and colorful presentation when it hit the table (and pretty quickly). Each of the four sections was overflowing with perfectly fluffy gnocchi and plentiful sauce. It was SO GOOD! Gnoccheria sticks to what they know best and delivered. It is honestly hard to say which sauce I liked the best as all were good, but I guess the Quattro Formaggi wins for me. I love cheese and the flavor was just very satisfying. But it was nice to have a variety to enjoy. Our table did feel that the size of burrata was a bit small to enjoy with that much gnocchi and would have liked some bread to soak up the sauce. So in an attempt to just order bread and another burrata ball my friend said "can we get another burrata?" To our much surprise of what the waiter thought we wanted and brought us another whole 4 Gnocchi and Burrata entree! We had a brief moment of panic and deciding if should send it back, but then all decided let's be real we all kind of wanted more as it was so good and would enjoy later leftovers. Call us what you want, but we ended up eating that whole second entree and NO REGRETS! If you love gnocchi, you need to try this place. It was a fantastic meal that I am glad my phone helped me learn about.

Popped into this place on a quick trip to NY and was not disappointed! The service was excellent and the food was so so good. We tried the fried gnocchi with truffle special, the tagliatelle with bolognese, and the calamari appetizer. The pasta and gnocchi both had a great soft, but chewy, texture. The sauces were flavorful and rich, and as full as I got, I wanted to keep eating more! The restaurant is on the smaller side with very cozy seating arrangements, but the outdoor dining area is decorated nicely and the servers are very attentive and kind.

I saw this place on Instagram, and as a gnocchi lover, wanted to try when I was in town. I think its a great gimmick- you can essentially build your own gnocchi. But the quality was average. I should have known when I walked in and it was pretty empty. I wouldn't return. The service was fantastic though!

Service- excellent! The waiter was nice and made recommendations when I asked which gnocchi he would recommended. His recommendation was amazing! Food- I never eat lol my food, but I ate everything! Very authentic and flavorful. I didn't purchase any wine, but the wine selection also looked very nice. I ordered the truffle gnocchi with a chicken cutlet. The cutlet didn't have any seasoning, but the gnocchi was bursting with flavor. Overall, I would highly recommend this establishment. I'll be back very soon to try the other options.

I was skeptical to try this place since the majority of the menu is gnocchi and my parents are not big fans of Italian food but it blew us all away! All of our plates of gnocchi were delicious with different sauces, but the best was the carbonara. The owner is the kindest man who is very hard working and made sure everyone in the restaurant was looked after. It was a clean place with fast service. For the price, you cannot beat it in NYC! We already have plans to return.

This is the real deal. Literally searched for a place that had gnocchi as I had a craving. This was it! Service was amazing. Our waiter, Chito, was awesome. He's from Italy and we shared our stories from our visit to Italy. He explained that all the ingredients are sourced from Napoli. Couldn't have asked for a better time. All the ingredients are fresh. Homemade. The lemons for the gelato are also imported from Napoli! I'll be back.. many times. Thank you!!!

I had a great experience here with my niece. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the food was fresh and so good, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!

We saw this place online and decided to give it a try and WOW it did not disappoint! We had the artichoke heart salad, which was very light and lemony. And then the 4 gnocchi with Burrata. It's 100% fresh made gnocchi, based on the texture and taste. The tomato sauce was very yummy, and we LOVED the pesto. This place is definitely worth the hype. Our server was also great & staff was very attentive. 11/10 recommend.

A 10/10 place. I myself am a big gnocchi (and Italian food) fan if you will. I had seen a lot of videos about this place on Instagram and TikTok and decided to try it. People spoke very highly about the place and it was well worth the hype. They only sell gnocchi with a bunch of different sauces. I tried the tris signature dish to sample some of the most popular dishes and boy was it delicious. The service was incredible and the waiters were so friendly and attentive. The restaurant is in such a nice area and I recommend outdoor seating. This is a great place for catching up with a friend or going on a date. Would definitely come back.

the food was disappointing. maybe it's because i came near closing time, but the gnocchi did not taste like potato. i was expecting a potato flavor, but it was bland. the sauces were alright too the pesto was not good (i was so excited for it), the middle cream sauce was the best, and the red sauce just tasted like regular red sauce nothing special. $42 for this plate was not worth it. but i will say that it did fill us up. we had leftovers but it was not good enough for us to take it home.

I had one of the specials, speck gnocchi with light cream sauce (montanara gnocchi). It was delicious and if you love gnocchi, I recommend trying this place!

This place was great with my gluten and dairy allergy!! And I came with someone with no allergies who was able to enjoy her entree with no restrictions. I got the gluten free potato gnocchi with bolognese sauce with no cheese/cream. The server was very nice and helpful in navigating what I could and count have. The gnocchi was delicious! Really enjoyed it and finished all of it. The place itself is cute and has an outdoor seating area in the summer. Will be back

Saw Gnoccheria all over instagram and as a pasta lover, knew I'd have to make the trip. Unfortunately, the food and experience didn't live up to the hype. For starters, avoid this place during the summer - it was so incredibly hot inside and the staff offered to let us keep the menus as fans - which says everything you need to know about the temperature. We split the signature dish - and while the gnocchi was cooked to perfection and texturally incredible, the sauces were nothing special. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad, but they lacked the punch I'd expect from a place where pasta is the only real dish on the menu. I've had far better of each of the sauces elsewhere - but the sorrentino was by far the best of the three.

Visiting New York City from San Diego and my daughter chose the Gnoccheria as where she wanted to go for her 18th birthday dinner. The beauty of Yelp is that you're able to research and pick out places that are recommended by like-minded people and see the trend of reviews. The Gnoccheria did not disappoint and was right on its trend of absolutely delicious reviews! Eduardo was the perfect host after we arrived at just after 3 PM on Martin Luther King Jr. day. The restaurant was empty until we left at 530 PM and another couple came in. My daughter and the six of us enjoyed bruschetta as an appetizer and the burrata mozzarella and prosciutto. Both were outstanding, but the prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer stood out as fresh and one of the best versions of this I had ever tasted. We had a range of gnocchi. Pesto, vodka sauce, three cheese. All outstanding. The gnocchi is made fresh every day, and it tasted like it. The best gnocchi I've ever had in my life, hands-down for sure. It was delicious. The ambiance was pure family Italian goodness. There's a lit up wine wall across the entire restaurant. Recommended? Hell yes.

Such a cute place and incredible service! Came here for lunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy and the music was really nice. The staff is also very attentive and answered any questions we had. We ordered the bruschetta, truffle gnocchi, stuffed mushroom in boscaiola, and stuffed cheese in pesto. All were incredible and the pesto sauce was my favorite. We also received extra bread to dip in the leftover sauce which was a really nice touch. For drinks we got the house red and white (which was really an orange) and both were organic - I personally preferred the red but both were great! We also received a complimentary drink which was such a nice touch! We finished with the tiramisu and panna cotta and both were absolutely amazing and great compliments to each other. Would definitely return!

Heard about the hype about this place on social media so I decided to give it a try. It was a beautiful sunny day so we opted for the outdoor dining. It wasn't busy we we were seated immediately. With haste we ordered a pesto gnocchi and a special of the day truffle gnocchi and a bruschetta. Waited about 25 minutes for the fresh gnocchi to arrive and noticed there was a piece of hair in my pasta. I quickly notified the waiter of the hair and he assured the chef was going to create a fresh one for me. After a few minutes another rolled out onto our table which begs the question if they just removed the hair or had another made quickly. Who knows... We quickly scarfed down the pasta and just left. Nothing remarkable or memorable about the pasta dish to be honest. The flavors were a bit on the bland side but the service was fair.

I was disappointed with the gnocchi here. Definitely had better at other places. My friend and I tried the Ragu Bolognese gnocchi and fried calamari. They were kind of bland, I had to add lots of cheese and red pepper flakes to make it better. Service was fast and the place is nice tho! There's doors that can open up to the outside, would be perfect for a summer date~

We came here for dinner over two years ago and I still think about this place!! I need to come back next time I'm in New York. All the food was so good and the dessert was delicious, I could honestly recommend literally everything on the menu. The service was also great and the staff were all so kind, the restaurant had such a comforting family feel. The truffle gnocchi was so delicious, I'm still dreaming about it and no other truffle-style pastas have topped it for me after this one!

I had a hard time deciding, which means I will be back, because both the Milanese Vodka Gnocchi and Truffle Gnocchi were delicious! Truffle gnocchi is the way to go if you want creamy and rich, and vodka is just a classic pairing. Added the Milanese for some protein! Wish I could have had some wine with the meal to set it all off, but next time I will! Staff was super friendly and attentive! Wouldn't let you pour your own water - very accommodating and kind.

I saw this place and was excited that there was finally a place specializing in gnocchi. I had reservations and ordered the classic potato gnocchi with the ragu bolognese sauce. Both the gnocchi and the sauce were delicious! The only downside was that the service was a little slow. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other sauces!

Small, cozy restaurant with a beautiful wine wall. We made a reservation for 5 on a Saturday night and were seated immediately upon walking in. Service was very attentive though not rushed. Wine list is limited but the unique gnocchi theme of the menu makes up for it with several different types of gnocchi and even more sauce varieties. I tried the Quattro framaggio, pesto, sorrentino sauces with the classic potato gnocchi and the Quattro framaggio was my favorite. Don't skip the tiramisu for dessert!

Great place for gnocchi lovers like myself. Seems to get super busy so might want to make a reservation.

Ok my daughter suggested this place and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for some of the best gnocchi this side of Italy then you have to go here. Atmosphere was great and the service didn't disappoint. Lots of choices to choose from and the taste was even better. Take cash if you can because they do charge more for using your credit/debit card.
