This past Tuesday night was a friend's birthday so that meant dinner out. We headed to 3rd and Passyunk (just near South Street as Passyunk runs diagonally) and went to her choice - Gnocchi. Of course, when in Gnocchi, I ate gnocchis. (Does one pluralize this word? Does a person eat gnocchi or gnocchis?)
The restaurant has been around for awhile and my friend had been there before for the "best gnocchis (she's) ever had." They were good; apparently they're homemade daily. Mine came with a light red sauce and beets. May sound strange but it was very good. Each gnocchi was small and had good texture.
Gnocchi doesn't seem to have its own website. I know that because I wanted to check out the menu before we went but I couldn't find the restaurant's site so I had to use menupages.com. I also read some reviews on yelp.com. There were definitely some unfavorable ones. Several concerns were regarding various aspects of service. My party and a party of two were the only patrons during the time we ordered. The meals took extraordinarily long to come out. I can't imagine what it would be like on a Saturday night, unless the kitchen has a lot more help.
I recommend Gnocchi if you're in the Queen Village section of Philly. Of course, try the gnocchis...on a weeknight.
