Gnoc, Gnoc, Gnocchi On Heaven’s Door: 5 of London’s Best Gnocchi Restaurants
Gnocci, that potatoe-y, pasta-y, tasty bite, enjoyed in a sauce just-a-like-a-mama-used-to-make-it and sold for your delectation across London is one of everyone’s favourite foods. So delicious it should be a food group of its own, the spuddy dumplings are one of the best things that ever happened in the history of ever, so here’s all the places we disappear every time we need a hit of its starchy goodness.
San Carlo Cicchetti
San Carlo Cinccetti; it’s pronounced chi-KET-tee, they’re keen for you to know, but they’re also keen for you to try their gnocchi, because it’s pretty darn good. Currently served as a gnocco fritto (sort of dough sticks), along with prosciutto San Daniele, or else in the form of gnocchi gorgonzola, served in a baked Parmesan basket. With its marble countertop and tables, the Piccadilly restaurant oozes Italian style, making it well worth a visit, if you can beat away the tourists that is.

Locanda Locatelli
Marylebone’s Locanda Locatelli has a Michelin star to tell us how good their gnocchi’s going to be. The smart Italian serve the delicacy with wild fennel, red mullet, tomato and black olives, and it’s only one of the many reasons to visit. The decor is supremely elegant, and the cooking is just as exquisite as you’d expect.
