Pasta comes in all shapes and sizes, and gnocchi is the perfect representation of that. These small Italian-style dumplings are often called potato dumplings, as the traditional gnocchi consists of potatoes, flour and eggs. However, like most regions in Italy and some restaurants in Toronto, there are always variations when it comes to the composition of these soft and pillowy pockets of goodness. Paired with a flavourful sauce such as a classic tomato sauce or a rich cream sauce, gnocchi is sure to satisfy any of your pasta cravings.
Here are our picks for some of the best gnocchi in Toronto.
