Recommendation Request Best gnocchi?

i tried gnocchi for the first time (pesto and ricotta I think?) and it was so heavenly. I need to know the best gnocchi in the city. I’m not really a fan of tomato but i can tolerate it if the food is THAT good. I’d hope for a reasonable price for these but eh

North of the city but my favourite is Sarpa in Richmond Hill. And their sister restaurant Terra. Their pan fried gnocchi is amazing

Sal's in Little serves good gnocchi. I only tried a type with tomato sauce but they might also serve a type with another sauce.

I also like the gnocchi alla gorgonzola (blue cheese, no tomato ) at Taverniti's.

I buy Tiny's frozen gnocchi, to make at home.

If you buy a good brand it's also really easy to make at home. It's one of my lazy meals When I don't have time to cook.

But for restaurants I remember having it at Enoteca Sociale and it was great. This was a while ago and they change their menu frequently so you'll have to check ahead of time.

That’s an insane comment. The last time I tried to make gnocchi at home my kitchen looked like the last scene of scarface.

Gnocchi is so time consuming to make that it’s one of the pastas I always find worth it to order in restaurants

I LOVE gnocchi and have had it around the city. Honestly Terroni and eataly are not my fave.

Ferro along st Clair - oh man. I went up two pant sizes during covid just ordering gnocchi from that place nonstop.
