Hearth has good gnocchi as does Lupa. On a bit of a lower price point, I agree with Max and would also add Frank (2nd Ave/5th St). Isn't most gnocchi meatless?

I would second Frank's. I had a mediocre pasta dish (though not gnocchi) at Max's recently. Perhaps Frank's is more consistant? Just wondering. I like them both.

I had the stinging nettle gnocchi a couple of months ago at Cacio e Pepe. Not sure what your range is, but the dish was $14.00 and it was delicious.

I agree. It's one of my favorite dishes ever.

Hearth has a great version, simply prepared.
For a more decadent gnocchi, Il Bagatto has some heavily ladened with a gorgonzola sauce. Frank's gorgonzola and spinach is less heavy. To be honest, while it's great comfort food in the winter, I really can't imagine tucking into a plate in the NYC heat...

Apizz's dish was wonderful, but it came w/a meat ragu.
I agree w/the recs below for cacio e pepe.

If you like your gnocchi in gorgonzola, I would highly recommend Bianca, especially if you like your gorgonzola sharp. Da Andrea and Valdino West are also very good with a milder sauce. All these places are inexpensive and the gnocchi is homemeade.

Max's gnocchis, like the actualy item were great, fresh and all charmingly irregular. The sauce tasted like Spaghetti-O's. I don't think they use much butter or olive oil either.

i had an amazing dish of gnocchi at peasant a while back. it had pumpkin and wild mushrooms. probably more expensive than max's $9, but incredibly good and worth every penny (not to mention every calorie).

Yes, I was looking for calories, fat, flavor and I walked out of Max's pouting.

Has anyone seen gnocchi alla sorrentina in the city?
