Best Gnocchi In Toronto

See All Lists
I am obsessed with gnocchi. Making my own from scratch, from a vacuum-sealed package, and ordering it at restaurants. Essentially I'll order it any time it's on a restaurant menu provided it's not something icky like spinach gnocchi. Here's my ranked list of Toronto's absolute best gnocchi.

 1. Passione Italiana Ristorante

La Passione Italiana's gnocchi pomodoro with pink sauce ranks as my #1 favourite gnocchi in Toronto. It is absolutely UNMATCHED in quality and taste. Super creamy tomato sauce and very tender gnocchi that's always cooked to perfection.

It didn't occur to me until recently that this place takes reservations, and at busy times I'd highly recommend one. It's not unlikely that you'll spot some of Toronto's sports glitterati while you're at Dimmi (I've seen both Tie Domi and Andrea…More »

Still my favourite, and consistently wonderful. All of the servers look happy to be working there. Try to get Josh, the dude that looks like a cuter David Arquette, as your server. He's the best of the best.

Yes it's true - they don't take reservations and won't allow ANY substitutions on the menu, but Terroni has to be doing something right because they regularly have a lineup out the door, the kitchen and bar are always bustling with activity, all of…More »

A little bit of background: yes, this is still Susur Lee's restaurant. Although he's moved to New York to concentrate on his new restaurant Shang (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), Madeline's is still affiliated with Susur Lee (it's named after his mom!).…More »
