Hello Italian food lovers! A little question, what do you do when you ran out of pasta or perhaps an alternative to it? Simple, pizzas or just delve into other cuisines, we are never short of choices for sure. Conversely, in Italy, gnocchi are celebrated similarly to pasta, a true comfort dish. Rather pronounced as “Nyoo-kee”, dough made from potatoes and flour are cut into small pieces, about the size of a cork and then pressed with a fork to form ridges. It’s then dunked into a sauce of your choice, commonly tomato or cream takes charge. Don’t need to travel all the way to Italy, using your palate as passport, these renowned restaurants in Penang transport you to Italy with each mouthful.

The Eighty Eight Restaurant
Tomato and cream sauce usually tops the listing to cuddle Gnocchi in a bowl, yet The Eighty Eight Restaurant sets them apart with pesto sauce. Plump and poofy potato morsels are generously ladled with wild mushroom, basil pesto and a sprinkle of pine nuts. The sauce is stellar of the dish, earthy, rich and complements the soft gnocchi. Enjoy delving into the green ocean of goodness in a comfort and charming ambiance.

IL Bacaro
Fronting the façade of Campbell House is IL Bacaro, an authentic Italian restaurant dishing out a scrumptious spread of hearty and toothsome meals. The ambiance is a marriage of heritage preservation and modern improvisation, the best you could ask for while chomping down, pizzas and pasta. Never miss their homemade Gnocchi with Duck Bolognese, the essence of duck binds favorably with the soft little pearls. Looking for something classic and cheesy? You can opt for their Blue Cheese and Walnut version too, equally praiseworthy.
