House-Made Gnocchi at Vincenzo
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana serves house-made gnocchi, featherlight potato gnocchi made fresh daily, at $30 on International Drive near ICON Park. With 4,000+ guest reviews, this is pasta worth the trip.
The gnocchi at Vincenzo is made from potatoes, flour, and egg the traditional Italian way. Each piece is featherlight and pillowy, with a delicate texture that melts on the palate. This is not the dense, gummy gnocchi that comes from a freezer bag at chain restaurants. It is the kind of gnocchi that takes skill and patience to get right, and Vincenzo's kitchen has been perfecting it for over thirty years.
How Vincenzo Makes Gnocchi
Making great gnocchi is about restraint. The potatoes are baked until tender, then riced while still warm. A light touch of flour and egg binds the dough without making it heavy. The dough is rolled and cut by hand, then each piece is gently shaped. Every batch is made fresh daily in the kitchen on International Drive. Nothing is pre-made. Nothing is stored overnight.
The difference between house-made gnocchi and the frozen version is immediately obvious. Fresh gnocchi has a pillowy softness that yields to the fork. It absorbs sauce without becoming heavy. It has a clean potato flavor that comes through in every bite.
What to Pair With Gnocchi
Gnocchi pairs well with both white and red wines depending on the sauce. A crisp Pinot Grigio or Vermentino complements lighter preparations. A Chianti or Barbera adds depth alongside heartier sauces. Start with bruschetta or burrata, enjoy the gnocchi with a glass from Vincenzo's curated Italian wine list, and finish with tiramisu or panna cotta.
