Gnocchi Me

The Watermelon Gazpacho was phenomenal — literally the most refreshing soup I’ve ever had. The staff is nice and they make the food in front of you — all around delicious meal here!

It took me far too long to check out the Gnocchi Me stand at the NE Farmers Market, but I’m glad I finally did because… gnocchi breakfast hash.
The short rib ragu is their bread and butter, but I decided on the breakfast hash because this girl is powerless against a fried egg. It comes with the semolina gnocchi, vodka sauce, Italian sausage, peppers and a fried egg on top. The portion seems a tad small at first for $ 8, but it’s quite filling and so, so, so delicious.
The owner Tyler is one of the friendliest folks you’ll meet and even gave an arrival time for my food (about 6 – 7 minutes), which allowed me to wander around the market for a little while instead of hovering around the stand drooling.
In addition to the short rib and breakfast hash, they do a couple of other gnocchis (both potato and semolina), polenta and some fresh lemonades. I’ll definitely be back.

Good job! Making gnocchi is not as easy as it seems. Too little flour and they are super soft, difficult to handle and almost impossible to sautee in the pan with sauce. Too much flour and they become doughy and just not tasty. Here at gnocchi me they managed to strike the perfect balance. Gnocchi hold their shape and they taste good.
Also the sauces are great. The short rib ragu’ was wonderful. And the gorgonzola sauce was pretty tasty too! And the plating is beautiful: really restaurant quality.
Looking forward for their truck coming to Minneapolis next spring!

These guys have been coming to the NE Mpls Farmers Market this summer and have been a great addition to the food scene at the market. Love that they have gluten free options short ribs on polenta topped with toasted Parmesan on the top Yum! You gotta check them out!
