Wish I could’ve eaten everything on the menu! The oysters were magnificently cooked in a delicious sauce. The octopus was so tasty! Never would think that I would eat it and it was excellent! The squid ink gnocchi was fantastic! Desserts were mind blowing. Not to mention the service and personal attention was stellar. They made us feel special and comfortable on our anniversary. In a place where you read the menu and are a bit intimidated, the staff was so gracious, helpful, and kind! Loved every minute!
I can't say enough good things about Gnocco. The food is absolutely fabulous, the staff is beyond accommodating, and the ambience is just to die for. If you're looking for an amazing night out with friends, I highly, highly recommend Gnocco. I can't wait to go back!
Thank you for an absolutely amazing birthday dinner <3
Very exciting menu. We tried the grilled octopus, tuna crudo, beef tartar, and a TONGUE of some sort. Definitely a foodies type of place to eat. If you are adventurous and trusting in a chef its a great place for you. Picky eaters beware! Dont leave without trying a gnocchi .. after all thats how they got the name right!? I had the wild mushroom gnocchi and it was by far my favorite thing I tried. Good wine and cocktail selection and good service. Quiet on a Friday night perfect for a romantic dinner.
This place has prosecco on tap, wich is really cool. Is located in a corner and it's a very cozy and romantic place. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the food portion was a bit on the small side witch make you crave for more. We will definitely be back. Also the desserts were yummy 😍😋
Such a quaint, cute, well appointed place. The menu was small, but changes often. I had the wild boar tagliatelle which was out of this world good. I should have ordered more so I could have taken some home. I also ordered the grilled mushroom salad which showcased a piece of delicious mozzarella cheese. The Apple cider drink was also to die for. Go here, don't walk but run to Gnocco! Reservations are probably a good idea.

My son observed, "I've noticed that the nicer the restaurant, the shorter the menu." Brilliant observation- you won't see a Sysco truck unloading at this place, nor do they cede valuable kitchen space to a walk-in freezer. Everything is fresh and handmade, no mistaking. Warm ambiance, and welcoming staff. The entrance is through the bar area, but the separate dining room is isolated enough to be intimate. Expect to be tempted by the large selection of lovingly prepared and beautifully presented small plates. On our recent visit, there were only 2 "large" plates, for those who won't feel satisfied without a traditional entree. There were just 4 pasta dishes as well, each a small but perfectly crafted portion. Staff was quite happy to whip up a plain off-menu spaghetti for my daughter, but I was happy to find she still enjoyed handmade, fresh pasta. Really great place for a special occasion (we visited on my birthday) but I'm going to look for an excuse to visit for a happy hour beverage or two, noshing on a couple of the small plates.
This is my favorite restaurant for date nights and family birthdays, basically any excuse I can think of to go downtown. The food and cocktails have always exceeded my expectations. We always start with the grilled octopus and end with the ricotta donuts, every single time. The staff, especially the bartender, always makes you feel like a welcomed guest! I can't think of any negatives about my experiences, can't wait for my next meal!!
We arrived early to service so were the only ones in the restaurant. Great service and even better food. We'd been when the place first opened and thought the portions were small for the price. This visit was different and better. The prices are mid range and the portion size appropriate. Cocktails were also good. Well go again as there were several dishes we want to try.
Weird location, but the food was incredible. For appetizers we got the octopus (amazing), crudo, pork belly and tartare (generous portion). The pasta entrees are phenomenal. Pastas are made in house and have the perfect texture. We all got the full size portions and didn't leave a single bite on the plates. Everything was perfect down to the desserts and cappuccinos.
Small building. Would recommend larger parties to take the high tops by the bar bc the tables in the back are fairly small. Cocktails are good. Fairly priced for the quality of the food and drinks. Service was great!
Highly recommend! Will be returning in the future.
Small place, but fantastic food and service! Had apple ravioli with short rib as an entree and crispy stuffed olives, burrata, and pork belly appetizers. I thought everything was great. It was half priced bottles of wines when I stopped in on a Wednesday. Would definitely return.
It has the WOW factor. New to the area, happened in with very little knowledge in f the place and we were SO pleased. Wonderful, cozy atmosphere with beautiful background music. There service was wonderful, the food was spectacular. We had several appetizers and each was special...creative, delicious...we will be back. Quiet...great for conversation or a romantic dinner. We travel a lot and dine out often...Gnocco is special.
I have eaten at Gnocco at least 3 times now. I usually don't try the same restaurant twice. Every single time the experience has been phenomenal. The consistency of quality as well as creativity is unparalleled. This is the perfect neighborhood spot. Great for dinner, brunch, or even just cocktails. Gnocco is hands down my new favorite restaurant in Baltimore. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go now!!
