The Italian practice takes place on the 29th of each month
In Italy, money in your pocket and gnocchi have everything in common. The “lucky gnocchi” have different versions of its origin, in all of them a saint, who was on a pilgrimage, stopped hungry at the house of a humble family, who offered him a modest meal: gnocchi. Very grateful, the saint promises luck to those who prepare this delicious fresh pasta every 29th of every month.
True or not, it doesn’t hurt to give your luck a little push by reserving one lunch or dinner a month to consume the blessed dish, right? To help you find the best dumplings of the day, we have selected five restaurants, which offer different versions.
Modern Mamma Osteria
One of the most diverse on the list, Modern Mamma Osteria offers a delicious gnocchi starter, the golden gnocchi – deep-fried, stuffed with veal and served with a separate gravy sauce to “suck it up”. Furthermore, there are also large potato gnocchi, offered as a main course, filled with sautéed mushrooms au gratin and sweet gorgonzola cream (R$ 79).
