Gnocco is celebrating 25 years in business at 337 E. 10th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.
Owner Gian Luca Giovanetti (above) started serving Northern Italian comfort food in this space in July 2000.
The native of Modena, Italy, previously owned family restaurants and bars there before relocating to NYC. Longtime East Village residents will likely recall his other neighborhood establishments, including Cafe Pick Me Up on the NW corner of Avenue A and Ninth Street, and Perbacco on Fourth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.
Giovanetti said that Gnocco has always been about more than meals. "It's about moments that mark joy, offer comfort, and bring people together," he said.
I stopped by the other day, just before dinner service started...
Open daily... Monday-Thursday noon to 10 p.m.; noon to 11 p.m. on Friday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.
