Dumpling and Crescentine
The Gnocco Fritto is a light cloud of fried dough, steaming, fragrant, and never greasy.

Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, it is perfect to enjoy with cured meats and cheeses.In Emilia, the same dish takes different names depending on the province of origin: in Modena, it is known as Gnocco Fritto, in Parma as Torta Fritta, and in Bologna as Crescenta Fritta (not to be confused with the crescentine we offer, called tigelle in Modena).A curious detail: despite the Italian grammatical rule requiring the article “lo” before gnocco, in Modena and surrounding areas it is commonly referred to as “il Gnocco Fritto.” This reflects a local linguistic peculiarity that prevails over the official norm.The Crescentine (or Tigelle) and the Gnocco Fritto are served plain, without condiments, in our à la carte menu, leaving you the pleasure of choosing your preferred pairings.
