Georgie x Maybe Sammy: Francesca Gnocchi Pop-Up Bar
Tuck into steaming bowls of pillowy gnocchi while sipping imaginative takes on classic Italian cocktails.
Overview
For one week only, Georgie Wine Bar is teaming up with Maybe Sammy to present Francesca: a gnocchi pop-up bar that's bringing a taste of New York's Little Italy to the Sydney CBD. Happening as part of Maybe Cocktail Festival, this event will combine steaming bowls of fluffy gnocchi with imaginative Italian-inspired cocktails.
Four indulgent gnocchi varieties are on the menu, all inspired by New York's legendary Italian dining scene and named for cult 1980s flick Bianco, Rosso e Verdone. Cheese lovers should go for the creamy Bianco, while those who can't go past a traditional tomato sugo can tuck into the Rosso. Then there's the Verdone, made with fresh green pesto. Can't decide? Opt for the Tricolore, which gives you a little of all three. The menu also includes a selection of classic Italian starters and desserts.
To match these pillowy creations, Maybe Sammy has come up with a cocktail list of Italian classics with a twist. Think: reimagined takes on a bloody mary, garibaldi, bellini and more. Can't stick around for long? You can pop in for a plate of gnocchi and beer, wine or soft drink of your choice for $18, plus there's a grab-and-go window for gnocchi al desko.
To get Georgie ready for Francesca's takeover, she's undergone a bit of a makeover. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel like you've been whisked away to Little Italy via red-and-white tablecloths, piles of chilli, and artworks featuring Mutti tins.
