29-Cheese Gnocchi at Cucinetta
Melbourne just can't get enough of this special — this is the dish's eighth appearance, driven by insanely high popular demand.
Overview
If there's one way to get cosy this April, it's with a steaming bowl of 29-cheese gnocchi inside Cucinetta's 29-square-metre space. This is the dish's eighth appearance, driven by insanely high popular demand.
The name is no misnomer. There truly, really, are no fewer than 29 cheeses in the 29-cheese gnocchi. We can't list them all here. But we can tell you they include burrata, truffle caciotta, ricotta delicata, smoked bocconcini... and another 25.
In case you're wondering where all the cheese is coming from, you should know Cucinetta's not-so-secret source is That's Amore Cheese. Founded by Sicilian-born Giorgio Linguanti in 2008, it now supplies restaurants across Melbourne and has won tons of awards.
29-cheese gnocchi is on the menu every day in April for lunch and dinner, alongside the rest of Cucinetta's dishes. Be sure to book soon – when we last saw it in September last year, tables were pretty hard to get.
