Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, a true Café Terroni classic and just right for today. Pillowy house-made gnocchi in a rich Napoli sauce, finished with Mozzarella and baked until golden.
You won’t find it on the current menu, but our regulars know it’s always available on request ~ just ask.
Weekend ahead. See you in the village tonight.
