Il like Como Como, Il Pescatore ( ileana ) and if you wat home made italian, and VERY well priced, go to CENTRO ITALIANO just off tenth and with 26th; it served brekkie ( nuthin special) and lunch until 4-5 pm. Laura, the cook, is italian and one of the best cooks in playa, in my advice.

she changes menu every day, cooks everything herself ( hand made ravioli, pasta, etc etc) and does only pure, real italian dishes just like you would eat in italy

the prices are packages, for lunch you can have the equivalent of
" comida corrida" for 80 pesos: salad and bruschetta as starter, one main dish ( can be pasta or meat, ALL delicious) and a small bottle of water. I'm not sure if coffee is included, but its 15 pesos for the espresso, a good price

Its a really good deal and really good food, if you like home made italian

La Cueva del Chango, Calle 38 on the right as you head towards the beach. YUM!

Forgot to mention Chez Celine, awesome croissants.

[Fieldsy]

lol, don't know if you are messing with me or not

Some people in the USA don't even know what it is, that is why I asked

[bigdogmom]

I had gnocchi with a very rich cheese sauce al Da Ileana il Pescatore; corner of 10th and 24 Norte. But that was a couple of years ago.

Gnocchi may be on the list for dinner one night

Yes - when walking north, go a little past the intersection of 38th and it's on the right side. Baremar next to it and Como Como across the street. It's a small storefront, easy to miss.

I've had gnocchi at Bruno's on the corner of 5th and 12th and while I wouldn't by any means say this is a great restaurant, the gnocchi is quite good and a HUGE portion. Plus the location is great for people watching.

Gnocchi is my favorite thing in the world and the best I have ever had was at UTIL. I think someone posted the address in an earlier thread.

[Anna Banana]
