Too funny... yes, yes, please call Babbo and then post another irate message here when they tell you that they don't do takeout....

Emilio - we are in DC for the weekend, but I will pass your complement on to MLV. I don't know what her secrets are.

And make sure to ask for "the best ga-noki" they have. That's a super secret Italian saying: trust me they'll help you out.

You need to page Mona Lisa Vito on this one as she made, by far, the best gnocchi I've ever had and I've eaten quite a few.

Wow. That's quite a compliment. Thank you! You can come for dinner any time you'd like!

Honestly, I wish I could remember what I made! I think it was with mushrooms, right? In that case, I sauteed many different kinds of 'shrooms (fresh ****ake, crimini, button and some dried porcini) with a bit of olive oil and added parsley and plenty of salt and pepper (parsley and salt are the key here). Can also add either goat cheese or a blue cheese.

I have used the packaged gnocci with lots of success, but the timing of this thread is funny as I was just saying to JC (after AMAZING gnocchi at Antonia's in KW) "you know, I really need to learn to make my own". It just seems like a lot of trouble.

They were with mushrooms and goat cheese, they were exceptional! We just might have to take you up on your dinner any time

We do need to have you and JC over soon, I will send you an e-mail in the next few days and maybe we can arrange a day.
