Good Gnocchi

The Verdict

If you’ve been scouring Collingwood for a primo lunch spot that isn’t a typical cafe sandwich, read on. Good Gnocchi is a hole-in-the-wall, no-frills gnocchi heaven you didn’t even know you needed. 

Don’t expect a sit-down situation at Good Gnocchi—there’s a takeaway window from which owner James Eddy will sling foil containers of gnocchi at you and that’s about it. But with ooey-gooey, lip-smacking cheesy gobs of the best pillowy treats, you’ll never want to head back to work from your lunch break anyway.

The menu is pretty straightforward, so there will be no hand-wringing or flip-flopping between a million possible options because there are only five: there’s bolognese, tomato sauce, walnut pesto, butter sage, and vegan pumpkin gnocchi. The end. If you’re really hungry, you can complement your gnocchi with some garlic bread or just more gnocchi. No one’s judging.

All gnocchi servings are $15 a pop, which is totally worth the comforting warmth and gooeyness of a nice takeaway container of gnocchi on a cold winter’s day. Good Gnocchi is open Tuesday until Saturday from 11:30 am until 9 pm, so grab a container at lunch or on the way home and enjoy.
