Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers, Clayfield — Restaurant in Brisbane City

This business has changed hands from the original owners who were a lovely couple..

I phoned to order, it was answered by an AI. When I requested to speak to a person, it sent me to a voice mailbox instead. That was almost enough to put me off ordering in total. When I turned up to order, the person serving had trouble understanding what I was saying and needed to ask other staff member to find the "seafood feast" I'd seen online. 9mins from ordering to being packed and in my hands. Gnocchi only takes 2-4min to cook in boiling water. Everything here is probably coming out of the freezer.

The calamari was tender and resembled product I have eaten elsewhere suggesting its bought in bulk, already coated, not coated fresh for order. Tasty enough but not worth $10 for the portion size.

Large pieces of fish (fillet size was way smaller than local fresh Barramundi) with a huge twist of cracked pepper, crispy pan fried, on top of a bed of gnocchi but no evidence of lobster in the sauce as mentioned on the menu. Not a fresh product. Potato Gnocchi was well cooked and there's plenty of flavour in the marinara sauce. Maybe a bit too much pepper as it has overpowered my palette after finishing the mains. Good thing there's a sweet ricotta cannolo to finish. This was  creamy crumbly pastry but once again, not a fresh product. It's OK. This chain of restaurants might give you an idea of what gnocchi is like but fails in comparison to real fresh made gnocchi in a good Italian restaurant where it its made daily and real stocks incorporated...

The 3 of us had gnocchi and all meals were really tasty, especially the barra & gnocchi in seafood sauce. The meals are rather large but we did our best, the other was a lamb shank & gnocchi and the meat was very tender, the sauce very good. Two of us received complimentary glass of red wine which was a nice touch. The san pelligrino blood orange was welcome on a very hot & humid day. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I took off two stars for atmosphere just because it was uncomfortably hot & humid & the outside seating has no fans (I realise they haven't been open long), so hopefully eventually a couple will be installed for summer. Inside isn't all that attractive, feels like a place to wait for the take away, not to sit, relax & enjoy a meal. All in all, a really delicious meal and somewhere we would definitely order a take away from in the future. Perhaps at night dining in would be cooler. Under cover...

Pleasantly surprised with this local gem. Headed here on a spontaneous adventure with my partner instead of our usual meal next door at the sushi train. Incredibly friendly man greeted us as we browsed the menu and he stated the there were some awesome specials especially on a dine in. He was kind and gave us space to decide, it was so nice to not feel pressured. Honestly some of the best service I’ve had in a while. Upon opening our arancini we were in love! Best arancini both of us have had in years! The gnocchi was good. Our taste prefers a bit more cheese so we were extremely thankful that the kind server packed in a little extra cheese on the side. Highly recommend getting take away from this store and keen to return as a dine...
