Gnocco
Description
Just off Tompkins Square Park in Alphabet City, this homey restaurant, garden café, and wine bar provides authentic Italian fare in a setting that fuses the rustic and the traditional with a cool East Village flair. Be sure to start with an order of gnocco—the savory house specialty of fried dough and cured meats that serves as the restaurant’s namesake. For your primi and secondi, enjoy classic red-sauce pastas and hearty meats and seafood, or choose from over a dozen varieties of gourmet pizza. Gnocco also offers free internet co-working space every weekday from 11am to 6pm.
