Ordering anything but pasta at an Italian restaurant feels like ordering the chicken fingers at a seafood shack (at least to my, rather biased, American view of Italian fare). So, when I saw not one, but two, gnocchi dishes on the menu at La Scala, I knew what I would be consuming within moments of lifting the menu. I chose the gnocchi with a pink tomato sauce and decided to add shrimp for some protein with my starches. The sauce was a lovely light pink color with mild flavors that clung to the gnocchi perfectly without being sticky or dry. The gnocchi was tender and well-cooked with a delightful potato center. The medium sized shrimp was also cooked very well-easy to bite and holding their shape (not curled up). Overall, the dish was a good, tasty gnocchi dish exactly as expected. There were no unique flavors or ingredients but the portion was large enough to save for later (if you were so inclined). -AC
