About What? Gnocchi!
Found at the The Wood area, What? Gnocchi! is an Italian restaurant that has become part of the The Wood dining scene. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.
Diners come here for Italian food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as arancini. It is one of 6 Italian venues we list in Nelson. The menu also crosses into vegan territory.
What? Gnocchi! opens 5 days a week and is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The earliest start is noon on Mondays, and the latest finish is 8 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 26 hours each week.
On the practical side, the listing notes wheelchair accessible, vegan options and gluten-free options. For budgeting, Italian restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
