48h Pizza E Gnocchi Bar Elsternwick

Was recommended this place by my Italian friend who said this was the best Pizza she had outside of her home town in Napoli. 😯 Well I definitely wasn't disappointed.👌🏼although this place was super busy, the manager created space for sitting inside. The staff were very friendly, and when asked for recommendations, took the time to explain and suggest some good options.🙏🏼 The pizza was indeed delicious. Perfect amount and generous toppings, super thin base with good quality ingredients. 😍You eat it and don't bloat or feel full. The gnocchi was fluffy and soft, the flavours reminded me of a perfectly home cooked meal my mother makes! The dessert was absolutely delicious, freshly made on the spot and just perfect to finish off the dinner. This place is 100% worth the visit. Thank you for a beautiful experience! Grazie!

Used to be a great ITALIAN restaurant and all the staff were ITALIANS and the food was to die for, but tonight we came back and after we placed our order the food and drinks arrived. Something wasn’t right, the Di Parma award winning pizza was tasteless, absolutely tasteless, my Italian wife tasted a slice and agreed, so what has changed?. We looked into the kitchen and saw that the two pizza makers were Indian not Italian and all the staff on the floor except for the manager were Australian not Italian. So we got an Indian pizza not an Italian pizza in an an Italian restaurant. If we go to an Indian restaurant we expect an Indian chef to be in the kitchen because they know how to make amazing Indian food. If I go to an Italian restaurant I expect to see an Italian chef in the kitchen not an Indian. Also why put a plank of wood across the pizza to put the prosciutto on it? Weird.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. I must have walked past the amazing gem hundreds of times, without going in. I decided my birthday was the time for my first visit, and I was not disappointed. The staff, and who I gather are the owners or operators, were exceptionally attentive. I do not often have gnocchi, so it was a real treat eating what is probably the best in Melbourne, if not Australia. The open kitchen also allowed me to see unbelievable pizza after pizza being made. I know what I will be ordering when I visit again. I highly recommend visiting the Gnocchi Bar in Elsternwick!

Pizzas were great and they looked amazing, the crust fantastic. I had the Urieca pizza, was a little bit wet under the bottom center, although beautiful and delicious. Also had an Italian thick chocolate that was not thick at all, just powdered chocolate mixed with water. Staff was not very welcoming or attentive, might have been a busy day. Overall, for pizza lovers, it's definitely worth many visits.

Terrible unkind manager, feel really sorry for the waitress working last night. If you read this - please know you deserve to be spoken to better than that and don't put up with arrogant men power tripping and unreasonably telling you off! My partner and I came for dinner last night (7/7/22) and had a lovely waitress. She came outside and saw that the heater was positioned so it was burning a hole through the umbrella above. She immediately rectified the issue and moved it out of the way as it was causing a hazard. The manager came out, started telling off my partner and I for moving it (what?) and then started having a go at her in front of us and other customers. It was uncomfortable for the whole restaurant. This poor girl tried to defend herself and he rudely cut her off and kept going. She did the right thing! It was no way for a boss to treat their staff member. It was really horrible to watch and we felt so icky so we didn't order anything more and left.
