Sweet tiramisù and pistachio are also available. Stuffed gnocchi have fillings like mortadella with pistachio. All are sold to take away. A window in the rear of the store provides a view of the chefs heating gnocchi and sauce for eating at tables outside or on the run. Fancy Italian packaged foods, including sauces, are displayed on shelves.
