Going to Gnocchi is always a fantastic experience. This visit we were celebrating my mom’s birthday with her two grandkids. They expertly handled having two kids and even managed to make my mom’s birthday extra special with their delicious panna cotta. The food is excellent. The Bolognese is like my grandmom used to make it. And the bites I had of the special mushroom gnocchi was excellent. Special thanks for the chef for accommodating a dairy allergy which I know is especially difficult with Italian cuisine. We will be back soon!

My father and I came back last Saturday night for another father-daughter dinner date night. Lilly was our waitress, she was very sweet. For drinks, Dad and I each had soda. For an appetizer, we ordered the Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings served in a light chili sauce drizzle. They are always our favorite, and they disappeared in seconds! For the main course, I ordered my favorite, the Beef With Broccoli, which had beef, ginger-garlic aromatics, green onions, and steamed broccoli, served in a soy sauce over white rice, with extra white rice on the side. It was yummy, as always! Dad ordered the Sesame Chicken, another favorite of ours. It had chicken, bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and it was served in sesame sauce and sesame seeds on top, with white rice. It was so good, Dad ate the whole thing! For dessert, we ordered the Great Wall Of Chocolate, our favorite chocolate cake! It has six layers of chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. It is a HUGE slice of cake, so make sure you share! Victor, the general manager, was very nice, and he made sure that everything was okay, and an assistant manager, also came by to our table to clean it before we sat down to have our meal. Thank you P.F. Chang's for another excellent meal! We'll be back again soon!
