[title]For the entire month of April, South Yarra Italian restaurant Cucinetta is bringing back its epic gnocchi dish made with a whopping 29 kinds of cheese. Cucinetta conceived this wild idea a few years ago, and in response to overwhelming demand, the team’s putting it back on the table – but only until April 30! The dish is made in collaboration with dairy geniuses That's Amore Cheese, so you know it’s going to be ooey-gooey heaven.
OK, so what are the cheeses? Here they are: fior di latte, buffalo mozzarella, burrata, scamorza bianca, caciotta, pepper caciotta, chilli caciotta, truffle Caciotta, ricotta delicata, ricotta salata, mascarpone, squacquerone, buffalo bocconcini, buffalo ricotta, buffalo caciotta, smoked buffalo mozzarella, smoked bocconcini, smoked scamorza, smoked caciocavallo, diavoletto, That's Amore's limited-edition 'Secret of the Forest', drunken buffalo, lavato, panettone, panettone with truffle, caciocavallo, bufalotto, blue cheese and formaggio di vacca. Phew... we didn't even know some of these existed!
You may wonder why the dish features 29 kinds of cheese specifically, and we have your answer: the number represents the pint-sized restaurant's 29-square-metre space (also reflected in the 29 wines-by-the-glass list).
The cheese-loaded dish will set you back $36.90 per serve and will be available for both lunch and dinner, available alongside the restaurant's other favourites. Just like when Cucinetta's parmesan cheese wheel special sold out, we suspect this cheesy gnocchi will also fly out the door – so don't miss out and book now.
