Sure would. Just put that Italian market next to the bagel store and bakery, and up the block from the diner

Pasta and Provisions Fresh Pasta (http://www.pastaprovisions.com/pasta2.html - broken link)

In addition to noodles, we make our own ravioli using world cuisine flavors, from a Latin American version with smoked chicken and spicy jalapenos to a local sweet potato rendition made seasonally. We offer succulent lobster and crab ravioli, a woodsy wild mushroom version that is great with red wine, and meaty ravioli filled with Italian sausage and cheeses. We also create gnocchi, a plump pasta dumpling made with ricotta cheese that is especially good if cooked and then sautéed in brown butter until crispy.

Anyone know where I can locate fresh gnocchi?
I'd settle for frozen as well.
TIA
You mean gnocchi is NOT a two headed monster? Sounds like one to me

There's a new business idea!

Your northern roots are showing! I would go to my closest Italian Village or Macaroni Grill and talk to the chef. Ask him if you could sub-order from their order, although I'm not sure that perogis are even in their menu. I'm rather picky with my gnocchi...even the ones I had in CT were not as good as the ones I had back in CA...go figure! I am missing potato pancakes and latkes as well.

If you ever want to take out, I had decent gnocci at, ready for this???? Buca de Beppi of all places. Yeah, I know.......cheezy Italian, but the gnocci was good. The gravy was what you'd expect from there, but the gnocci was darn good. They have a coupon on line for eat in and take out if you ever feel like trying it.

Lowe's Foods sometimes has it ( the one at the Promenade on Providence). Look in the case at the end of the frozen foods aisle, with the pasta that they have sent on (I think from NY or NJ??).

Default my fave!

We just pack and load it up by the bags when we go up to Philly and when my parents come down they do the same so luckily we haven't suffered too much without the real stuff! You can also make it yourself...very easy and delicious!
