Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers, Maroochydore

Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers is a dedicated Italian restaurant in Emporio Place, Maroochydore, and the group’s first location on the Sunshine Coast. Its menu centres on fresh Italian gnocchi, with a broad selection of sauces and styles ranging from traditional beef Bolognese and creamy basil pesto to pork and fennel sausage, carbonara, puttanesca and wild mushroom with truffle sauce.
