An unprecedented recognition "it's like winning a medal at the Olympics" Gallarate. The right dessert for Easter according to the New York Times? Amaretti di Gallarate, of course. The pink box of "Pasticceria Fratelli Gnocchi" is celebrated in the columns of the most prestigious newspaper in the world. "It's like a medal at the Olympics" admits Massimo Gnocchi, the heir to a dynasty of taste that has been crossing continents for a few years with successes and recognitions. The latest is a real gem to tell posterity: a review by Florence Fabricant, the columnist of the "Dining and Wine" section of the NYT, an institution in terms of food criticism. The advice for Easter is Amaretti, "the very fragrant and handmade ones from Gallarate" Thursday 4 February 2021

Here is a new "good" review on our amaretti di gallarate. thanks to gastronauta Wednesday, May 15, 2019

With this very "artisanal" video (just like our panettoni....) I tease you with the idea of a truly top-notch Christmas. Intended as desserts! Monday, December 12, 2016

available in our shop. We produce them strictly with sourdough and in the classic format, that is with candied fruit and raisins, or with drops of the finest dark chocolate. Our exquisite Amaretti di Gallarate are, as always, baked every day to always be perfect. Our line of pralines is now as complete as the Christmas chocolate objects. Reservations, to avoid the risk of not finding what you are looking for, are always recommended! Thank you for your collaboration. We look forward to seeing you! Wednesday, November 23, 2016

Easter is coming, a time for chocolate, Colombe with sourdough and all the goodness that there is like our Easter eggs in various shades of dark chocolate. We always repeat, the Amaretti di Gallarate are available every day and for everything, however, a reservation is always welcome. Freshness is our way and a call helps you find what you want! Always. Tuesday 23 February 2016

Strictly fried in oil that we change with high frequency - the baked Chiacchiere are modern "mythology" - their lightness and fragrance will strike you. As always, you will find our exquisite Amaretti di Gallarate daily for which we have recently added a new size of 0.350 kg box. Since Valentine's Day this year will arrive at the end of the carnival week, we would be grateful if you booked your dessert as much as possible to share with your soulmate. Making you happy with what you desire is a source of great satisfaction for us. Thank you! Tuesday 12 January 2016

It can't. If it did, it would mean that many things are not "fresh" or, worse, are not handcrafted. What is this to say? To say thank you to all the customers who have visited our shop in recent days and, unfortunately, in many cases have had to give up buying even a single box of our Amaretti di Gallarate or one of our classic Panettoni, because they are out of stock. A top-notch pastry shop, in fact, is like a particularly busy restaurant. To be sure of having a table, even a small one, it is better to book.....and this is our prayer for everyone. Call us, send us an email or a fax, we are here to try to make your desire for a good dessert a reality. We are sorry when you are not satisfied, but unfortunately we only have two hands......Merry Christmas to everyone and for New Year's Eve or, even worse, for the Epiphany with its puff pastry commelli, a reservation is worth more than a curse! Greetings from all the staff at Pasticceria Gnocchi and thanks for all the compliments you give us. We don't deserve them, we just do our job. Wednesday, December 23, 2015
