MIDDLE Street’s dining scene is fast becoming a destination for food lovers, and leading the charge is Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers Cleveland.
As Australia’s first dedicated “gnoccheria”, the brand has built a cult following across Queensland, and its Bayside outpost has quickly found its stride.
Step inside and you’re greeted with an easy, welcoming warmth.
General Manager Shravik Shrestha, who worked his way from dishwasher to owner in just six years, brings a genuine heart to the place that infuses the service as much as the food.
A current chef’s special is also winning fans: a slow-cooked lamb ragù, tossed through gnocchi or spaghetti with a rich tomato and Italian herb sauce, finished with a silky drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
It pairs beautifully with a glass of Organic La Torre Chianti and has quickly become the restaurant’s third most popular dish across all locations since launching two weeks ago.
It’s only here for a limited time, with a Halloween-inspired special set to follow.
Freshness and consistency shine across the menu, reflected in the restaurant’s glowing Google reviews (a near-perfect 4.7 from more than 100 diners).
The atmosphere is casual yet efficient, and the seven-day service, along with a clever mix of BYO and full licensing, makes it a flexible choice for locals.
A sweet touch comes on Tuesdays, when every dine-in main is paired with a complimentary tiramisu.
It’s a generous tradition that speaks to the brand’s ethos: food made with love.
Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers Cleveland is more than another franchise; it’s a story of passion, persistence, and seriously good gnocchi.
Whether you’re seeking comfort in a bowl or somewhere special to celebrate, it’s a Bayside gem that delivers both flavour and soul.
Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers Cleveland is at 2/32 Middle St, Cleveland. Phone 0422 248 017 for reservations or takeaway.
