Have you ever found yourself aimlessly scrolling through Instagram when suddenly you're stopped in your tracks by something absolutely delicious-looking? If that something that caught your attention was Fiamma's Stuffed Gnocchi Bomb, then consider chef/owner Joseph Jurkivo's mission accomplished. “We were brainstorming and we said, ‘What will wow people? What will get people to stop scrolling and look?'” he shares. “We said, ‘Let's do something big.'”
While Jurkivo says that all of Fiamma's dishes carry a wow factor, the Stuffed Gnocchi Bomb takes it to another level. Served in a bread bowl, the dish consists of homemade cheese-stuffed gnocchi tossed in the restaurant's signature pink vodka sauce. It's topped with whole milk mozzarella cheese before baking in the oven. “This epic dish is rich and bold,” he says, calling it an immediate hit from the beginning. “People from all over—different states, different countries—were liking, sharing, commenting. It was an amazing show of love towards a beautiful food creation.”
Undoubtedly, Jurkivo calls the Stuffed Gnocchi Bomb one of the most popular items on the menu. “It's big, it's filling, it's pretty and most of all it is delicious,” he says. A menu staple, the dish is available all day, every day—and so are their three other “bombs,” including the Fettuccine Alfredo Bomb, Seafood Bomb and Bolognese Bomb.
Jurkivo playfully recommends enjoying the dish with water: “Lots of water to clean your palate between bites so you can enjoy each bite a bit more than the last until you're full.”
