A Heavenly Dish at La Buchetta Food & Wine Restaurant

There’s something poetic about ordering a dish called Angel and Demon Gnocchi in Florence. At La Buchetta, this heavenly-meets-hellish plate is more than just pasta — it’s a little culinary drama served in a bowl. I have had the famous Gnocchi about 10 times and always recommend l

The “angel” reveals itself in the soft, pillowy gnocchi and creamy, comforting flavors that feel rich yet delicate. Then the “demon” makes its entrance — a touch of spice, a bold sauce, perhaps a sharp kick of cheese — just enough heat to surprise your palate. It’s that perfect Italian contrast: smooth and fiery, gentle and intense, all in one unforgettable bite.

A City Made for the Movies

Florence itself feels cinematic. The thriller Inferno, based on the novel by Dan Brown, was filmed in Florence, showcasing the city’s dramatic beauty and timeless mystery.

Dining at La Buchetta feels like stepping into your own Italian film scene — rustic stone walls, candlelight flickering, and a plate of Angel and Demon gnocchi taking center stage. In Florence, even dinner feels like part of the story.

Gnocchi I Can’t Stop Going Back For

I’ve had this famous gnocchi like 10 times already and I still want to go back every single time. It’s €22, which is definitely more than most gnocchi dishes, and you even need a credit card to book because it’s always packed.

But honestly? So worth it. I’d order it again in a heartbeat.

Book a table far in advance at one of their 2 restaurants. You will find the Gnocchi in both. https://labuchetta.com/.
