Gnocchi a la Vodka at Graffiato

$15

Fans of Graffiato D.C.’s wood-fired pizza may take issue with the pies here (the crust is different; it’s focaccia) but there’s always pasta — including a dish so comforting that you may not want to share it. We’re talking about pillowy potato dumplings bathed in a tomato-vodka-cream sauce with a light sprinkling of pancetta. It’s a hearty recipe, but the portion size is just enough to satisfy without leaving you feeling stuffed.
