Serving gnocchi on the 29th of each month is a Venetian tradition. This practice began with Pantaleone, an 8th century doctor from Asia Minor, who converted to Christianity and migrated to northern Italy. Legend has it that Pantaleone arrived tired and starving, when a poor farmer shared his last bowl of gnocchi with him. He was so grateful he blessed the bowl and promised a year of excellent fishing and crops. Gottino pays homage today by serving gnocchi and wishes all a bountiful harvest.
