Time Out says

Gnocch, gnocch. Who's there? It's the Ascot Lot's annual Gnocchi Festival, of course. 

The food truck park will transform into a potato dumpling haven with food trucks and stalls dishing out gnocchi by the plateful on Saturday, April 30 and on Sunday, May 1, and let's hope their puns aren't as bad as ours. Expect to see the likes of Gnonna's Gnocchi, Italy & Co, Pearl of the Quarter and more with gnocchi stalls that will ensure your kitchen is well-stocked with the chunky little clouds. 

Gnocchtails will be free-flowing, and you'll even be able to vote for your favourite gnocchi for the chance to win prizes. The event is vegan and gluten-free friendly, and entry is $10 per person and includes a Spritz on arrival. The indoor drinking hall and outdoor garden bar will be slinging Italian-inspired cocktails including several Spritz varieties, peach bellinis, Negronis and more, and there will be plenty of live entertainment to keep you grooving.
