Gnocchi a la nicoise is the Nicois potato gnocchi tossed in daube sauce or tomato basil, the small dumpling that comes from the Italian Savoyard heritage of the city.
Gnocchi a la nicoise reflects the Liguria meets Provence cooking that defines cucina nissarda, the small potato dumpling fast cooked in salted water and tossed with either a daube ragout or a tomato basil sauce. Lou Balico and La Merenda are the canonical addresses, with the dish often served as a side to the slow cooked beef daube on the same plate.
