Davio's Offering Pumpkin-Themed Fare For National Pasta Day

IRVINE, CA — It may sound strange to celebrate National Pasta Day at a steakhouse, but here's why we think it's a great idea. Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse, which recently opened at Irvine Towers, is offering a seasonal pumpkin gnocchi.

Good gnocchi should be easy to eat and melt in your mouth, not be overly chewy. Davio's chefs have created gnocchi of the perfect texture, full of flavor and highly crave-able.

The pumpkin adds a mellow flavor for this potato-based dish. Made with potato, a little flour, pumpkin puree, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs, the pumpkin gnocchi is an ideal representation of northern Italian cuisine.

"The concept behind Davio’s is simple, regional Italian food with a focus on the grill," a spokesperson said. "Davio's offers everything from prime Brandt Beef steaks, fresh seafood, and salads as well as handmade pasta creations in the from-scratch kitchen," a spokesperson said. "Davio's takes great pride in serving guests with an expert kitchen and attentive staff in the dining room, offering an exceptional dining experience unlike any other with a focus on hospitality."
