To celebrate the turn of seasons, Ask Italian has launched snowball gnocchi, a festive twist on its signature baked chocolate gnocchi , just in time for Christmas .

The arrival of snowball Gnocchi follows a customer taste test that took place in September, where diners were invited to try three types of dessert gnocchi to feature on the winter menu.

With snowball being the clear favourite, the popular Italian restaurant chain, which has sites across the country, is excited to be launching it in time for the festive months, along with its Christmas menus.

Available in all Ask Italian restaurants, the new dessert arrives in the form of the popular Nutella-filled baked chocolate gnocchi now with white chocolate sauce and snowy desiccated coconut for dipping and dunking.

For those looking to book a Christmas get together with family and friends, Ask Italian offers the ultimate festive set menus, each of which includes three courses plus a complimentary glass of Prosecco.

Guests can order from the Festivo Menu for £19.95 that features popular dishes from mushrooms al forno to fettuccine bolognese or the Super Festivo Menu for £24.95 that features some of Ask Italian’s new dishes including pumpkin arancini and tortelloni mortadella.

And to make sure no one misses out on the cheer, Ask Italian has a special Vegan Festive Menu for £18.95 that includes scrumptious offerings such as baked dough balls and a mixed vegetable and lentil spaghetti bolognese.

The Non-Gluten Festive Menu for 19.95 features burrata caprese and plenty of non-gluten pizza and pasta options to enjoy.

Further to the festive set menus, guests can order the Christmas specials from the main menu too.
