Agreed. That's why I always order something cool like gnocchi when I go to an Italian restaurant. It's much harder to make that well at home.
if you have the right kind of potato, it's very easy and it takes less time than most handmade pasta
Pasta gnocchi come from a bag. Potato fresh gnocchi take work.
This is my opinion too! Basic Italian-American stuff seems really simple to DIY, so unless a place has some really killer house made sauce it always feels like such a ripoff. If I'm going out, I typically want something that is either too hard, laborious, or messy to make at home.
