One of my fond food memories from my time in the ATL was a little cuban grocery store over by Georgia Tech called the Kool Korner. It served (hands down) the best cuban sandwich I have ever eaten.

The result was a tasty, warm bowl, without being too heavy (as I fear most gnocchi dishes are). Potato Gnocchi, with white beans, spinach, mushrooms and pancetta.
