    I am quite curious how Americans pronounce Gnocchi. I hope it’s horribly wrong.

          You’re right about the g, but the second part is more like ck (as in knocky), not tschi like cappuccino but ck like cacca. I’m not English nor Italian so ‘tsch’ and ‘ck’ might not be the best letters to describe the sounds.

            sorry i was pulling your leg. where i live people some people call them “knotschi”, instead of ([ˈɲɔkki]).

            wikitionary has pronunciation examples: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gnocchi

      Any hope for it being anything close to the original is a lost cause at this point.

      I am a heathen, so usually NO-Key, but in culinary circles people who want to nod in the general direction of proper Italian will say something closer to knee-YO-key. Mid-word vowel sounds in American English (all English?) can be extremely variable, though

      If you want a proper IPA transcription, this video seems about right.
