Drogheria Fine

A window in a wall, & some of the best gnocchi I've ever eaten.

Drogheria Fine is not a restaurant in any conventional sense. It's a takeaway window wedged between other businesses in a busy part of town, easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I walked by it once & it caught me immediately, because I love pasta & I have a particular weakness for gnocchi.

The menu is almost aggressively simple. Gnocchi with sauce, or gnocchi with sauce & cheese for a dollar fifty more. That's the whole operation, & that restraint is exactly the point. They do one thing & they do it flawlessly. My friends went next door for bagels. I went here instead & made the right call.

I ordered the gnocchi with sauce & parmesan, & it landed in my hands in a takeaway box within seconds. Hot, fresh, homemade sauce, clearly made by people who have been making it their entire lives. Rustic, old-school, unapologetically Italian. I stood on the street & ate it there, & it was one of the most satisfying meals of the trip.

I still think about it. The concept, the simplicity, the flavor, all of it lands. I'd go back tomorrow.

What could be better than a box of pillowy soft gnocchi smothered in homemade tomato sauce? 🍅 Settle yourself onto a bench nearby & watch the neighbourhood go about its business while you eat. Delicious!

I passed box early on Saturday.
It was cold & snowy. The young girl was working alone. She was swamped, working non stop.

Always with a smile & helping people with their questions.

I had to leave a good tip on take out. 👍👍👍

Oh, gnocchi are good too

Like everyone has been saying, you just can't beat the price. The box is small but mighty as it surprisingly is able to contain plenty of gnocchi. There is no indoor seating but there are public benches outside. The sauce is not my favourite but it's still an overall good snack . When I come back I'll try to bring some cheese or cured meats to eat on the side!

Honestly, it's hard to beat a bucket steamy portion of gnocchi & sauce served to you in a Chinese boodle box. I like the sauce, I usually order my portion to be with cheese & chilli's. Bring someone on a date here & they'll always remember how cool you are.

Only the freshest gnocchi served here w/lots of crushed red pepper flakes served out of a window in a generic cheap-o Chinese take out box for $6.00. What's not to love ❤?💕

If you complain about spending 6.5$ including tax for a takeout box of fresh gnocchi with great tomato sauce, Parmesan & chilli flakes, then you seriously have an issue!!!!! This place is amazing for what you get! A definite stop ❤?

Solid choice! Not that spicy or cheesy, but delicious none the less. It is definitely too much for one person in my opinion. We split one box between four people & I felt like that was the perfect amount. I would totally recommend stopping by! However, like most spots in Montréal there isn't really a place to stop & sit & eat. There was a small seating area that was a public shared space & at the time we were able to get a spot. So be prepared to eat & walk or eat & stand.
