Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is a small, cash or debit only takeout counter with no indoor seating that serves gnocchi in a windowed, street-food style setting, often enjoyed with the option of cheese or spicy toppings and a rich tomato sauce; reviews describe the gnocchi as pillowy and comforting and the portions generous for the price, while the sauce can range from deeply flavorful to overly sour or bland depending on the batch, with some gnocchi textures being chewy or overcooked. The experience is quick, casual, and distinctly neighborhood, aided by friendly staff and a bustling takeout line that moves, and the packaging— a simple to-go box with optional jar sauce to take home—adds to the charm. Many praise the affordability and the nostalgia of a place that started as a sauce shop before the gnocchi became iconic, while a few note that the sauce is not always to their taste and some batches feel more like a can than homemade. Overall, it’s considered a must-try for gnocchi lovers seeking a hard-to-beat value and a quintessential Montréal moment, even if every visit doesn’t hit the same high note.

Straighforward gnocchi place. A classic take-out spot in Mile-End that locals & tourists love. The prices are fairly good ($6 per box) & the sauce & pasta are rich & filling. During the early afternoon, there may be lineups of around 10-15 minutes. Note that there is also no seating, & I don't recommend buying the pasta+sauce in the jar because it doesn't cook nearly as well at home. Despite this, it's my favourite comfort food spot.

they're so affordable (5$ for a regular box, tax included) & make for a delicious snack when you're visiting mile-end!! i get some every time i'm in the area, they're served hot & in arguably big portions for the price. definitely not to miss if you're around!

For five bucks, this place is beyond worth it. An entire Chinese takeout box of gnocchi with tomato sauce & option of additional cheese &/or red pepper flakes! It's the only thing they serve, & they get it RIGHT. Pillowy soft & petite gnocchis. Super saucy, which I prefer. Do not skip this food counter as part of your Mile End Fairmount Ave tour!

This was the 2nd stop on our food tour & OMG what amazing "street gnocchi". I had no idea I needed this in my life but I totally do. I had read about it before I got there & couldn't figure out the appeal but I was so wrong. It's little fluffy pillows of goodness in an amazing sauce severed in a Chinese takeout box eaten with chopsticks standing on the sidewalk & it is pefection!!!
