Not impressed! I saw many people enjoying their portions, so I had high expectations. The actual gnocchi was terrible. The sauce was also disappointing & the cheese was like saw dust. I will not go back.

Absolutely the most amazing gnocchi of my life. Please don't miss this. The no cheese one is vegan.

You couldn't go wrong with this gnocchi. The cheese & spice goes really well. Had it during the rainy day. This is what I needed.

One of the best gnocchi I've ever tried! I had the extra cheese gnocchi with a spices -it was served super hot, perfectly cheesy, & had just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh, & there were great vegetarian options available. The shop is small & very cute, with a cozy atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh, delicious gnocchi

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.

Good gnocchi with a very generous portion. I tried it with extra cheese & spicy sauce-the quality was good, but the spicy version wasn't really for me.

Still, if you're a gnocchi lover & want a filling meal, this is a solid option.

Came here at opening & they were late to open. I got the gnocchi with cheese & the sauce is bland & salty. Disappointed that the cheese is only on the top & tasted like Kraft Parm. However the portion is quite big & good value.

'cheese' is a kraft parmesan cheese to go on top of theses gummy balls called' gnocchis' in what they say is a tomatoe sauce nonna's style ! I had to throw them away after 2 bites & God knows how I love food & Italian food especially. But aside a cute little corner shop that seems so appealing for real Italian snacks. What they sold is simply in disgusting. A perfect tourist trap.
