Drogheria Fine's mission is to provide the food service industry innovative products and ingredients and to contribute to Quebec gastronomic and culinary growth.
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.
The gnocchi & sauce at this hole-in-the-wall is some of (if not the best) food I've eaten in Montréal. For under $6 you can get a delicious, authentic takeout box of freshly made gnocchi, topped with a rich tomato pasta sauce, plus chili flakes or parmesan cheese if you like. We loved it so much that we returned to buy the gnocchi & pasta sauce in bulk, taking it home to Toronto & flying it to Vancouver to share with family later! Note that they accept cash & debit. Highly recommend visiting, I'll be back!
It is a mile end classic. The famous gnocchi shack to try in Montréal. Don't expect an brilliant gnocchi but it is good. Go for spicy add cheese. Sometimes the line is long but it is worth it as the street is lovely & makes the whole mile end experience worth it.

If your looking for great gnocchi this is the spot, they only do gnocchi & are good at it. Recommendation for adding spice & cheese but the regular is very good.
Efficient service, super affordable ($5) & tasty gnocchi. I would definitely go back for a quick local bit to go. The gnocchi were very soft & fresh & the sauce was pretty good, I had the cheese gnocchi.
The hardest store name to remember but also the easiest to find because when you search up'delicious 5$ gnocchi' Drogheria Fine is the first place that pops up. All year long no matter the weather, when I'm in a rush for a quick meal this place is my first thought. The gnocchis are chewy, plump & everything you can wish for in a comfort meal. The portions are seriously generous + the tomato sauce is always so rich & with little extra cheese it becomes perfection. If you want to feel like you're on cloud nine from the flavours come here. I love this place (& it's vegetarian).
Stopped in yesterday & despite a long line, it moved rather quickly.
Menu is definitely very limited (gnocchi with cheese with option to add spicy or gnocchi with extra cheese & spicy).
The gnocchi was pillowy & filled to the brim of the takeout container for $6. Sauce tasted good but would've paid more for them to use real parm cheese than the typical store bought parm.
Chopsticks come with the gnocchi but charged extra for forks which is a bit annoying as chopsticks were not ideal for it.
For a quick, cheap snack we would definitely go back.
I've been coming here for years & it was the best deal in town. I went by this weekend & unfortunately they've shrunken down the portions by about 40%. They started to skimp on cheese + chili flakes. It's a shame because I would have loved for them to have upped their price but kept the portion the same. I was really disappointed by the new takeout container.
The food is affordable & delicious . 11/10 recommend, this place will now be my go-to place for yummy eats . Gnocchis are so chewy & the sauce is amazing. I recommend you add extra cheese for 1$, it's worth it!

Was on a mission to eat a fairmont bagel next door, & couldn't help resist smelling the fresh tomato gnocchi! So brought a box aswell with extra cheese & chilli... What can I say - awesome! Dipped the sesame seed bagel into the sauce & it's a perfect treat for a cold night! Great find :)
This is my favorite Italian Gnocchi place. I'm a big fan. Bring your own fork/spoon. They charge $0.30 for a fork, however they offer free chopsticks. Either pay with cash or Canadian Debit. Something to note is Canadian Debit means any card with an Interac logo on it. CREDIT CARDS are NOT Accepted.American debit cards or prepaid cash cards are often AMEX, Visa or Mastercard ONLY & are not acceptable here. There is an ATM available right nextdoors or a quick 5min walk to the nearest Scotia Bank Branch. I always get extra cheese with extra extra extra spice
Knew about this place from its hype online but actually just stumbled past it unintentionally as it's located near lots of other popular eats! Simply cheap & tasty. It is a bit plain & the sauce kind of reminds me of Chef Boyardee, but it was delicious nonetheless. After all it's only 6$ (cheese is 1$ extra).
Great gnocchi for a great price! Low effort for customer as there are very limited choices, few options between cheese, chili flakes & that's it. We'll located & seating available nearby outdoors
Cheap, tasty, fillings hmm what else I can say? This place is located next to Fairmount bagel, so after I got my bagels I went & got $5 gnocchi with cheese. It came on chinese take out boxes with wooden chopsticks. There's an extra $ if you'd like the fork. Taxes included on the price.
