Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is a beloved Montreal destination known for serving simple, affordable, and comforting gnocchi directly from a takeout window. While the menu is limited to gnocchi with tomato sauce, with options to add cheese or chili flakes, the concept is widely celebrated for its efficiency and value. Many patrons appreciate the pillowy texture of the pasta and the rich, homemade quality of the sauce, often describing it as a perfect snack for a cold day. Although opinions on the flavor profile vary, with some noting a preference for a more traditional marinara, most visitors agree that the experience is a quintessential part of the Mile End neighborhood. Be prepared for potential lineups, as the spot is popular, and ensure you have cash or a Canadian debit card on hand since they do not accept credit cards.

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.

La première fois, on voulait emporter notre commande, mais le vendeur nous a conseillé de consommer sur place pour mieux apprécier le goût. Aujourd'hui, on a acheté & mangé sur le champ, saupoudré de poudre de fromage & de piment. Ce n'est pas gras du tout, très savoureux, aussi bien les adultes que les enfants ont adoré. On n'avait pas assez mangé, donc on a repris une boîte pour manger en marchant. Par contre, si on en mange trop, on se sent vite rassasié.

Take out rapide & Gnocchis correct. Cela ne va clairment pas être les meilleurs de votre vie, mais pour le prix on peut difficilement se plaindre.

'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.

A tiny, precious neighborhood gem. Their gnocchi is so perfectly pillowy & chewy that it instantly cures my homesickness for Korean Tteokbokki. It's basically the ultimate, Italian version of my favorite comfort food. 🤣

I went during the week early so there wasnt a line up. For the quantity & the price, it reasonable. I don't like gnocchi but it can pass. I took the spicy, it not spicy at all.

Pillowy soft gnocchi. But I found the sauce a bit bland & generic, & even though I ordered with extra cheese & extra spice, the flavours were completely washed out by the sauce.

I think it's more tourist appeal & local nostalgia more than anything.
