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.
Attention, aucune place assise, mais un beau parc à proximité ou manger ses délicieux gnocchis qui réchauffe à seulement 5$. Miam! Parfait pour attendre dans une file d'attente dehors l'hiver haha.
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 :)

It took me a while to find this gem, but totally worth the trip. I loved their gnocchi; hands down one of the best I've tried. The service was quick & easy.
The sauce here is so good! Add red pepper for some nice spice. There are benches nearby to eat on. By default you'll get chopsticks to eat with. Really nice spot that doesn't have a bunch of variety, but does what they do VERY well
I think the concept of this place is really cool. Price is very low 5-7$ for a small bucket of gnocci. Something fun to do in montreal, service was fast & friendly. Is it worth the hype? Maybe for the experience, why not it's only 5-7$. The gnocci itself was not amazing, to be honest it was very below average.

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
It's $5 & a good size portion so you can't complain much but the gnocchi is low quality & the sauce is pretty bland. With how many other amazing food options there are in the neighborhood it's not really worth the often massive line unless you're trying to save a few $
This is more then just a place for you to eat something original in town Best olive oil from South of Italy The experience is awesome A Real Calabria experience !
