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.
Bonne expérience en général mais je n'ai pas vraiment apprécié les gnocchi. Le restaurant possède visiblement une recette authentique & artisanale mais j'aurais préféré avoir des gnocchi un peu plus cuits voir sautés & servis dans un peu moins de sauce. Cependant j'ai vu les clients ravis & je pense que tout est plutôt question de préférences personnelles.

There was a long queue but it went relatively fast (about 25 mins) & was worth the wait. Tasty gnocchi & big portions for what you pay! While waiting you can grab a bagel from the shop next door.
Drogheria Fine's gnocchi are soft, flavorful, & covered in a tasty Calabrese tomato sauce with parmesan on top. The mix of spice & cheesy makes every bite amazing. Simple, quick, & delicious - perfect street food! Special mention to the chopsticks that helped me very well

Can we have the 5$ gnocchi?... Server: Yes that will be 6$ 🥲 The wait time was long & the portions are not worth very much more than 5$. 30¢ for a fork.
Glad to support small businesses. Interesting take on gnocchi. First time I've ever seen Italian served in a Chinese fast food container with chop sticks. Excellent flavor in the sauce & cheese. Excellent value also.
Excellent si on veux manger à petit prix. $5 dollars & avec fromages parmesan $6 & extra fromages $6.50 On peut demander épicé aussi :) p.s c'est un comptoir extérieure ya pas de salle à manger. & ya toujours une fille d'attente ! Mes sa vaut le coût :)
Actually I went to the street to try ice cream & there was a long line for gnocchi. Smell was so good & the line made me to try it. The sauce was good & extra cheese & pepper flakes made it even better. But I didn't like the texture. It was too soggy. It was fun to try gnocchi in a Chinese takeout box with chopsticks. Gnocchi was very tiny so folk is much easier to grab it.

Love the ambience. It's fun to buy those cute take out boxes of gnocchi, but I have to be honest about the taste. The sauce is very mid, a shockingly tangy bright orange. Reminded me of Chef Boyardee with some added basil. The gnocchi are as small as baked beans, also a bit strange. The parmesan on top is ok. I was only able to eat half before I got full. The serving size looks deceivingly small, but this stuff really fills you up! Overall a fun thing to try once....maybe twice. It was $5. SO CHEAP! (I brought my own fork, lol, but they sell wooden ones. Those are not free)
