The sauce doesn't work for me. Keep it simple, throw on some fresh pomodoro & basil & call it a day

I passed box early on Saturday.
It was cold & snowy. The young girl was working alone. She was swamped, working non stop.

Always with a smile & helping people with their questions.

I had to leave a good tip on take out. 👍👍👍

Those are no gniocchis, too salty & acid. Do yourself a favour & find a real hidden gem, plenty in Montreal...

Pillowy soft, Nonna-approved, & famously $5. 🍝✨
If you've walked through the Mile End, you've definitely smelled the garlic & tomatoes wafting from the iconic window of Drogheria Fine. There is something so satisfying about holding that warm white carton (usually reserved for Chinese takeout!) filled with the most comforting gnocchi in Montreal.
Did you know? The gnocchi wasn't actually the original plan! Drogheria Fine opened as a simple grocer to sell their family's authentic Calabrian tomato sauce. The gnocchi window was only started as a'tasting station' to help promote the sauce. It became such a massive hit that it turned into the legendary Montreal staple we know & love today. 🍅❤?
Whether you like yours with a little extra kick of chili or a mountain of parmesan, it's a must-stop every single time.

Ce n'est évidemment pas les meilleurs gnocchis que vous allez manger, mais pour 5$, avoir un bonne portion réconfortante de gnocchis dans une bonne sauce, c'est impossible à battre.
