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.

Great gnocchi, but sauce was giving Chef Boyardee. The added cheese helped though & for the price it's worth it

Sincèrement, n'oubliez pas votre pepto bismol si vous y allez. Sauce tomato vraiment acide un déshoneur à la cuisine Italienne. 👎

With nearly 20 years of history & a very niche concept, Drogheria Fine is definitely a standout. Gnocci is not typically a specialty of Italian restaurants. Even more rare in Canada is this street food style serving with the kitchen right at the curb- I love experiences like this when I travel & have always thought we need more of it over here. The service is lightning fast, no doubt seasoned with years of experience of handling busy lines. As for the product itself- it was pretty tasty & definitely satisfying for the price, but not extraordinary. It's a very simple item with only a few quality ingredients.

Die Nudeln sind lecker, find's aber absolut schwach das man hier nur mit Bargeld oder kanadischer Debit zahlen kann. Die nächsten Bankautomaten sind nicht gerade nebenan und einer von zweien ging nicht.

A small hole in the wall, grab & go Italian restaurant that only sells gnocchi with tomato sauce (the only variation to it is if you want cheese or cheese & chilli pepper with it).
no indoor seatings!! There are outside seatings. Depending when you go there's a line up.

Gnocchi w/ just the sauce coat $5, gnocchi w/sauce & cheese $6 & gnocchi w/ sauce, cheese & chilli spice $6.5.

I passed the restaurant to get bagels next door & saw a walking tour bringing a group of people here. The day I went was gloomy & a bit chilli. So i got the gnocchi with sauce/cheese/ chilli pepper. Not spicy, just gives the pasta a bit of extra taste.

We arrived early on a Sunday morning, so there was no wait & it was easy to grab a spot on one of the benches right outside. We ordered the gnocchi with cheese, & it was absolutely amazing-perfect as a snack to share between the two of us. The service was quick, friendly, & attentive. Just a heads-up: an extra fork costs $0.25. 😀 Highly recommended!
