Gnocchi were great, but the sauce was burnt tasting. I saw the pot was very hot & maybe consider using a lower heat.

One of the best gnocchi I've ever tried! I had the extra cheese gnocchi with a spices -it was served super hot, perfectly cheesy, & had just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh, & there were great vegetarian options available. The shop is small & very cute, with a cozy atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh, delicious gnocchi

Food's consistently good.

Too bad the front-of-house can't say the same. Whoever was working the afternoon shift on 7/18 could use a crash course in basic customer service… you know, the'treating paying customers like human beings' part of the job. Come for the food, brace yourself for the attitude !

Les gnocchis sont un petit repas abordable à manger dans un parc ou à rapporter chez soi. Ils sont excellents! Le comptoir n'offre pas de tables ni de places assises. À noter qu'ils n'acceptent pas les cartes de crédit, seulement les cartes de débit.

A window in a wall, & some of the best gnocchi I've ever eaten.

Drogheria Fine is not a restaurant in any conventional sense. It's a takeaway window wedged between other businesses in a busy part of town, easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I walked by it once & it caught me immediately, because I love pasta & I have a particular weakness for gnocchi.

The menu is almost aggressively simple. Gnocchi with sauce, or gnocchi with sauce & cheese for a dollar fifty more. That's the whole operation, & that restraint is exactly the point. They do one thing & they do it flawlessly. My friends went next door for bagels. I went here instead & made the right call.

I ordered the gnocchi with sauce & parmesan, & it landed in my hands in a takeaway box within seconds. Hot, fresh, homemade sauce, clearly made by people who have been making it their entire lives. Rustic, old-school, unapologetically Italian. I stood on the street & ate it there, & it was one of the most satisfying meals of the trip.

I still think about it. The concept, the simplicity, the flavor, all of it lands. I'd go back tomorrow.

People have different taste I found it very salty, very chewy & leaves a bitter after taste. My 2 boys didn't even like it at all.
