Review Summary

Drogheria Fine is widely celebrated as a quintessential Montreal staple, offering a unique and authentic street food experience centered on fresh, pillowy gnocchi served with a signature tomato sauce. While opinions on the sauce's flavor profile vary, with some diners finding it incredibly comforting and others noting it as overly acidic or simple, the overall consensus highlights the exceptional value and generous portion sizes for the price. The minimalist, quick-service takeout window frequently draws lines, yet the efficient staff and fast turnover make it a convenient stop for locals and tourists alike. Visitors should be prepared for a cash or Canadian debit-only policy and limited seating options, though the cozy neighborhood vibe and proximity to other local gems make it a highly recommended experience for those seeking a hearty, affordable, and warm bite.

For $5 gnocchi, it's pretty good. But you can't step inside the store for some reason & they give you a lot of sass about it. It's nothing super special, but the tomato sauce is fresh & the gnocchi is good for what it is.

In the spirit of supporting small businesses I visited this place. However, their sauce doesn't disappoint at all. I wasn't in love with their Gnocchi but it was filling & good food. The sauce is GOOD! They don't have dine-in experience, they take cash or card which is nice. You can get takeout or just the sauce. They have spicy option & regular. The spicy is super spicy!

Fast & delicious gnocchi to go. If you choose the chili option expect lots of chili flakes. I needed the Parmesan to regulate it.

Nice business Idea with an Excellent quality/price gnocchi, only take out with no seats available but you can eat your gnocchi in any benches & enjoy the weather on a sunny day. Gnocchi are tasty & authentic enough to be called an Italian dish, very hard working & nice people at the business. Great location, after gnocchi you can enjoy a nice espresso at Cafe Olympia located just a few minutes walk from Drogheria Fine.

After reading all of the reviews about the gnocchi I just had to try it. I was disappointed that the sauce had a Chef Boyardee tang to it. The price was low, but not worth the trip to get here.
