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.

For $5-7 dollars, hard to find anything like this nowadays. Good portion, gnocchi is alright but flavor wise, it's terrible. The sauce is super acidic & barely tastes like tomato sauce.

Was a worth trying once but not again.

You can barely leave the house without spending $5, so let's be honest, this is a good deal for a good amount of gnocchi.

The gnocchi themselves are good, but my issue with the tomato sauce. It does not taste right, there is just something off about it.

I would still recommend to stop by & try it - it is a quintessential Montreal experience.

The entire menu is gnocchi. Ask for cheese & spice. That's all of your choices. You deserve nothing more.

Gnocchi's are what they do. With or without cheese, spicy or regular tomato sauce.
The concept is simple & it works. Found the gnocchi a bit tough but still tasty & the sauce good. So for 5-6$ roughly its an amazing deal & comforting. But good luck finding a parking & a place to sit outside to eat.

Excellent. The pasta is very good, & it's an unbeatable value for 6.50$. I recommend the gnocchi with cheese & spicy.

Drogheria is such a Montreal classic. You really can't beat $5 gnocchi for that level of quality, simple, delicious, & always satisfying. Perfect takeout to enjoy on a bench in Mile End while soaking up the nice weather. A go-to spot every time!

The gnocchi was soft but the sauce tasted like chef boyardee. Maybe it was too much oregano or burnt onions but I found the sauce oily. It's not for me, but the kids liked it on a cold day.
