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.

Unbelievable flavor for such a small price (5$). You can taste the passion & tradition in every bite. Fresh, comforting, & genuinely satisfying. If you're nearby, don't think twice-just go.'

It's a street walk by counter the sauce is homemade as a Italian that makes his own sauce with the family... It is delicious the owner I'm guessing took the time to explain everything I've asked super Patience & friendly service. Fyi they only take debit or cash. Thank you for bringing a little of Italy & homemade to Montreal!

Best & affordable place for some hot & warm pasta on a cold day. Ive been comming here for years. I rarely go to places like this where they have like one thing on the menu. Back during covid, the pieces of gnocchi were bigger but they had less pieces. Now the pieces are smaller but they include more pieces of gnocchi. I would DEFINETLY recommend to get it with the parmesean cheese & the chilli flakes (chilli flakes are optional) in my opinion. Because I once got it without parmesean & chili flakes & it tastes kind of bland. But when I got it with the spices, it tasted A LOT better. Its only $1.50 extra

One of the best pasta in Montreal. Such soft gnocci, & tangy sauce. & such kind workers. All of this for ONLY 5 DOLLARS.Everyone in the reviews saying this & that, should remember it's only five dollars, & it's still amazing.

My friends & I were visiting montreal & had heard about this place. We were super excited to try but when we arrived we were informed that you had to pay in cash or a Canadian debit card which we did not have. Be warned if you are visiting from outside of Canada to have some cash! Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy. Wish we had known before making the trip over that we couldn't use our credit cards.

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. They don't need any recommendation, they are the proof of you don't need to have an infinite menu to do things well. Always a pleasure to pass by!
