Pillowy soft gnocchi. But I found the sauce a bit bland & generic, & even though I ordered with extra cheese & extra spice, the flavours were completely washed out by the sauce.

I think it's more tourist appeal & local nostalgia more than anything.

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.
