A small hole in the wall, grab & go Italian restaurant that only sells gnocchi with tomato sauce (the only variation to it is if you want cheese or cheese & chilli pepper with it).
no indoor seatings!! There are outside seatings. Depending when you go there's a line up.

Gnocchi w/ just the sauce coat $5, gnocchi w/sauce & cheese $6 & gnocchi w/ sauce, cheese & chilli spice $6.5.

I passed the restaurant to get bagels next door & saw a walking tour bringing a group of people here. The day I went was gloomy & a bit chilli. So i got the gnocchi with sauce/cheese/ chilli pepper. Not spicy, just gives the pasta a bit of extra taste.

We arrived early on a Sunday morning, so there was no wait & it was easy to grab a spot on one of the benches right outside. We ordered the gnocchi with cheese, & it was absolutely amazing-perfect as a snack to share between the two of us. The service was quick, friendly, & attentive. Just a heads-up: an extra fork costs $0.25. 😀 Highly recommended!

It's my second time in Montreal & I knew I had to be back & get the gnocchi again. 10/10 did not disappoint, still as good as the first time O tried it

Portion size is also good for what it's worth

What a gem. Ran into this place with a bunch of folks outside on our way to finding Fairmount bagel (which also has awesome bagels).

We were wondering what everyone was eating, & saw that this spot was serving 1 item - to go gnocchi. 6 bucks. Can get it with cheese & red pepper for some spice.

Honestly shockingly good. Got some of the best sorbet/gelato next door to it too. What an experience!

Oh, one downside - cash only establishment.

Qualité-prix dans sa meilleure forme. Bonne chance pour le stationnement : une bonne petite marche pour creuser l'appétit ou pour faire descendre le tout. Recommandé sans aucun doute, & proche de plusieurs autres merveilles.

The gnocchi were soft & comforting, but taste-wise nothing really stood out to me. The sauce was okay, simple & homemade style, but not something I'd personally crave again. It's one of those'nice to try once' Montreal spots more for the experience & local hype than for amazing flavor.

I do understand why people like it though - it's cheap ( 5 dollars ) quick, filling, & feels very local & authentic. The vibe around the place is probably stronger than the actual food itself because it is between kem cona & fairmount bagel! 🥯
