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.

Absolutely the most amazing gnocchi of my life. Please don't miss this. The no cheese one is vegan.

The gnocchi sauce was burnt & visibly darkened. The gnocchi pieces were good yet not the usual shape but the sauce did not taste good. I could see black specks in it, which I assumed were burnt garlic. Hopefully other days the sauce is better.

For $5, I wasn't expecting my Italian grandmother's cooking, but I was at least hoping for food.

The portion was surprisingly generous, which was great because it gave me more of the worst tomato sauce I've ever tasted. It somehow managed to be both bland & burnt at the same time-an achievement, really.

I'm Italian, so I don't take pasta & tomato sauce lightly. I also hate wasting food & will usually eat just about anything. This, however, was the first meal in a very long time that went straight into the trash. Congratulations on creating the only gnocchi I've ever found to be completely inedible.

Save your $5. You'll get a better meal almost anywhere else.

You couldn't go wrong with this gnocchi. The cheese & spice goes really well. Had it during the rainy day. This is what I needed.

Saw this place all over Instagram & came with high expectations. But unfortunately the gnocchi was too soft in my opinion & the same was just a normal sauce. Overall I think it's only worth going if you are walking by but not something you need to go out of the way for.
