La Drogheria Fine à pour mission de fournir à l'industrie des services alimentaires des produits et des ingrédients novateurs et de contribuer à l'essor gastronomique et culinaire Québécois.
Drogheria Fine est un petit comptoir sans chichis qui propose des gnocchis en takeout servis dans une boîte et accompagnés d'une sauce tomate maison à choix avec parmesan ou piment. Le rapport qualité-prix est largement mis en avant et les portions sont généreuses, ce qui en fait une halte pratique et prisée dans le quartier Mile End. Les avis varient sur la sauce et la texture: certains parlent de gnocchis moelleux et d'une sauce savoureuse, d'autres trouvent la sauce trop acide ou les gnocchis parfois pâteux selon le jour. L'origine du lieu, née d'une épicerie familiale calabraise et d'un stand de dégustation, ajoute au charme street-food et l'ambiance de trottoir renforce l'expérience rapide et conviviale; il est habituellement possible d'emporter et d'acheter la sauce en bouteille pour prolonger le plaisir. Dans l'ensemble, Drogheria Fine demeure un choix bon marché et réconfortant, reconnu comme une icône locale pour les gnocchis, malgré des opinions plus mitigées sur la sauce et la constance.
Cute hole in the wall place! Came here for the $5 Gnocci. Add 1.50 & you get chili flakes & Parmesan cheese.
It's the best thing I've eaten since my Grade 4 teacher's rigatoni sauce. I remember eating it as a kid, & even after all these years I still crave it & I'm glad I found this on my trip to Montreal cause it was nostalgic lol
Like everyone has been saying, you just can't beat the price. The box is small but mighty as it surprisingly is able to contain plenty of gnocchi. There is no indoor seating but there are public benches outside. The sauce is not my favourite but it's still an overall good snack . When I come back I'll try to bring some cheese or cured meats to eat on the side!
Honestly? The gnocchi is good, it's the sauce that's pretty bland. It's too sour! There's a bit of an indecipherable aftertaste too. It tastes like cheap store bought pasta sauce unfortunately. Improved by the spice, but not by much.
I keep coming back because it's hard to beat a hearty $5 meal! It warms you right up on a cold autumn day. But it's by no means stellar.
Service is always amazing though, really nice people. & there's seating nearby which is great bc it's no food indoors
Would love to see a vegan cheese option! Also would be nice if the toppings could be sandwiched into the gnocchi, so the whole thing is spiced/cheesy & not just the top

This place serves only Gnocci, sauce + cheese or chilli flakes.
HOWEVER, THE DISH IS YUMM!
The place is like a'hole in the wall'. There is NO'inside' seating.
If you wish to eat at the place, there are a couple benches on the sidewalk to & eat.
But the Gnocci is good!
The Gnocci is served in a' Chinese take-out' style container. The only difference between'take away' &'dine-in', is the closed lid on the containers.
But the Gnocci is so good!
They sell the sauce in bottles. This can be used for other types of pasta at home.
Did I mention that Gnocci was so good? Yes it was!
For the taste & quantity, I beleive, the Gnocci is a great value for the money.
The Gnocci was so good!
I don't understand the hype of this place. We took gnocchi with cheese for around 6$ & the sauce was really sour. It was hard to finish. The gnocchi were ok.
Honestly, it's hard to beat a bucket steamy portion of gnocchi & sauce served to you in a Chinese boodle box. I like the sauce, I usually order my portion to be with cheese & chilli's. Bring someone on a date here & they'll always remember how cool you are.

First time here, & won't be the last. Great option for an inexpensive meal. The gnocchi is ok, the sauce is delicious. I got with cheese, which imo you don't get very much for the extra.
Drogheria Fine is a small shop that sells gnocchi three ways: plain, with cheese or spicy with cheese. It is a very small shop with no seating available. It is located in a residential area filled with many places to eat & drink. There is a park nearby if you want to sit & eat your gnocchi.
The gnocchi texture was very good, but BE WARNED: the sauce is not typical Italian marinara. It tasted similar to Chef Boyardee or even close to tomato soup or a Tteokbokki sauce.'With cheese' was very misleading-it's a small sprinkle of parm on top (almost like kraft). If you're expecting Italian marinara, you will be disappointed. Not sure that I would go back. Other people in my party liked it, but didn't love it.
Wow, glad we went here! One item on the menu for $5, but it's done very very well! I got the spicy with cheese version & my wife & son got the cheese version. We all loved it! We will definitely be going back for more!!! For those who've never been this is not a sit down restaurant, it's basically a service counter with sidewalk seating (no tables) in proximity of the location. Looking forward to trying the jar of pasta sauce we bought to bring home!!
Delicious, filling, & super cheap gnocchi -- what more can you ask for? This cute, Instagram-famous shop window serves nothing but gnocchi with homemade tomato sauce; you can only get it to-go, & they don't sell anything else (although you can choose to dress it up with cheese &/or red pepper flakes). Although they only make one thing, they do it incredibly well -- the gnocchi is super soft & pillowy, & it's clear that they started as a tomato sauce shop. The sauce is remarkably flavorful, with the right balance of savory, acidic, & very slightly sweet. It's especially tasty with the pepper, although beware that they like to pour a vat full of red pepper flakes on top. It's served in a Chinese take-out container with chopsticks, which is very cute & feels a bit like a clash of cultures.
The staff is super friendly, & it's 100% worth a stop, especially at their price point of $5 for a giant take-out container. They don't have any seating inside, but there are a few benches nearby that you can plop down on.
A delicious little treat for just $5-6.50! I highly recommend adding cheese & chili flakes, it's seriously good. Just a heads-up: they only accept Canadian debit or cash. Last time I went, I skipped lunch because it was so filling for the price. Great value! The line moves quick too.
$6 gnocchi with cheese, it really doesn't get any better than this ! i didn't expect much for the price point, but the sauce was surprisingly great, the gnocchi was a good texture, & the portion size was generous
This gnocchi pasta shop is perfectly located in a food corner from Fairmont Bagels to Drogheria to Kem CoBa! There was a line when we got there but it moved fast. I love the very simple menu. Honestly, you can only get gnocchi either (1) plain, (2) with cheese, &/or (3) spicy. & it's cash only. Such a smart business idea, perfectly located, & the gnocchi was a perfect snack/meal! We got the spicy gnocchi without cheese, & it was just red chili flakes on top but they definitely made it spicy.
