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
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!

Only the freshest gnocchi served here w/lots of crushed red pepper flakes served out of a window in a generic cheap-o Chinese take out box for $6.00. What's not to love ❤?💕
If you complain about spending 6.5$ including tax for a takeout box of fresh gnocchi with great tomato sauce, Parmesan & chilli flakes, then you seriously have an issue!!!!! This place is amazing for what you get! A definite stop ❤?
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.

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.
The gnocchi & sauce at this hole-in-the-wall is some of (if not the best) food I've eaten in Montréal. For under $6 you can get a delicious, authentic takeout box of freshly made gnocchi, topped with a rich tomato pasta sauce, plus chili flakes or parmesan cheese if you like. We loved it so much that we returned to buy the gnocchi & pasta sauce in bulk, taking it home to Toronto & flying it to Vancouver to share with family later! Note that they accept cash & debit. Highly recommend visiting, I'll be back!
Why the hype? People by the droves picking up a quick box of gnocchi with tomato sauce… cheap ($5) but quite disappointing, mainly because of the sauce. The gnocchi itself is good, not too large & plentiful, but it's destroyed by the sauce which is most definitely from a can; an industrial-sized one. Had I known, I would have asked them to hold the sauce & just do Parmesan & chili flakes. Oh well. The price is right.
I've been coming here for years & it was the best deal in town. I went by this weekend & unfortunately they've shrunken down the portions by about 40%. They started to skimp on cheese + chili flakes. It's a shame because I would have loved for them to have upped their price but kept the portion the same. I was really disappointed by the new takeout container.

Great gnocchi for a great price! Low effort for customer as there are very limited choices, few options between cheese, chili flakes & that's it. We'll located & seating available nearby outdoors
The food is really good considering the price. I chose the option with cheese & flakes & it was indeed spicy but delicious. The line was long but moved fairly quickly.
Actually I went to the street to try ice cream & there was a long line for gnocchi. Smell was so good & the line made me to try it. The sauce was good & extra cheese & pepper flakes made it even better. But I didn't like the texture. It was too soggy. It was fun to try gnocchi in a Chinese takeout box with chopsticks. Gnocchi was very tiny so folk is much easier to grab it.

Quick & delicious! When a place does only one thing, they better do it well. Drogheria's gnocchi is petite & with just the right amount of sauce. I recommend getting it with extra cheese & spice. (It's a generous spice. Since it's red pepper flakes added on top, you can ask them to hold back a little bit.) Chopsticks are free. Forks are available for a slight cost. Find a nearby bench & enjoy!
For five bucks, this place is beyond worth it. An entire Chinese takeout box of gnocchi with tomato sauce & option of additional cheese &/or red pepper flakes! It's the only thing they serve, & they get it RIGHT. Pillowy soft & petite gnocchis. Super saucy, which I prefer. Do not skip this food counter as part of your Mile End Fairmount Ave tour!
