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.

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.

A walk up window. Cash only. You get a carton of gnocchi with sauce. It reminded me of chef boyardee. It's a fun experience while waiting for bagels next door.

Gnocchi were great, but the sauce was burnt tasting. I saw the pot was very hot & maybe consider using a lower heat.

Pas mauvais, pas bon non plus, la sauce tomate un peu acide.

The sauce is good but the gnocchi are to soft in my opinion!

A window in a wall, & some of the best gnocchi I've ever eaten.

Drogheria Fine is not a restaurant in any conventional sense. It's a takeaway window wedged between other businesses in a busy part of town, easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I walked by it once & it caught me immediately, because I love pasta & I have a particular weakness for gnocchi.

The menu is almost aggressively simple. Gnocchi with sauce, or gnocchi with sauce & cheese for a dollar fifty more. That's the whole operation, & that restraint is exactly the point. They do one thing & they do it flawlessly. My friends went next door for bagels. I went here instead & made the right call.

I ordered the gnocchi with sauce & parmesan, & it landed in my hands in a takeaway box within seconds. Hot, fresh, homemade sauce, clearly made by people who have been making it their entire lives. Rustic, old-school, unapologetically Italian. I stood on the street & ate it there, & it was one of the most satisfying meals of the trip.

I still think about it. The concept, the simplicity, the flavor, all of it lands. I'd go back tomorrow.

Améliorez la sauce. Elle est trop acide. Le reste est fantastique!
