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.

Very fast service $5 sounded like a bargain. Unfortunately, at first glance, the sauce looked like tomato soup. Upon tasting it, it reminded me of canned tomato soup. So dissapointed that the two of us couldn't eat more than a few bites before deciding to bring it home & doctor it up with some seasoning or real tomato sauce.

This is an unreal experience. Where in the world can you find a window that just sells gnocchi? Well you can find it here, & the sauce & a gnocchi is so good..

The sauce is homemade, & it tastes like it is in a pot for hours if not days. There's no sweetness, no sugar, all you can taste is reduced tomatoes, caramelized onions, & the herbs. The sauce has a bold body & is very herbaceous.

$5 gets you a sizable container that wall keep you satisfied for hours.

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.

The comfort of Nonna's gnocchi starting at $5?!

Delicious gnocchi that is soft & pillowy & a hearty portion to boot.

Tomato sauce was a smidge on bitter side but probably just our batch

Still delicious & highly recommended

This place was quite busy when we arrived. We tried the gnocchi with tomato sauce from the takeout window & it was delicious. The gnocchi were soft & pillowy, & the sauce was so good we ended up buying a jar to take home. Simple, comforting, & full of flavour. We will definitely be going back.

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.

The hardest store name to remember but also the easiest to find because when you search up'delicious 5$ gnocchi' Drogheria Fine is the first place that pops up. All year long no matter the weather, when I'm in a rush for a quick meal this place is my first thought. The gnocchis are chewy, plump & everything you can wish for in a comfort meal. The portions are seriously generous + the tomato sauce is always so rich & with little extra cheese it becomes perfection. If you want to feel like you're on cloud nine from the flavours come here. I love this place (& it's vegetarian).

The price is great, that's about the only positive thing about the gnocchi. They're a bit too chewy, like they were overcooked. The sauce is basically chef Boyardee's, its oily, acidic & tastes like basic tomato sauce. The parmesan is not fresh so it smells. Also dislike the chopstick gimmick.
