I had heard of Drogheria Fine and its $5 gnocchi long before I moved into the Mile End, and when I arrived, it was one of the first places I visited.
Always served to-go, it’s not uncommon to spot line-ups huddled around Drogheria Fine’s window to eat their gnocchi with chopsticks out of oyster pails. The menu couldn’t be simpler: gnocchi, spicy or not, with the option of extra cheese, all served from a large bubbling cauldron of the shop’s original export of homemade tomato sauce.
The verdict: It’s perfectly fine gnocchi, but it makes an absolute killing, so much so that public trash cans in a three-block radius are often filled to overflowing with Drogheria’s takeout containers.
