Since then folks have travelled from near and far to grab a jar of its famed pasta sauce. This special sauce is the only product that Drogheria Fine actively promotes. Yet, they have shown that what they lack in variety, they make up for in quality! The specialty store has under ten products and all of them are based off the prized pasta sauce. Which is titled \u201cLa Salsa Della Nonna.\u201d This quite literally translates to \u201cGrandmas Sauce\u201d and is owner Franco Grattuso\u2019s family recipe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/photo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2301 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/photo-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"photo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><\/a><em>Photo by\u00a0Isma\u00ebl Ulvik<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When walking into the tiny shop visitors are instantly greeted with a tantalizing aroma and some tomato eye candy. Customers are able to see the sauce being prepared in the back room, pots\u2019n\u2019all! The small shop can give off a minimalist appearance with only a few jars on the shelves. However, this is due to customers buying the sauce faster than they can stock it, rather than an offbeat design choice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/sauce_edited.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2296 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/sauce_edited-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"sauce_edited\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAfter meeting Franco it quickly becomes clear that he is the godfather of Montreal pasta sauce. He explained to us\u00a0 \u201cWith Drogheria I&#8217;m continuing the history of my culture and of the history of Montreal culture.\u201d Franco used to disperse his famed sauce from his own restaurant \u201cIl Piatto della Nonna.\u201d However he departed from the busy restaurant industry and chose to focus on dispersing his sauce at a retail level. Thus, Drogheria Fine was born!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Pasta2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2303 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Pasta2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pasta2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe shop is located directly next door to the world famous Fairmont bagel. Franco told us that he likes having Fairmont as a neighbours because \u201cthe light&#8217;s always on and they have great clientele.\u201d Who would have thought such a partnership could exist between bagels and tomato sauce?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Pasta3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2304 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/localmontrealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Pasta3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pasta3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSo if you find yourself in the neighbourhood be sure to pop into Drogheria Fine. Have a chat with Franco, enjoy the traditional ambience, and pick up some of his exceptional pasta sauce. You&#8217;d better go before it&#8217;s sold out!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>68 Fairmount Street W<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>514-588-7477<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #231335;\">Check out more from Madeleine Lahaie @\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.MadeleineLahaie.com%20\">www.MadeleineLahaie.com\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tiny, cozy, authentic Italian shop on Fairmount serves up some of the city&#8217;s best pasta sauce.
