Review Summary

Lucca is widely praised for authentic Italian cooking and a diverse menu that features seafood linguine, duck papardelle, lamb, burrata and classic desserts, with flavors described as balanced and memorable. The service is consistently impeccable and attentive, contributing to a warm and refined dining room that many guests say feels like home. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, with a chalkboard menu and a compact layout that can be bustling and a bit loud at times. While most visits highlight high quality ingredients and carefully prepared dishes, a few experiences mention issues with value or a miscommunication on portions, though these are comparatively rare. Overall, Lucca stands out as one of Montreal's top Italian spots, delivering authentic fare, strong wine selections and a memorable dining experience in the heart of the city.

Chic atmosphere, refined service, & excellent food.

I'm not very used to dining at upscale restaurants here in Montreal yet, but I would confidently recommend this one. It feels like an authentic Italian kitchen, with a well-crafted menu & service that matches the experience.

I ordered the pasta with ragù - excellent. The fried calamari was also very good.

Ask around & you'll hear that this is THE best restaurant in Little Italy. The setting was wonderful, the ambiance was lovely (chic, even), & the maitre d' was exceptional--presenting a dramatic reading of the menu. But the food was disappointing. It was standard (not exceptional), & only one dish (the fried calamari) came out sufficiently hot or sufficiently seasoned. You'll be out of place without a bottle of Acqua Panna on your table, so go for a big night out & expect a hefty tab.

Stopped by during the day to see the menu & inquired about reservation. Advised the chef just arrived & menu is not ready yet. Liked the fact that chef is in charge of me he based on available ingredients of the day. Small & cozy place. Reservation was made for 6 PM with our commitment to leave by 8:30 PM. Seasonally available food was fresh Hence, delicious. Fried calamari was heavenly light & crispy. Fresh figs filled with cheese & wrapped in spam was little salty but coupled with glass of red wine was perfect. Grilled Veal chop with polenta & spinach was juicy & cooked to perfection. Halibut, shrimp combined with fresh grilled asparagus, peppers, zucchini, eggplant & anise was my favorite special of the day. Fish was just grill enough to be moist & delicious. Shrimp was crispy yet not dry. Dessert options sounded good but diet killed the pleasure 😔. Oh well next time

Excellent food, friendly service, great menu choices. We started with fried calamari & grilled octopus. It was fresh & delicious. As for the main course I had the filet mignon it was amazing & my better half had the gnocchi, he loved it, it's handmade by their chef! I recommend this place.
