This was my second time dining at Lucca's, & the food has been solid & consistent over the years. I always take the opportunity to order an octopus appetizer when they have one on the menu, & it was cooked perfectly once again. Both pasta dishes that were ordered for the main course were excellent as well.

I highly recommend Lucca's to anyone looking for an intimate dining room, a cozy atmosphere, & consistently good food.

Delicious food & wonderful service. The lamb chops were amazing & the spanakopita was lovely. The Greek salad was very large & not shy on the feta cheese. Very good & I highly recommend!

I randomly chose an Italian restaurant in Little Italy & stumbled upon Lucca. I have to say that it was beyond my expectations & according to my father who is here on vacation from Australia, it was one of the best Italian cuisine he ever tasted. We had calamari fritti, linguini di mare & grilled veal steak. Exceptional. I overheard the next table comment on the calamari: best tasting calamari ever, crunchy on the outside involving a tasty & soft calamari in the inside. We had tiramisu & pistachio ice-cream for dessert. The ice-cream was top... so creamy & rich in pistachio flavor. Truly taste like premium homemade & not commercial type of ice-cream. The service was friendly & I recommend to make a booking as it filled up in the Thursday evening. I was lucky to have a table without reservation.

We had a FANTASTIC dinner at Lucca! A friend had recommended the restaurant to me & it did not disappoint. The server was attentive & professional & courses & drinks arrived in a timely fashion. The food was sublime (particularly the gnocchi!) & the cocktails delicious. The vibe was lively & the restaurant was packed all night. Five stars without a doubt & will definitely be back!!

I've been coming to this Italian restaurant for over 10 years, & it has always been outstanding. The food is consistently delicious, the service is excellent, & their imported Sicilian wines are absolutely exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine & a great dining experience

Lucca in Little Italy was our first dinner in Montréal. It set the bar high for everything that followed.

The place was packed on arrival - reservation recommended. The menu is concise & confident, with daily specials worth paying attention to.

We started with three appetizers. The calamari was crispy with the perfect crunch - a strong opener. The grilled octopus was well executed, cut & served over a purée. Delicious, though I would have loved more octopus & less accompaniment. The standout of the three was the zucchini blossoms - a daily special, filled with creamy ricotta. Heavenly bites that only appear in spring. Order them without hesitation if they're on.

For mains, the lamb chops surprised me. I don't typically enjoy lamb - the gamey taste usually puts me off. Not here. Beautifully cooked, incredibly flavourful, & not a trace of gaminess. A genuine convert moment. We also shared a half order of the seafood linguine - perfectly cooked pasta with shrimp, scallops, & mussels. Exactly what it should be.

Dessert was the tiramisu & pistachio gelato. The gelato in particular - rich, creamy, & the kind of thing you'll think about all summer.

An incredible meal from start to finish. Lucca is a must when visiting Montréal.

My partner & I went to Lucca as a Reddit recommendation & it was great! We were visiting Montreal & it was by far the best meal we had. The service was top notch & the pasta was so fresh. Would definitely recommend the gnocchi! We also had a bottle of wine to pair & it was delightful. Will be back when we visit Montreal again. Thanks again for a wonderful meal & service!
