Located in the heart of Montreal's charming Little Italy district, the Restaurant Lucca serves market-fresh Italian cuisine. Lucca specializes in a wide range of fine gourmet dishes like fresh pasta (a popular choice: seafood linguine), seafood, risotto, veal chops, filet mignon and grilled fish. Lucca details its menu on a chalkboard since the dishes change according to market availability.
Reviews describe Lucca as an authentic upscale Italian spot in Little Italy where guests celebrate fresh pasta, seafood and meat dishes, a warm, convivial atmosphere, and service that many find attentive and knowledgeable. Standout selections often mentioned include seafood linguine, octopus, lamb chops, pappardelle, and the house bread, with tiramisu and pistachio ice cream noted for dessert and a well curated wine list praised for pairing with the menu. The setting is described as cozy and refined, sometimes bustling or tightly spaced, with reservations suggested to avoid delays. While the overall impression is highly favorable and Lucca is regarded among the citys best Italian restaurants, a few reviews point to occasional inconsistencies in service or value, such as billing for larger portions without clear consent or meals that are lukewarm. Taken together, the reviews portray Lucca as a top choice for authentic Italian cuisine in Montreal, delivering high quality flavors, a strong wine program, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites repeat visits.
Très beau restaurant de gastronomie italienne. Les choix sont excellents, les saveurs, les choix de viande, les pâtes... tout est préparé avec soin pour vous procurer une expérience gustative de classe. Il faut toutefois payé le prix. Un grand choix de vin de 65$-800$. L'excellent service dans un beau décor. Le restaurant est petit, les tables sont serrées ce qui ajoute à l'ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande pour les événements spéciales. Des stationnements sur la rue sont disponibles par parcomètres. N'est pas recommandé à mon avis avec des enfants car le menu n'est pas adapté pour cette clientèle.
Dinner with my son at Lucca was excellent from the start to end. The atmosphere is delightful. There are table cloths. I love that. The waiter was just the right amount of attentive. He explained the menu & gave us just enough time to make our decisions. The food was delicious. We usually don't get dessert of coffee in restaurants. Generally really good food means not so great coffee & dessert. Lucca defies that with delicious dessert & good espresso. Highly recommended.
Incredible restaurant! The food, service, & ambiance overall made for the best rainy day lunch. Shout of to Fabio for the awesome espresso martinis & terrific service!
Holy cow the food here was delicious! The seafood linguine was off the charts & the noodles were by far the best I've ever tasted before. Definitely recommend this place!
Une des meilleurs table pour la cuisine authentique Italienne à Montréal des aliments de saison cuisiné à l'italienne avec service familiale de Danny qui a pris soins de nous depuis notre arrivée & cela tout au long du repas le coeur de la soirée les calamarie & le gelato au pistache une très belle ambiance familiale
The service, food & atmosphere were perfect. Anthony picked the perfect wine to accompany our excellent dishes. I strongly recommend the espresso martini as a cocktail. The appetizers, fig filled with cheese & wrapped in prosciutto, was amazing ss was the Burretta & pomodoro tomato. The gnocchi was the best I've ever had. My partners tagliatelle with lamb ragu was exceptional.
