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.
I love everything here. The food is incredible! Been here twice already & I couldn't get enough of the gnocchi. The waiters are also really nice & the overall atmosphere is lively & warm.

Amazing food & pristine service. Very cozy atmosphere. Perfect location for lunch, dinner with friends or colleagues, or a romantic date night. Would not recommend for young kids.
La nourriture est absolument exquise & le service est excellent. Les calmars étaient très bons. J'ai pris l'assiette de Gnocchi ( je les ai demandé sans pancetta, & le chef a mis à la place du champignon sans que je demande & ce fut une belle surprise parce que j'adore les champignons, j'étais même déçu qu'il n'y ait pas de plat aux champignons ... alors c'était une belle surprise d'en trouver dans mon assiette!! ) les gnocchi fondaient dans la bouche & la sauce au pesto était divine ( best gnocchi I ever had) Mon ami a pris l'assiette de poisson & crevette & il a adoré également. Je ne suis pas fan de tiramisu mais celui qui est servi à Lucca est excellent & que dire de leur crème glacée aux pistaches ( du pure bonheur ) . L'ambiance est belle, très classe & chaleureux comme resto.
Ristorante Lucca , L' Italia in tavola L'istinto mi ha portata qui e non ho sbagliato. Antony e il suo gruppo rappresentano perfettamente l'immagine dell'Italia nel mondo. Ogni piatto è una tavolozza di colori e sapori. Esperienza perfetta!

Restauration Italienne de haut niveau. C'est un peu cher mais les plats & la carte des vins sont à la hauteur. Comme le service. La salle est uste un peu trop bruyant.
This was truly a culinary delight. After every bite I had to take a deep breath to fully appreciate the experience. Paula was our server & made our anniversary one for the record books. This was easily the highlight of our Montreal weekend, & I can't thank you all enough.
In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Montreal. Not just for the food (which is impeccable), but also for the service, the atmosphere, the wine selection, the drinks & the desserts (chocolate foundant is my favorite). This is one of those restaurants where you tip happily because you're extremely well looked after. Sitting at the bar is also an incredible experience. If you're from Montreal or are visiting the city, make a reservation & don't miss this restaurant. You won't regret it!
Très bonne cuisine & service attentionné. Bel endroit, cuisine ouverte & à l'échelle humaine. Toujours un plaisir dans l'ambience du marché Jean Talon.
Tres bonne expérience… le restaurant est un peu petit & on est à l’étroit mais ça ne change rien à la qualité du service & du repas….. je recommande a 100%
