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.
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.
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%
Belle expérience culinaire raffinée... à un prix très élevé. Les spiritueux & les vins sont à prix exorbitants. Dommage que les serveurs n'ont aucune connaissance des vins qu'ils servent. La salle à manger est très petite... donc les tables sont serrées les unes des autres ce qui fait que l'ambiance est nul. Le service est compétent... mais un peu trop impersonnel sans sourire. Après deux visites à ce resto, je n'y retournerai plus.

I had the spinach & cheese ravioli here & it was to die for. Fresh pasta, fresh spinach, all homemade & fresh ingredients & you can really tell the difference. Everyone in our group loved their meals. It was so delicious. Lovely warm, intimate ambiance as well & excellent service. Looking forward to the next time I eat here!
Cu fut un souper extraordinaire pour les amateurs de vrais mets italiens !!! Si un simple plat de pates a la sauce aux tomates est bonne cela veut tout dire !!! Le poisson & les viandes avec une cuisson parfaite, de bons vins pour les connaisseurs & de tres bons desserts. Vous pouvez demander de mixer les plats pour gouter a tous sur le menu... Les serveurs sont tres courtois & serviables. J'ai goute a la meilleure sauce aux tomates en ville! C'est un petit restaurant mais la qualite de ses des plats sont sublimes!
This is my go to restaurant whenever I want to celebrate something special; I've never been disappointed with the food or the service. The staff is very friendly & they take the time to explain each dish in detail.
The atmosphere is great, especially considering that the actual menu is written daily on a chalkboard, it's always interesting to see what's new.
My favorite dish has to be the linguine seafood, can't go wrong with that; I would also recommend reserving around 6:00 pm being that the restaurant can get pretty busy at a later time;
Have fun :)

Mmm...understated elegance I would say. Although on the pricier side, we enjoyed a light beet salad with goat cheese, pine nuts...very nice. But what had the most bite, was the amazing veal chop. I'd say one of the best I've had yet. I would definetly go back, it's that memorable.
La cuisine est recherché; la liste des vins également. Mais l'atmosphère, à mon sens, est très désagréable: nouveau riche, Mafioso, tout ce qui crie, hurle & aime se faire voir.
