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!

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.

Lucca is truly a place where you get what you pay for - quality fish, meat, pasta, & impeccable service. After visiting for the second time, it has officially earned a spot as one of my top Italian restaurants for fish & pasta.

The service is consistently spot-on: attentive, welcoming, & always ready to enhance the dining experience. Yet, it's the food that speaks volumes. From the moment you taste the in-house bread, you know you're in trouble - it's so good you'll want to eat it all.

The crispy, tender calamari tastes incredibly fresh, & the house-made pappardelle is paired thoughtfully with its accompaniments. The cioppino was so flavorful I could have ordered a cup of the broth to go, while the lamb chops were cooked to absolute perfection. Every sauce tasted as fresh as possible, elevating each dish.

Lucca has become my go-to spot when I'm craving authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine. & don't skip dessert - the homemade tiramisu & pistachio ice cream are simply to die for.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Best grilled octopus I've had in the city thus far, & the lamb chops were some of the best I have tried as well.

The grilled octopus with a hint of mint on a chickpea puree was delicious. We also had the salmon tartare which was amazing. & the star of the show was the delectable lamb chops!
