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.

Mouthwatering dishes, quality fine dining with impeccable service. Our table enjoyed a family style feast- burrata Mozzarella, seafood linguine, duck papardelle pasta, lamb, creme brule & tiramisu....& a lovely wine. Every single bite was delicious. Highly recommend.

Situated in Little Italy, Lucca is an authentic upscale Italian restaurant. It's busy, cozy, & tightly packed; even with a reservation, there was a 10 minutes short wait. The menu lives on a chalkboard, the tables are closely staged, & the small bar stands nicely at the back of the restaurant. The server took the time to answer any questions we had from the menu.
We ordered the off-board special Antipasti. The octopus came tender, paired with fresh fennel, onion, bell pepper & cucumber, grounded by a grainy chickpea purée. Better still were the baked figs stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in bacon: tenderly sweet, salty & memorably unique (I loved it!).
For mains, the meat pasta of the week (pasta ragu della settimana) delivered ribbons of fresh fettuccine tangled with boar (!), spinach, & mushrooms in a hopefully homemade tomato sauce. The seafood linguine went all in on sea-saltiness, with a generous amount of mussels, clams, shrimps & scallops (& capers & pepper). Very savory!
Taste-wise, Lucca would be ranked on my top restaurants in Montreal :) (I might be a little biased tho cuz Italian food is my fave).
10 out of 10. Visited from Toronto on a Monday night & felt like we'd been admitted to a secret society. Had the seafood linguini & wild boar tagliatelle..Both were perfect: refined & elegant & as good as any we have ever had. If you cant give this place 5 stars I don't know what's left.
Food: med, nothing special, only high note for calamari. Seafood pasta in white sauce is 7/10. Service: professional but not warm & welcoming. Cozy vibe for family.
Seafood linguine is well-regarded & I vouch. Muscles are the star of the show - smooth & buttery. If you judge an Italian restaurant by its olive oil, I give it an 8.5/10. Red sauce in my appetizer was nice. Calamari was very good.
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!
