Le restaurant Lucca à Petite Italie vous propose une cuisine Italienne gastronomique du marché. Parmi les spécialités de la maison, on retrouve les calmars frits servis avec une sauce aïola, filet mignon, côte de veau grillée, risotto, pâtes, fruits de mer et poissons frais.
Lucca est largement salué pour sa cuisine italienne authentique et une carte variée qui comprend des linguines aux fruits de mer, des pappardelles au canard et de l'agneau, avec des desserts classiques qui restent équilibrés et mémorables. Le service est impeccablement attentif et l'ambiance chaleureuse et raffinée est souvent décrite comme conviviale. L'atmosphère peut être intime et animée à la fois; l'établissement est petit, ce qui peut rendre l'expérience un peu bruyante lors des heures d'affluence. Si de nombreuses visites louent la qualité des ingrédients et des plats bien exécutés, certains reprochent un rapport qualité-prix ou des incohérences occasionnelles. Dans l'ensemble, Lucca est considéré comme l'une des meilleures tables italiennes de Montréal, offrant une expérience authentique et de bonnes options de vin dans le quartier.
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).

I chose this restaurant on December 20th 2025 for my birthday celebration after hearing many positive things about it as an authentic Italian spot. We were seated at table #43. Overall, the general atmosphere was pleasant & the food itself was excellent.
Unfortunately, the experience was soured at the end when we received the bill. We were charged for the large linguini portion, even though the waiter never asked which portion size we wanted. What made this particularly disappointing is that we clearly overheard the same waiter explicitly asking the table next to us which portion size they preferred.
I brought this up to the waiter, but nothing was done to address the issue.
It left a bitter taste at the end of what was meant to be a birthday celebration. Service should be consistent across all tables-if portion size is asked of one customer, it should be asked of all, rather than assumed. Sadly, because of this experience, I won't be returning.
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.
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.

Super bonne surprise!! C'est vrai qu'on peut s'attendre à manger de bons plats italiens dans la Petite Italie, mais on se s'attendait pas à une telle justesse cuisson / sauces / saveurs. À tester sans hésiter!!
Nous sommes venus un vendredi soir pour la première fois au restaurant Lucca.
Nous avons passé un excellent moment.
Notre repas était délicieux, & nous avons beaucoup apprécié les vins.
Cette expérience n'aurait pas été la même sans notre serveur Mike qui y est pour beaucoup! Service très chaleureux, attentionné & de très belles suggestions de vins.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter!
A renowned artist & friend, DJ Ricky Campanelli recommended this restaurant for my anniversary. My wife & I are from Ontario & I've got to say, this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Food was incredible & the service was on point. Can't wait to come back here.
