Luciano Trattoria comes across as a cozy, high quality Italian spot with handmade pasta and precise execution that shines in dishes like cacio e pepe, polpettes, gnocchi, carpaccio and osso buco, paired with a strong wine list and attentive service. Reviews describe a warm, welcoming atmosphere perfect for dates or catching up with friends, and many call it one of the best Italian experiences in Montreal, a hidden gem that feels true to Italian roots, while a few note high prices for relatively small portions and a noisier room. Taken together, the consensus is that the food is fresh and flavorful, the cooking authentic, and the overall experience memorable enough to return.
This is easily one of the top Italian restos in Montreal - every dish is executed perfectly. The mushroom ravioli in sage butter was incredible & so was the veal ragu pasta. The caccio e pepe was also good but the other two stole the show. Even the complimentary bread was fantastic. Definitely pricey but that's the price to pay for perfectly cooked pasta with excellent service. Will definitely be back.

Les meilleurs pâtes que j'ai trouvé ENFIN. Après près de 10 ans de recherches & beaucoup de sorties dans les restaurants italiens les plus réputés de Montréal je peu enfin dire que j'ai trouvé les meilleures pâtes. Simplicité, fraîcheur des ingrédients & savoir-faire traditionnel. Le service est impeccable, le restaurant pas trop bruyant & sans prétention. Si on réserve d'avance, on peut choisir l'heure à laquelle on veut manger (pas obligé de manger au premier ou au deuxième service, on peut choisir de manger à 19:30 si ça nous convient). Les portions ne sont pas trop copieuses, ce qui nous permet de goûter à tout. Je recommande à tous!
A gem for fresh pasta lovers! 🍝 Despite their limited menu options, they needn't offer more to showcase their excellence. Possibly the best pasta spot in Montreal. The wait can be a bit longer than other places, but it's worth it because everything is made fresh. The portion sizes are just right, although I wouldn't mind if they were a bit bigger because the pasta is so good. 🥗 The salad might seem a bit pricey at first glance, but let me tell you, the lettuce they serve is out of this world! I'm not sure what they do to it, but it's inexplicably delicious. In summary, it's an incredible spot that I undoubtedly want to revisit time & time again.
Absolute gem. Brilliant restaurant. Service was on point, so warm but professional at the same time. The menu is small, almost hyperfocused. I tried the braised duck parpadelle which was new addition to the menu & it was divine! The texture was so captivating, the quality of the ingredients used really shone through in the flavours. Portion was light & but the prices were justified purely by the quality. They offered some delicious bread to start as well. Keep up the great work over there!
Everything I was looking for in an Italian restaurant. Food was great, prepared with care & attention to detail. The experience reminded me of when I was in Italy. Servers were very attentive as well.

Quel dommage... Le pire: Une entrée de salade (20$) composée que de laitue romaine (rien d'autre - aucun condiment). Une portion de pâtes Cacio E Pepe plutôt minimaliste... Un bloody ceasar dans un petit verre avec aucun condiment. Même si le chef est excellent, il y a des limites. Parfois l'habitude & les souvenirs de longues dates nous font oublier la nouvelle réalité. Quand on ne se préoccupe plus de ce que fait la compétition & qu'on ne se compare plus... Prendre ses clients pour acquis en 2024 ce n'est pas une bonne idée. Dommage, j'adorais ce resto mais la salade à 20$ m'a restée dans la gorge.

Une de nos place préféré a Montréal, nous sommes de Lavaltrie Lanaudière alors entre 45-60 de route pour se rendre mais a chaque fois que nous le faisons nous sommes bien heureux de notre soirée. Le menu change pas souvent mais a tout les semaine il y a une entrée 2 choses de différentes, plat principal ou entrée. Les polpettes sont un must, difficile d'en manger ailleurs après ceux ci, molles & riches en saveur, sauces tomates faite maison est dure a battre. Osso Bucco sur lit de pâtes fond dans la bouche, salade vert pour enlever la culpabilité des pates lol. Spécial du jour pates à la pieuvre épicé, Le veau à $62 peux paraître dispendieux mais après une première boucher, tout est compris. Nochi aux fromages bleu sur le dessus, pour ceux comme moi qui n'aiment pas le gout du bleu, faite part de courage, c'est la seul place ou je mange ca. Doux est léger, ne prend pas tout la place.... juste parfait comme le reste du repas. environ 6-8 fois par année pour nous, toujours un achat de 24 bouteilles de sauce tomates Luciano a notre départ, cette sauce est du "Liquid gold" Bonne appétit les amis !!
