Very good experience. Was the most recommended place & we were not disappointed. The menu is very well balanced with options. Drinks & food were amazing. We both ordered the lobster campanelle. We could have drank the sauce as a soup it was so good.
Second place I've been to that gives a real cherry. I always order an amaretto sour to try at most restaurants that serve egg whites. It's my go to drink.
Service could be a bit better, we were only offered complementary bread when done our meal & saw that we had lots of sauce. The table next to us were offered it after arriving by the same server. If he would have checked on us with diff timing, more drinks would have been ordered. Dessert was really good!
Quelle belle expérience! Depuis le temps que nous souhaitions y aller, ce fut mémorable de l'entrée au dessert. Dès le début, l'équilibre des saveurs, parfums & textures était merveilleux. Les pétoncles avec une émulsion dont je ne me rappelle plus des détails était d'une fraîcheur très agréable. La fleur de zucchini panées, farcies au fromage, fondait dans la bouche. Pour les pâtes farcies aux poissons, c'était aussi succulent. Elle étaient parfaitement assaisonnées & relevées exactement à mon goût. Enfin, le boeuf & calmars sont venus combler cette succession de savoureux plats. Une viande goûteuse comme je l'aime dans un petit bouillon qui donnait le goût d'y tremper son pain.
Pour terminer, les canoli craquant sous la dent, contenait une cerise remplie de goût nous laissait espérer en trouver une autre. Ça valait déplacement! Merci à Moccione. Service impeccable & efficace. Courtois, ils ont bien adapté le repas à la dernière minute pour des végétariens dans le groupe.

L'expérience chez Moccione est toujours tout simplement WoW ! Le service, l'ambiance & le menu sont exceptionnels. Je recommande l'entrée de tartare de truite, les pâtes en plat principal & le gâteau à l'olive pour le dessert. Bon appétit !
High quality small plates at reasonable prices & paired with excellent service. We tried most of the appetizers & a few main dishes. Our favorites & the ones we would definitely recommend were the crudo, trout tartare, calamari & octopus (& lots of bread, of course).
That said, some dishes were less impressive. The desserts felt lacklustre (cannoli & baba tiramisu) & we didn't enjoy the beef pasta or the cheese arancini.
Overall, a solid experience with standout seafood dishes, though not every item on the menu hit the same level.
