On a adoré. Elle a pris les gnocchis (les meilleurs de sa vie). J'ai pris les campanelle au homard (délicieux, dans une sauce à base de bisque).
Luca, extrêmement sympathique, est venu jaser & recevoir nos commentaires.
Incredible pasta & delicious Italian dishes, we tried the gnocchi, the tonarelli, a couple entrees & the beef with vermouth sauce & all of it was amazing, the staff was nice & kind with excellent recommendations on food & wine, overall an amazing evening & will definitely be back!
Nous sommes allés pour la fête de ma conjointe. La nourriture est excellente. Nous avons pris le tartare de truite, les gnocchis aux champignons sauvages & en plat principal le doré & la pieuvre grillée.

The service & food were great until we got our mains. The mains arrived at our table warm at best. The gnocchi was also very greasy but our kids were hungry so we just kept their meals. I took 2 bites of the fish & told the waitress that it was barely warm. They took it back & when they brought it back a few minutes later, they told me they reheated the plate. The fish was now broken into flakes & 3/4 of it was gone. We told them this was really strange & (for 44$) expected them to cook a new plate...& what happened to the rest of the fish? They didn't offer to make a new plate, they just said that if we weren't happy they'd take the plate away which they did. They eventually came back & said they wouldn't charge me for the plate which went without saying, considering I hadn't eaten anything. Not the type of service you'd expect considering the prices they charge.
Super soirée chez Moccione! Les serveurs sont hyper sympathiques, expliquent le menu avec soin & conseillent de tout partager, ce qui est génial. Les plats arrivent un à un, avec des assiettes pour chacun, parfait pour goûter ensemble, la meilleure façon de déguster! Le repas est accompagné d'une belle carte de vins qui sublime chaque plat. On a commencé avec un tartare de boeuf, hyper bon & rafraîchissant, suivi des arancini, un régal. Ensuite, les pâtes maison, comme les gnocchis & celles au sanglier, étaient savoureuses. On peut aussi ajouter une assiette de protéines, comme du poisson ou la viande du moment. Le gâteau à l'huile d'olive surprend sur le menu - ça semble étrange, mais c'est léger & délicieux, essayez-le! On m'a dit que les cannoli maison sont à ne pas manquer, ce sera pour ma prochaine visite! Ambiance chaleureuse. À refaire!
Absolutely incredible! We had the calamari, lobster risotto special & the gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were also so friendly it made the experience even better! Can't wait to return
- petoncle crudo nothing special i understand if its plain to focus on fresh petoncle but then throw another scallppon the piatti
- ?gnocchi funghi pecorino wayyyy too heavy the gnocchi itself very good texture but too much going on in plate
- ?fish of the day too spicy & coulda cooked the same thing at home
-menu not diverse enough
Great experience overall! Lovely vibe, service, people are nice, but the food perhaps didn't match the hype. Fried fish it self was great, but the mayo sauce was way too acidic; it eclipsed the rest. The squash was very tasty, probably the best dish that night in terms of overall execution. Well balanced & fun smoky flavours with light acidity from the mayo. Focaccia was great, but very small portions. The gnocchi was delicious, great flavour. But the issue was textural. I could feel the grain of the Parmesan, & when the gnocchi is soft, it kind of goes against the dish. Octopus was very filling & a good portion, but it was a slightly overcooked. The olive oil cake was wow! Loved it!!! Overall, had a great time! Small hiccups here & there, but I think I'd return.
