A charming and quaint italian restaurant in the Villeray neighbourhood where the atmosphere is joyful and homy. The homemade pasta-focused menu changes seasonally as it highlights the freshest ingredients available. At the head of the kitchen, Luca Cianciulli offers a very italo-montrealer menu based on quality of ingredients, as does true italian cuisine. The wine list, curated by Catherine Picard is constantly evolving along side the menu and leans toward natural selections.
Reviews consistently highlight Moccione as a standout Italian dining spot where homemade pasta and seasonal ingredients shine. Praises focus on generous, flavorful dishes from seafood to pasta, with gnocchi and trout tartare often singled out, and a wine program that complements the menu. Service is repeatedly described as warm, attentive, and efficient, with staff guiding diners through the menu and sharing strong recommendations. While almost all feedback is positive, some mentions of higher prices, smaller portions, and occasional inconsistency in timing or temperature remind that the experience can vary and reservations are advisable. Overall, the dining experience is regarded as memorable, with a charming ambiance, thoughtful touches, and a level of quality that keeps patrons returning.
Un endroit merveilleux, une bonne ambiance, le service est exceptionnel, très bon. La nourriture est très délicieuse & les desserts sont délicatement savoureux & agréables au palais. Sans aucun doute, un repas & une expérience merveilleux, un point supplémentaire pour les boissons sur place. tout simplement délicieux, simple & phénoménal. Fortement recommandé
Now, I have a favorite place in Montreal. The parpadelle was marvelous, the octopus was divine. Way better than other fancy places such as (Vin) Mon Lapin. Service was fine, & it was definitely not as loud as Joe Beef. Can only recommend this place. A gem in Montreal!!!

La nourriture est délicieuse! J'ai mangé les meilleurs arancinis de ma vie! Le service était vraiment bien! Belle nouvelle découverte que je recommande à 100%.
Absolutely great food. Feels like you are in Italy (coming from an European). Service was great & the wine, too. They even made the effort to create a completely new dish, due to an allergy -instead of just taking out the vegetable. Would recommend 100%.
This has become my favorite restaurant in Montreal. The food is absolutely delicious, wine selection is up to par & the service is outstanding. The quality & portions of the food are very good for the price. Highly highly recommend!!!
wow, quel expérience! Nous sommes venues pour notre anniversaire, assises au bar. Service impeccable & très agréable, plusieurs recommandations de la barmaid. Probablement notre meilleure restaurant de ces dernières années. Lorsque nous prenons plusieurs plats ou des menus dégustations , généralement 1ou2 sont un peu en dessous. Ce n'était pas le cas, tout était à la hauteur! Il faut prévoir un beau budget, mais la nourriture est extrêmement bien préparée & délicieuse. De beaux produits, un menu cocktail innovant, un cadre agréable : le parfait endroit pour célébrer !
Great time - the vibe was great, service was on point. Shoutout to the bussers for being super attentive & the server for great recommendations. We canceled last minute on a Saturday & they were able to fit us in for a 90 minute table, & they even asked if we wanted dessert before leaving even though we were at our time limit. Overall great experience, would recommend, will do again.

I recently visited Restaurant Moccione on Saint-Denis Street with my girlfriend, & it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, which made for a very pleasant dining experience. We arrived just 30 minutes after opening, & the place was already full, which was a pleasant surprise. Fortunately, we were able to sit at the bar. We ordered two drinks, & they were excellent. The food arrived incredibly fast, within 15 minutes, which was a nice change from the usual longer waits. We placed our order with the bartender, who was also very attentive in providing suggestions for both drinks & food. Her recommendations were appreciated & added to the overall experience. We highly recommend the dishes we had, & I've included pictures of them in this review. The environment was charming & comfortable, making the entire experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend giving Moccione a try for anyone looking for a great Italian meal in a warm setting.
Honestly one of my best dining experiences ever. We felt a very unpretentious, very warm feeling from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Friendly professional staff in the front & amazing food! As we were eating my wife & I, we were already talking about the fact that we can't wait to come back again to try something else off the menu. Beautiful, delicious dishes that pop both with creativity & flavors. I would have given it a ten star out of five if I could have. A must try restaurant, to try it is to fall in love. Very very highly recommended. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience, see you very soon.
Impeccable service & food. Food was on the saltier/very savoury side. Lots of olives & marinated vegetables in the menu. Favorite dishes were the beef carpaccio, tuna tartare & octopus. Cocktails & mocktails were also delicious. Although everything was great, Moccione is not my fav Italian spot in Montreal... there are too many good resto! Would still recommend- perfect for a cute date, or even for a group dinner with friends or family.
Expérience mémorable hier soir avant le tennis . Assis au bar, nous avons eu des belles conversations avec le staff qui est si gentil & professionnel! Le chef Lucas a pris qq minutes pour nous jaser, on apprécie sa simplicité & sa passion . Nous nous sentions en famille ! Tout était parfait , nourriture très fraîche , originale & parfaitement exécutée! Carte des vins très belle aussi , Nous recommandons sans hésitation 🤩

J'avais de grandes attentes & elles ont été remplies. La nourriture était excellente. En particulier l'entrée de fleur de courgettes & le flanc de porc. À recommander aussi pour les femmes enceintes. Les serveurs sont bien renseignés , les mocktails délicieux & la barmaid a même réussi à m'en faire un qui convenait à mon diabète gestationnel! Un défi de taille.
We had a fantastic experience sitting at the bar, Lori gave us some great recommendations & is a fantastic mixologist. The food was to die for we had stuffed zucchini flowers, carpaccio, mushroom gnocchi, olive oil cake with cream & cherries, as well as the cannoli, which was the best I've ever had. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back.
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant: l'ambiance est superbe, ils lnt une belle terrasse dehors, le service était excellent, tj a l'affût, les plats étaient exquis, très bien exécutés & beaux! Je reviendrai assurément
It was my first time at Moccione & it won't be the last. It was recommended to me by many people & it did not disappoint! The carapaccio is out of this world (a staple on their menu) & the artichoke entre ( a special for this season) was my favourite!
Le staff est sublime. La qualité de chaque service était supérieure ou à la hauteur des attentes. Je vous recommande le carpaccio de boeuf, arancini & le faux filet. Les portions sont généreuses.
