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 praise Moccione as an exceptional Italian restaurant in Montreal, where handmade pasta and fresh ingredients create deeply flavorful dishes and refined textures. Diners highlight standout items like crudo, trout tartare, gnocchi, and a variety of seafood plates, complemented by thoughtful wine and cocktail pairings, though a few desserts and some mains are described as less remarkable and a few dishes feel pricey or portions slightly small. Service is repeatedly described as warm, attentive, and professional, with a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that encourages sharing and savoring multiple courses, and reservations can be hard to obtain. Overall the consensus is that Moccione delivers a memorable dining experience, representing one of the top Italian options in Montreal and a restaurant many guests are eager to return to.
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
Du plat principal jusqu'au dessert, tout était absolument délicieux. Mention spéciale pour le poisson & les pâtes qui m'ont complètement renversé(e) par sa finesse & son originalité. Le service était à la hauteur de la cuisine : attentionné, chaleureux, sans être envahissant.
Un endroit à découvrir (ou redécouvrir) sans hésitation si vous aimez les expériences culinaires authentiques & inspirées. J'y retournerai, c'est certain.
Toujours un grand plaisir d'aller au Moccione! Service impeccable & authentique, plats délicieux & ambiance merveilleuse. Merci pour tous ces beaux moments.

My boyfriend & I loved the night & food, yhe octopus & pasta are soo good. The blonde bartender with tattoos was super kind & had great recc. S. The staff was great, would definitely reccomend for a date night!!
This was hands down the best meal I have ever had. From beginning to end - fair prices, superb food flavour & quality, incredible staff, fun vibe. Only critique is that they are not open for lunch (had to go to Il Miglio instead & get abused), otherwise this is worth a dedicated drive from Toronto.
Keep up the great work!
