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.
Wow ,nous avons été comblés par l'excellente bouffe,les saveurs comme en Italie,des desserts exceptionnels. Le service est attentionné &.sympatique Déjà hâte d'y retourner. Grazie mille
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!!!
A1 service A1 ingredients quality A1 ambiance A1 wine list It's all about the IMPECCABLE service & the real authentic italian cuisine with amazing homemade pasta Do. Not. Miss. Probably the best Italian restaurant in all of Montreal & now one of my favorite restaurant in all of Montreal too I will go back as often as possible Prices are competitive too for that quality of food & service
Les plats que j'ai choisi étaient très bons. Les ingrédients étaient frais. Les pâtes délicieuses. À ma grande surprise, j'ai bien aimé le mocktail/slush au panplemousse/basilic. Excellent service. C'est certain que je vais y retourner.
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.

Pasta is the star here. Outstanding service & food, well suited for either a date or dinner with friends. 1 appetizer + 1 main dish is plenty of food for 1 person, & all dishes can be easily shared. It's a bit on the cozy / casual side & it wears its atmosphere really well, but do not expect the chic quietness of an upscale French restaurant.
Impeccable ! Tout était parfait ! L'ambiance, le service, le personnel très gentil, l'endroit, la suggestion de vin & la nourriture qui était succulente À chaque assiette, c'était un régal ! Un petit coup de coeur pour les artichauts Merciiii !
Je trouve le resto superbe! Très belle expérience, j'avais du mal à choisir parmi le menu tellement j'avais envie de tout en en prime, c'était vraiment vraiment délicieux. Pas déçue du tout de ce resto, courez-y!
Delicious food (the Crudo & the Gnocchi were absolutely amazing!) & the staff are so welcoming. A cozy & intimate Italian restaurant with truly a lovely ambiance - great for a date or small groups. Easily my new favorite place in the neighborhood!

One of my best culinary experiences in Montreal. Worth every penny, the food is absolutely amazing, like eyes shut savouring every bite good, the service is friendly & efficient, the vibe is welcoming & non-pretentious, my favourite type of restaurant where you can have a great evening & eat the best food ever.
My wife & I dined with another couple, We ordered the calmars arrabiata, fried halibut, artichokes, cassarecce, gnocchi, & octopus. Everything was incredible. Really spectacular. Very friendly & attentive service, this restaurant is a MUST all year round. Will be coming back soon
Quelle belle soirée au Moccione. Service impeccable & attentionné, sans être trop intrusif. Nous n'avons pas pris de cocktails, mais ils avaient l'air délicieux par leur composition originale & visiblement appréciés de la clientèle, car le shaker n'arrêtait pas de shaker!!! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse & les techniques très bien maîtrisées. Une mention spéciale aux agnoletti & aux gnocchi. Simplicité & grande qualité des ingrédients authentiques sont en partie le secret de ce restaurant sans prétention. On peut constater que cette équipe travaille comme une famiglia pour le client ❣️ Ambiance un peu bruyante , mais bon, c'est comme ça quand toute la famiglia se réuni dans la cucina ! 🤷🏼♂️ On y retourne c'est certain.
Nous avons commandé deux plats de pâtes, celle du jour & celle à la bolognaise & les deux étaient vraiment délicieux quoique les portions quand même petites pour le prix de l'assiette. Le Mocktail au gin maison était vraiment délicieux. Un petit bémol serait probablement la foccacia qui ne ressemblait pas vraiment à une foccacia. C'était plus des bouts de pain maigres & sec. Autrement, notre serveuse au bar était super sympathique, nous avons eu un excellent service. Pour terminer, le dessert à l'huile d'olive était bon, sans plus, & il y avait beaucoup trop de sauce dans le fond de l'assiette. Super expérience quand même & le décor est tres charmant! Je reviendrai

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%.
Would say amazing experience at here. All dishes is just fantastic:) beef cappacio,grilled eggplant, fried fish were both quite yummy. I want get back there to try some more other dishes
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!!!
