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.
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 🤩
Incroyable restaurant. Tout est parfait. Nourriture excellente, service impeccable, bons accords & choix de vins & cocktails. Nous y sommes allés plus d'une fois & ça dépasse toujours nos attentes.
Very delicious & innovative food, need to book at least 14 days in advance. We ordered two appetizers, two main dishes & a dessert & it was more than enough!
Tellement une belle expérience culinaire! Merci à toute l'équipe pour la belle soirée, nous nous sommes régalés! Belle sélection de vin au verre aussi 👌coup de coeur pour les pâtes maison (évidemment) & l'assiette de carpaccio.
WoW WoW WoW! La nourriture était plus qu'excellente & le service impeccable! Notre serveur nous as très bien expliqué & conseiller sur le vin ainsi que le menu! Coup de coeur : le dessert chou à la pistache avec une gelato qui goûte le ciel!

I was wondering what I would do about the 4 star vs 5 star debate here. I would have given this 4.5 had we been allowed half stars. As I am writing this I see that the current rating is 4.8, which is way too high in my opinion. So I will stand by 4, the food was good, but there was nothing exceptional especially considering the price point. There were four of us, the service was amicable but not out of this world & I felt that we waited way too long for our wine especially considering that we ordered it before ordering the food. So I get it it's Luca from Les Chefs & that's why most people want to try the restaurant, but you will not be flagger blasted, certainly not above a 4.5. Personally I wouldn't plan on going back unless someone else planned it, but I live 15 Uber minutes away. Lots of other options at this price point.
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.
Came here really excited for the food based on the highly rated reviews. Service & the ambiance is on point - vibey for date night. The appetizers were delicious & well seasoned but I think they were actually better than the mains. We've had a lot of great pastas (toronto & italy) & these were decent but nothing really blew us away. The selection for pasta was rather slim. We ordered the scallop crudo, the beef carpaccio, the maccheroni lobster pasta & the sausage olive ragu. The dessert was bomb though - must try the raspberry pistachio icecream choux! All in all, great portion sizes too. Happy to have tried the place!
Nous connaissions Moccione de réputation. Nous sommes tombés sous le charme de Luka à l'émission Les Chefs. & ce soir nous avons vécu une expérience culinaire hors du commun. Tout est parfait. Merci à toute l'équipe.

J ai adoré du début à la fin ambiance, cuisine & service était à la hauteur. Petit bemol la terrasse qui n est pas à la hauteur de la qualité du reste de cette établissement. Bravo pour cette bel adresse à Montréal
La perfection était au rendez-vous ! Magnifique soirée sous la direction du chef Gabriel & le service de Maryse. La fraîcheur & la qualité de notre repas fut une expérience culinaire de haut niveau 😃. Merci au Moccione pour cette soirée.
