Restaurant italien au milieu de Villeray, festif et chaleureux. Vins soigneusement sélectionnés par Catherine Picard, cocktails délicieux par Lori Chiaradia et cuisine de coeur proposée par les amis de longue date Luca Cianciulli, Gabriel Bisson et Pierre Joubaud. Au plaisir de vous recevoir !
Dans l'ensemble, Moccione est perçu comme une adresse italienne chaleureuse et authentique où les plats faits maison, en particulier les pâtes, les gnocchis et les fruits de mer, se distinguent par leur fraîcheur et leur profondeur de goût; le crudo de pétoncle, le tartare de boeuf, le doré et la pieuvre grillée reviennent souvent en coups de cœur, tout comme les raviolis et le ragù de sanglier. Le service est largement loué pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse et son rythme soigné, avec quelques remarques occasionnelles sur des plats servis tièdes ou sur des détails de service lors d'occasions spéciales. L'ambiance est cosy, vivante et accueillante, idéale pour un repas romantique ou en famille, et la carte des vins et des cocktails est bien cotée. Les tarifs peuvent sembler élevés et certains plats peuvent être gras ou salés, mais l'ensemble de l'expérience est jugé exceptionnelle et digne d'une visite régulière, voire d'une des meilleures expériences italiennes de la ville. En résumé, Moccione offre une expérience culinaire italienne remarquable, inventive et bien exécutée, où la vraie star reste la cuisine et le soin apporté au service, tout en nécessitant parfois une réservation à l'avance et en tolérant que quelques détails ne conviennent pas à tout le monde.
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!
High quality small plates at reasonable prices & paired with excellent service. We tried most of the appetizers & a few main dishes. Our favorites & the ones we would definitely recommend were the crudo, trout tartare, calamari & octopus (& lots of bread, of course).
That said, some dishes were less impressive. The desserts felt lacklustre (cannoli & baba tiramisu) & we didn't enjoy the beef pasta or the cheese arancini.
Overall, a solid experience with standout seafood dishes, though not every item on the menu hit the same level.

Moccione delivers one of those rare experiences where everything feels effortless & magical. The service was absolutely impeccable-warm, attentive, & genuinely passionate about what they do. The food? Simply extraordinary. Every plate was balanced, comforting, & executed with the kind of precision that only comes from real craftsmanship.
The wine selection was perfectly curated, each glass elevating the dishes like a well-rehearsed duet. & the atmosphere… it's pure charm. Cozy, vibrant, & intimate without ever feeling crowded. It felt less like a dinner & more like stepping into a modern Italian fairy tale-one you never want to end.
Highly, highly recommended. One of the best dining experiences in the city.
The food was truly authentic & full of flavor, every dish we tried was top class & clearly made with care.
However, the experience fell a little short on the personal side. We were celebrating our anniversary & had chosen this restaurant for our special day, but unfortunately, there wasn't any acknowledgment or gesture to make the evening feel memorable.
We ordered a bottle of wine & would have really appreciated a small touch, even a simple greeting or a sweet gesture, to make the occasion feel special.
At a charming neighborhood restaurant, especially one recognized in the Michelin Guide & with dishes at a higher price point, that kind of personal touch is something you expect & look forward to.
Overall, the food was excellent, but a bit more attention to the guest experience would have made it truly unforgettable.
If you love inventive Italian dishes, love fresh hand made pasta, love cocktails & are looking for the cozy, warm, lively spot for date night - then stop scrolling & reserve here! ☺?
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.
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 loved this place! Not only were waiters super nice, but they & the kitchen were very accommodating to my allergies. We had the set menu, but they still made a few different dishes to accommodate my restrictions & they were really really fantastic. Worth a try!
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.
Every fish we had here was standout! They have seasonal dishes as well as some year round classics & you can't go wrong with either. We had lobster pasta which was fantastic & I don't think you can go wrong with any of the pasta options. The service is also attentive without being overbearing! Wonderful evening at Moccione, we will definitely be back!
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.
Restaurant Moccione offers an intimate, cozy atmosphere with a menu that blends traditional Italian flavors with modern twists. Known for its attentive service, but the real charm of the restaurant is chef Luca Cianciulli with his exquisite creations. Featuring dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with pasta being a standout. The wine list is well-curated to complement the meals, & the desserts provide a sweet, creative finish. Moccione is a go-to spot for those seeking an authentic yet contemporary Italian dining experience.
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!
If you haven't eaten here yet, what are you waiting for!? The food is phenomenal. Take it from someone who has been time & time again, it's always a 10/10. The dishes are flavourful & good portions. The service is on point. The drinks are great. You can't go wrong coming here. The cannolis are on another level. If I was on death row, I would choose Moccione as my last meal.

Grilled Octopus, Beef Carpaccio, Gnocchi, Straccuatella de Bufflonne, Endives, Scallop Crudo . I have to say that towards the ends of our 2023 my fiance & I both agreed that @moccione.restaurant gave us the best meal of the year & our favourite special occasion dinner that we had shared together to date. We can see why this restaurant is so critically acclaimed online with a 4.8 star ranking with over 640+ reviews all claiming as such. I had been meaning to try Moccione for a number of years now finally took the plunge for my partners birthday & we were absolutely blown away. Located on St Denis street this restaurant has a feel of homeyness with a touch of eligance that has a nice & inviting atmosphere. We wanted to get alot of dishes as it was our first time, the staff there were very knowledgeable about the menu. You can tell they've been there a while & stay for the good vibe. We got alot of there traditional staples like the Octopus, Carpaccio & Gnocchi along with some others that will unfortunately be gone one day & replaced with other amazing dishes. Every course was honestly better then the next, leaving us wanting for more in every bite... We got a total of about 8 dishes that night & a couple of delightful & well balanced cocktails that still leave me speechless. The staff from the bar were also so friendly & really creative with there concoction! 😉 All in all a 11/10 FOODGASMIC 💦 would definitely be back asap!
Their newer location is great, much more space with a great atmosphere. Delicious dishes & some really good unique cocktails, their Negroni with olives is amazing.
Great restaurant! Service was very attentive, friendly & efficient. The food was of high quality & absolutely delicious from start to finish. Both pasta dishes we had were so good & not at all oily or salty as opposed to many other restaurants. To my surprise the calamari was my favourite dish of the night! They were fresh, perfectly cooked & the tomato sauce that came with it just really tied the whole dish together. Cocktails were also impressive & our waitress made great wine recommendations. Overall a great experience & worth the splurge. Would definitely recommend.
It's OK.
Food is not bad, but not enough to justify the price you pay.
(I'm not from Montréal, so this is based on my experience from Italian restaurants in many countries within the same price)
They reuse the same sauces in different dishes, so the flavours are kind of repeated. I feel like for a restaurant in this price range, they could make a bit more effort for the sauces. For this reason, I will not go back until the menu is changed.
My favourite dishes were the gnocchi (7/10) & the pistachio gelato.
I feel a bit bad giving this rating because I LOVE their pizza place.
