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.
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.
Incredible restaurant. The service was excellent, quick & attentive. Every meal was delicious with a good balance of flavor, textures & nice presentations. The grilled octopus was a real delight. It was very lively in the restaurant, but maybe a touch too noisy & I think some curtains or noise attenuation panel could be good.

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!!
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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!
Amazing restaurant. Slight modern take on italian food but still very traditional (full of flavour eith amazing ingredients). Calamari for starters were amazing (not fried!!) & rafu sausage pasta had nice little heat touch. Finally the beef & octopus were both beatifully executed & full of flavour. The mushrooms in the beef dish were something else. Beautiful decor & amazing service. Will go again.

Fabulous experience at Moccione. From the moment we sat down the service was excellent & lots of interesting wines to try by the glass.
Starting with entrees of arancini, calamari in arabiata sauce & zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta was awesome. Pasta dish after was better than any we had in Italy. & finally the grilled octopus was to die for. Cannoli were a superb ending!
All in all an excellent evening & we will definitely be back soon.
