Moccione concentre sa philosophie culinaire sur la préparation rigoureuse de pâtes italiennes artisanales et les techniques traditionnelles qui définissent les saveurs régionales authentiques. Chaque plat met l'accent sur des ingrédients saisonniers sélectionnés pour souligner le profil naturel de chaque composant tout en maintenant une focalisation sur la simplicité structurelle. La cuisine privilégie l'art mécanique de la production de la pâte pour assurer des textures constantes dans chaque portion de raviolis et de tagliatelles. Ces préparations reposent sur une intervention minimale afin de permettre à la qualité de la farine et des œufs de rester le point focal sensoriel primaire. Une stratégie de menu concise facilite une sélection rotative de plats qui reflètent la disponibilité des récoltes actuelles chez les fournisseurs locaux. Les clients rencontrent une approche méthodique de la cuisine méditerranéenne où la précision technique dicte le résultat de chaque plat servi dans cet espace culinaire spécialisé.

A really fun & pleasant experience. Moccione's atmosphere feels very welcoming & down to earth. Everyone on the staff greeted us with a smile & enthusiasm from the very beginning, which immediately made the experience feel warm & inviting.
I ordered two main courses, one of which was the gnocchi with tomato sauce. The sauce offered a very nice balance of acidity & sweetness. My second course was the highlight of the night. A plate of beef accompanied by a vermouth sauce, corn, & chanterelle mushrooms. The combination was excellent & definitely the standout dish for me. The most expensive dish on the menu, but definitely worth it. I also sampled the arancini apetizer my friend ordered. I'll admit, it remined me of the ones my nonna used to make.
The creamy chocolate dessert, paired with fruit & macadamia nuts, was light & a nice way to end the meal.
I forgot to take pictures of the beef & dessert. I was a little tipsy & having a great time lol.
Very good experience. Was the most recommended place & we were not disappointed. The menu is very well balanced with options. Drinks & food were amazing. We both ordered the lobster campanelle. We could have drank the sauce as a soup it was so good.
Second place I've been to that gives a real cherry. I always order an amaretto sour to try at most restaurants that serve egg whites. It's my go to drink.
Service could be a bit better, we were only offered complementary bread when done our meal & saw that we had lots of sauce. The table next to us were offered it after arriving by the same server. If he would have checked on us with diff timing, more drinks would have been ordered. Dessert was really good!
On a adoré. Elle a pris les gnocchis (les meilleurs de sa vie). J'ai pris les campanelle au homard (délicieux, dans une sauce à base de bisque).
Luca, extrêmement sympathique, est venu jaser & recevoir nos commentaires.
🙌Très belle première expérience! Service chaleureux impeccable. La nourriture était délicieuse! Meilleurs arancini ever, & que dire des pâtes farcies aux morilles & du homard grillé! On nous a apporté suffisamment de foccacia pour ne pas gaspiller les délicieuses sauces qui restaient dans nos assiettes!😋 On nous a proposé des vin nature, & l'accord etait parfait! Le tout avec des prix abordables. Merci pour tout & à bientôt!🙏
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!
After a less satisfying dinner Casavant another night, I reined in my expectation for the dinner at Moccione, but this restaurant delivered on all front. The decor actually look similar to that of Casavant, but bigger with more table seating. Service was miles better with really pleasant staff working together to take care of the guests. The food is very flavorful & generous in portion - beef tarter starter was exceptional, & trout main dish melted on touch. My Guinea fowl main dish was huge, while the game meat was lean & tight, the cavadose sauce along with the variety of vegetables blend so well together, offering a very unique celebration of taste.
Would be on my recommendation list for Montreal.
Went twice & it was undeniably delicious, but a bit pricey & maybe a tad bit overrated. My main disappointment are the portions, maybe I expected more for the price but I understand why it's highly adored, everything is perfectly executed from the sauce to the texture of the fresh pasta... Really can't deny how the flavors were on point, but for the price I am not inclined to go back. (Photos from 2024.)
Bon resto de pâtes, mais qui vaut ni le prix ni le Michelin.
Les entrées sont très bonnes, les pâtes, ben c'est des pâtes avec d'la sauce. Service très rapide au début (avec l'entrée qui arrive en même temps que les cocktails), & très (très très) lent après.
& bruyant!!!
(& mal assis. Ne venez pas à 3, vous aurez la pire table)
Excellent food in a small neighborhood restaurant. They recommend 1 appetizer & 1 main course per person. The crudo was absolutely amazing, & their home made focaccia was well appreciated to soak all the leftover sauce in the plate.
They have a very nice cocktail & wine list that we plan on exploring further during our next visits.
Highly recommended.
