Absolutely incredible experience at Mucca!
This Italian steakhouse completely exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing - every bite was bursting with flavor & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The steak was perfectly cooked & paired beautifully with traditional Italian sides. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was top-notch. I had so much fun & left feeling full, happy, & already thinking about my next visit. Highly recommend Mucca if you're looking for a memorable dining experience!View more

Nestled in little Italy, this restaurant is a true gem worth discovering. They serve exquisite, locally-sourced, fresh, top quality, & well-prepared dishes. Everything is made in-house, even the bread & gelato. The beef is grass-fed & aged in-house. It is tasty, tender & reasonably priced. They serve a generous portion of rib or T-bone with delicious side dishes. The cocktails are great as well & so is their wine list. Definitely worth the trip for a great dining experience.View more

Went with a large group & had to take the tasting menu.

Pros: food was really good & high quality. Beautiful restaurant.

Cons: literally splitting hairs so that everyone got to try the dishes. A fork's worth of pasta. A half spoon of risotto..couple pieces of meat. Dessert somehow even more so, as they brought out even less at that stage. cutting a slice of chocolate salami in to tiny little pieces was embarrassing. Not everyone got to sample the tiramisu. First experience with a tasting menu where they were literal. You just get to TASTE it. Better off charging more & making sure your clients leave satisfied. Disappointing.View more

A gem in Little Italy: Bold, seasonal, delicious food on a regularly changing menu, with exceptional service.

The menu is inspired, from the creative small plates (anchovy ricotta! Haskap compote!), the tender housemade pastas, & the incredible desserts (the lemon tiramisu & housemade gelatos are a must). Every time I visit, the menu is different, but the quality & inspiration remains consistent.

Then there's the beef, where this small restaurant in Little Italy is one of the few in Montreal to sell steaks by breed as well as cut (not to mention that they're dry-aged in house). The steaks are cooked to perfection, tender, & deeply flavourful.

Karine is a ray of sunshine, running front of house, drinks, & who I've run into buying crates of sea urchin at the Jean-Talon Market.

They manage to do it all. I cannot recommend Mucca more.

After 3 years of dining here, Mucca remains my go-to when people ask me to recommend:
-'the best steak & a wine list to match'
-'the best pasta'
-'a cute spot for date night'
-'somewhere to take my parents for their birthday where it should feel fancy without being stodgy & make them feel special'
-'dinner with a few coworkers'View more

Mucca is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Little Italy. The moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a warm, intimate atmosphere & a friendly, attentive staff that instantly makes you feel like part of the family. One of the things I love most about Mucca is their commitment to using only fresh, seasonal ingredients. Their menu changes a little weekly, so there's always something new & exciting to try. Every bite is a testament to the quality & care they put into their food. A highlight for me is their house-made ice cream-it's absolutely divine & the perfect way to finish any meal. For the best experience, I highly recommend choosing the tasting menu. It's the perfect way to explore a variety of their standout dishes. Mucca is the perfect spot for any occasion, & it's a restaurant I can't recommend enough. It's a true gem in Little Italy!View more

In the area there are a lot of restaurants that claim to be 5 star restaurants but their food & service are subpar. I was pleasantly surprised at the service & quality of food at Mucca. Their porterhouse was cooked to perfection & was very tasty. The service was impeccable. Their only downside for me was their selection of alcohol, but it's not a big issue.View more

The food was top quality. The Fiorentina steak was amazing so was the rib steak. Cooked to perfection if you like it just rare. Owner Karine was slightly flexible for me & had it cooked medium rare. The Fior di zucchini were delicious, the pasta vogole was to die for. Freshly made pasta thats a must! The tuna salad with fiddleheads was very good too. What a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday. Thank you Karine & Pasquale for your amazing cuisine & professional courteous service. Will definitely come back with my friends!View more

Loved this hidden gem. Menu always changing & few choices but a real focus on quality & service. Everything was great,except maybe a bit noisy but that's really a personal feeling as we were still able to chat without any issue.

Last Thursday, my client & I decided to dine at this establishment hoping for a relaxed & enjoyable evening. We walked in at about 8:30 pm & were surprised to find the restaurant almost desserted with only three other tables occupied. Little did we know, our anticipation was soon to be marred by a series of disappointing events & a Grinch (the owner). Although the food quality was commendable, our overall experience was overwhelmingly tarnished by the shockingly poor service of the owner. We were left waiting for nearly 30 minutes before our orders were taken, which was surprising given the sparse crowd. We opted for the tasting menu - the most premium offering on their menu - leading to a clutter of dishes on our diminutive table. In an attempt to create a bit more space & since the owner wasn't in the front for the last 10 mins, we decided to combine our table with an adjacent one. We thought it a harmless act, aimed at making our meal more comfortable without causing any inconvenience. But we were taken aback when the owner, Karine, confronted us, 10 mins later, expressing extreme displeasure at our initiative. Despite our immediate apologies & explanation for our actions, she continued to berate us. Hoping to salvage the situation, we decided to persist, putting our faith in the restaurant's culinary reputation. But to our dismay, Karine later moved the extra table without a word of explanation. When we courteously requested her to let us use the extra table given the lack of customers & the amount of dishes ordered, she vehemently & disrespectfully refused, stating her reluctance to encourage customers to use more space than designated. It was at this point that we decided to leave. The condescending attitude of the management completely extinguished our appetite. We paid for the dishes we had been served & departed, vowing never to return. It's regrettable that our experience was so negative, & perhaps provides some insight as to why the restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday night. The most regrettable aspect of this encounter is that it wasn't my first visit to this restaurant. Just three weeks prior, I had brought a group of six friends & we had collectively spent $1000. What's more, the friends I brought along had a personal connection to the owner through a family member, who was a regular there. I was anticipating this connection would pave the way for a warm & friendly rapport, & was considering this place for frequent get-togethers. Unfortunately, the distressing episode has quashed such hopes. The unfortunate truth is that the restaurant has not just lost a potential repeat customer, but also the prospect of consistent business brought by a wider circle of acquaintances. An establishment's success isn't only about the quality of food, but equally about the hospitality & service extended to customers. The management should understand this before it's too late, for no restaurant can thrive on good food alone.

There is a reason why the reviews have nothing less than a 5 star rating!! It is not often I feel the need to review, but it has been quite a while since I have been floored by the overall experience from a restaurant. The tasting menu is an absolute must; you truly get your money's worth. Being a group of 5 we were treated to a sampling of almost everything on their menu & everything was simply amazing. The burrata with the ground cherry jam was "lick your plate" that good. The beef tartare was fresh & better with each bite. The homemade pasta choices were each innovative & delectable... we needed to ask for more bread to scoop up all the sauce! Next came the 3 choices of meat & the moooo in Mucca really showed itself. The platters of meat were out of this world delicious & cooked to perfection. Even the side of greens & mashed potatoes were simply devine infused with garlic & herbs. At this point we were stuffed to the rim & couldn't imagine dessert being even better. The lemon tiramisu was absolutely everything (& this coming from someone who usually doesn't like citrus desserts & knows a good tiramisu when she sees one). The gelato flavours were apple pie & mojito reincarnated. & the ricotta cheesecake was delicate & so fluffy. If the food wasn't enough, the service & ambience were also top notch quality. After every serving, all cutlery & plates were replaced & our glasses were never emptied.. the attention to detail did not go unnoticed; these people know how to deliver an experience. The music they had going was every best song I wanted to hear & I really need their playlist now! The owner was a true delight & you can tell that this is her passion; serving & doing food exceptionally well without it being pretentious. We will definitely be back!
