The atmosphere blends coziness with a refined vibe, though the space can be lively and a touch noisy at times, which seems to suit many celebratory dinners. Overall, Mucca feels like a true local gem in Montreal, inviting repeat visits for both steak lovers and pasta fans.
I've now been to Mucca three times, each time with different people, & every single one of us came to the same conclusion: the meat here is the best in Montreal.
Mucca is an Italian restaurant centered around meat, especially the Fiorentina steak, & they execute it exceptionally well. The quality of the meat is outstanding, the cooking is precise, & the food overall is excellent.
What keeps bringing me back, however, is something much rarer: this is an honest kitchen. Real cooking, real value, & no gimmicks.
The service is also exceptional. The owner & staff provide a level of personal, attentive service that is becoming increasingly rare. What I particularly respect is that they operate with a clear set of principles about how a restaurant should function & how food should be served.
For me, this is the real deal - a true restaurant experience that I honestly thought had almost disappeared in Montreal.No gimmicks, no trends - just a serious kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing.
Délicieux ! Karine est très attentionnée & le service est impeccable (eau, explications, etc.). On sent que tout est fait maison & que les produits sont sélectionnés avec soin. Nous avons partagé plusieurs entrées, puis pris le plat de pâtes & le dessert à l'huile d'olive : un vrai coup de coeur ! Karine nous a servi un verre d'hydromel délicieux pour accompagner notre dessert.
J'ai d'ailleurs modifié mon avis, parce que j'y suis retournée. Dommage, je n'ai pas de photos ! Je vais y retourner & je recommande ce petit resto italien de quartier !

My family & I ordered way too much food & we did not have ANY regrets.
The Steak: We had the Florentine & the rib steak, & loved when the owner asked us how we want our steak cooked rare or medium rare because that's the only 2 ways! My daughter chose the rare.
It might be a challenge for some people, we saw table next to us turn back their steak because it was not to their liking. But must remember this is 50 days aged meat from Quebec, aged to where the moisture is not there & there is no'blood' on your plate. Get the rare…The meat just crunches it's incredible
The pasta: Some may say it's too hard/uncooked. I am usually one of these people, however I remembered the pasta is home made & I really enjoyed it the way it was presented to me. It didn't bloat me up like other pasta. My favourite was the pesto with FRESH anchovies
Dessert: we had the citrus tiramisu & homemade espresso gelato. Tiramisu was excellent, thought the gelato was a little too sweet.
Service wise the owner was very accommodating allowing us to taste her wine & serve by the glass as my wife & I have different wine preferences. We want to thank her for the wonderful service she provided, & I kind of miss her kitchens cooking already…
PS: If you like skating/hockey there is an outdoor skating rink with nets/boards that is just down the street. I'm bringing skates next time
Best place ever! Steak is amazing exactly how steak should be eaten & the pasta is amazing as well! Most importantly the owners & waiters/waitresses are the best!! feels like home! My favourite restaurant!
This is my favourite restaurant in all of Montreal, I have tried to keep this a secret to myself because it's just so good every time & I don't want it to be impossible to book a table. The service is impeccable, the food is to die for & the ambiance is comfortable but without losing any class or sense of occasion. Bring a big appetite. You won't regret it

Steak was incredible obviously. But you definitely need to be someone who likes it more on the raw side. We ordered medium rare- im not an expert, but the steak seems more on the rare side to me. We didnt mind at all because we like steak rare anyways.
The pasta was just okay, i wouldnt order it again.
The ice cream was also lovely. Nice quiet spot for a date night.
Cozy place with great food. Nice wine selection with wines from countries you dont often see in restaurants. Owner & wait staff were very nice! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good steak & a good plate of pasta.
The food is okay. We ordered the tomahawk steak & the outside was burned. When explaining it to the servers, they tried to downplay the fact. Unfortunately, the quality of the food is not as great as the ambience of the restaurant makes it seem.

This was a recommendation by a family member & honestly did not disappoint! Service was great, Karine was super helpful with our choices, super friendly staff as well! The food did not disappoint. Great local joint using great quality & local products. Did not disappoint & will be back for sure!
This restaurant is overhyped. Not sure why so many people speak so highly about it, I really felt like the experience was nothing out of the ordinary. My friends wanted to come here for steak & I turned them around after trying this place. I definitely do not think this is one of the top places for steak. The service is decent, but the food is really not the best in Montreal. Portions are small, & it is expensive, not the greatest. Took a very very long time to get the bill(45mins after asking 3 times)
What a great experience! This food took me back to my Italian roots, real authentic. I highly recommend this restaurant, they also have a great variety of grappa's that you don't usually find in restaurants in Montreal.
Morgane our waitress was fabulous, we also got to chat with the owner Karine, also lovely! Thank you for the wonderful experience !
Quelle belle expérience ! L'entrée de polenta & champignons était excellente & que dire des pâtes au ragù de canard, divines ! Service très chaleureux & convivial de Karine, la propriétaire ! Nous allons y retourner c'est certain.
Très TRÈS bruyant.
Le restaurant est très petit & il est rempli à pleine capacité donc nous sommes tous cordés comme des sardines.
Nous avons trouvé l'expérience, dans l'ensemble, assez désagréable & bien que la nourriture était bonne nous ne l'avons pas trouvé exceptionnelle.
Le carpaccio en entrée était difficile à couper & à mâcher car trop de nerfs, on avait l'impression de mâcher de la gomme.
Les pâtes (rigatonis) auraient gagnées à cuire une ou deux minutes de plus & n'étaient pas très goûteuses.
Le steak n'était pas aussi tendre que celui que je me fais à la maison pour la même coupe, mais il était bien assaisonné & cuit selon notre demande.
Le prix, tant qu'à moi, n'est pas justifié.
Il n'y a pas de menu papier, il faut le consulter en ligne ou lire sur les lèvres de la serveuse qui tente de nous l'expliquer au travers de tout ce bruit.
Nous n'y retournerons certainement PAS, désolé.
Brought a friend from NYC here who loved italian & wow did it not disappoint!
She spent a week in Montreal & she said this place was the highlight & the only authentic & high quality italian restaurant she had that was anything close to what she had back home.
I myself love Mucca because of it's artisanal dishes & high quality food. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming & the staff are exceptional
• Food was deceiving. I ordered pasta, & even though the menu changes every so often, I don't think it would matter much. The pasta itself was cold, albeit homemade. The whole plate in itself was lacking in flavours. My date ordered the same & she did not finish her plate. I've ordered a citrus tiramisu, & at least we finished on a good note. The white wine we ordered was mid, for ±$75, I expected better. [⭐⭐]
• The service had nice attention. Our wine cups & water glasses were never empty. I just wished the server would be more into wine recommendation based on what we ordered. [⭐⭐⭐⭐]
• Atmosphere is great, not spectacular. Tables can be close to each other, so for a private time it ain't the best (can be quite loud, need a few sips of alcohol to help you focus better). [⭐⭐⭐]
