Merci Karine & Pasquale! Whoa, quel steak extraordinaire! & le dessert Tiramisu aux agrumes? Wow. Merci de l'accueil & des superbes conseils sur le vin.
Somme toute nous avons eu une bonne expérience. C'était bon & frais, mais il manquait de saveur. Les pâtes étaient bonne mais rien d'exceptionnel au niveau du goût. Pas de sauce & 2 morceaux de prosciutto. La salade avait une bonne vinaigrette mais sans plus. Rien à dire sur la pièce de viande, c'était super & aussi très intéressant de voir le frigo de viande vieillit. Si tu recherche de la fraîcheur & de la qualité d'ingrédients, ce resto est pour toi.
Being from Alberta [definitely not an Alberta separatist--I love a country with Quebec in it where I visit often], we come from beef country. If you're not into medium rare or rare beef, read no further. At Mucca, the dry-aged beef is the highlight & the antipasti & pasta offering were also special. But here goes--this Albertan has to say I have never had better-tasting beef! The Florentine approach to beef is quite magical, in part because the contributing cows are 'hand-picked' from a single Quebec farm that is committed to the task of raising exceptional beef. Partner that with the dedication of the family [chef Pasquale Martone, wife Karine Massicotte & son] who operate Mucca, & you have a must-go restaurant. I'll be taking my advice again soon! The wine list is not large, but special with an emphasis on natural/biodynamic wines. Finally, our server, Valerie, was very attentive, enthusiastic & helpful in making perfect wine suggestions.
I've been back to Mucca 6 times now, & every time is always a delightful experience. Karine & staff ALWAYS take amazing care of you from beginning to end. Appetizers are the perfect portion; for two, as it should be. The pasta is perfectly balanced, cooked just slightly past al dente, & not over powered by the protein (whether it's clam or beef). If you like your pasta al dente make sure to request that! The T-bone is incredible; a must try especially with a finger licking, pick up the bone biting, experience.
Always a pleasure to be dining here.
To be more than full & have an exceptional food experience, with two drinks per person, expect to spend just under $100 a person (including tax & tip). 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to have an authentic Italian dinner.
Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Saint-Zotique. Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable avec des produits d'une qualité exceptionnelle.
Dès l'entrée, la vue sur la chambre froide remplie de superbes pièces de viande met immédiatement en appétit. La cuisson du boeuf était parfaite & chaque bouchée fondait en bouche. Tout était savoureux, de la planche de charcuteries aux accompagnements. C'est un sans-faute pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine.
The whole experience was absolutely lovely.
We got there a bit later than our reservation but the owner accomodated us very kindly. The restaurant was already empty by the time we got there which made the experience even more intimate & just lovelier.
The food (as always) was exquisite. The pasta was refreshing, the meat was juicy. All of it was just perfect.
Would definitely recommend!
This place is truly phenomenal! The food was incredible not a single thing I'd change & the service was friendly. A great place to have a nice birthday dinner. Thank you again to the all the staff for accommodating us & making a wonderful memory for us
