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.
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!
Hands down one of my favourite restaurant in Montreal. The food is so fresh, so flavourful & the best steak & pasta I've had. Beyond the food, the service is impeccable. You feel right at home, not rushed & so friendly. I will continue to recommend this restaurant to everyone - a must go! Highly recommend!
Had an amazing experience here! The radicchio salad is phenomenal, the T-bone (30oz, shared between two people) was incredible - got it rare & it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Paired it with a unique Bulgarian wine & citrus tiramisu for dessert. Service was exceptional. Definitely recommend coming here for a special occasion, or if you're just craving a really good steak!
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 !
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.
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 !
We had a great dinner at Mucca in Montreal. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, with a cozy vibe that made us feel right at home. It's located on Rue Saint-Zotique in the charming Little Italy neighborhood, which adds to the overall experience quiet, local, & full of character.
We started with the Fiori di zucca zucchini flowers filled with ricotta. The dish was light, subtly crisp, fresh, & beautifully presented.
For our main course, we ordered the Costata, a 20oz rib steak from Holstein cattle aged for 50 days. It was cooked perfectly medium, just as requested , great flavor, generously portioned.
To finish, we had ice cream served with a crisp waffle tucked in. It was incredibly delicious creamy, rich, & satisfying.
One thing we really appreciated is that Mucca makes many of its recipes fresh in-house including the bread, which was warm & delicious. That extra care in preparation really shows in the quality of service & food. The person who served us was friendly, attentive, & informative. We had different appetites & preferences, & they took the time to check in, understand what we were looking for, & recommend the most fitting dish for the evening. Their suggestion was spot-on, & we fully enjoyed it.
We also had the chance to speak with the chef / the owner , lovely people. They've started Mucca with a mission: to keep the menu simple, authentic, uncompromising in quality.
Everything we tasted was top-notch, & the pricing was very good for the quality offered. We'll definitely be coming back to try more of their signature ice cream & the Tomahawk steak. 👍🎊
