Mucca offers a warm, inviting Italian steakhouse experience with attentive and knowledgeable service. Diners praise locally sourced ingredients, house made bread and gelato, and pasta crafted in house that delivers texture and flavor. Beef is the standout, featuring ribeye, tomahawk and T bone aged in house and cooked to order, while the pasta and other dishes are consistently described as delicious and well executed. The menu changes regularly and highlights signature items like burrata, citrus tiramisu and inventive gelatos, with a thoughtful wine and cocktail program to match. 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.
Was really excited to like the place, has been on my list for a while. Good vibe on coming in, nice waiter, but the owner firmly (but politely) refused a pretty easy ask to let 3/5 of us order the tasting menu, & order a la carte for our vegetarian & pregnant friends. She admitted that there was no problem for 3 people to order a tasting menu "but you booked for 5, so you can't sneak it that way." Her restaurant, her rules... but you don't get service points for arbitrarily limiting customers from what they want. We followed the owner's recommendations on ordering, but 4/5 of us left quite hungry, even after adding an extra dish. The appetizers were very good: original & sizeable zucchini flowers, a nice salad, textbook burrata. The steaks were both well cooked but heavily over-peppered; & the pastas the waiter recommended we double up on were totally bland. We left most of them, & we mentioned to the owner that this dish wasn't terribly good; she said okay but charged us for it. Also okay, fair enough, but again, you don't get service points for that. The cocktails were solid, the two bottles of wine were both good - we got solid advice there. Again - just too bad we left with a bad taste in our mouth. Could have easily been a great night. We went next door for dessert.
This place was amazing. The experience you want from a place in little Italy. Corrine, was an absolute gem, & made us feel like part of her family. For us this is one of the best Italian places we have eaten since visiting Italy. You can taste their passion in what they produce, make sure you ask for the full Italian experience, you will be so full & happy. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Très bon restaurant! Ils proposent un menu qu'ils changent souvent avec des produits de saison venant du marché!!! Je recommande pour passer une bon repas en amoureux ou entre amis!
If I could give 6 stars I would! Been a couple times to this restaurant & I normally never take the time to write reviews but these folks more than deserve one. The quality of their ingredients, the service, the menu, all of it. I recommend doing the tasting menu!
The restaurant is located in a busy area so it took some time to find parking which made us late. When we go to the restaurant the hostess/server was extremely rude. She had advised us that she gave our table away so we had to sit at the bar when there were multiple tables that were free. Likewise, it took a long time for our order to be taken. The food was moderate & overall the experience was satisfactory. I would not recommend this place or go back.

I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant - it has been a long time since I went to a restaurant where every item on my plate was intentionally picked & prepared by the restaurant chef & owner. I had advised the restaurant that I had celiac disease, & the owner went out of her way to ensure that everything was safe for me & to ensure that I was not left lacking, in terms of food. The ingredients are all handpicked & the owner makes you feel like she is inviting you into her home. The ambiance was also great - music was great but not too loud, lighting was perfect & the tables were nicely spaced out. I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone!
Fantastic! Came with my mom for dinner & ordered the meat platter for two, it came with two sides mashed potatoes & a salad (I think its kale) it was absolutely delicious! We also had a burrata as an appetizer very yummy.
We had dessert, a light but tasty lemon tiramisu, the perfect ending! The service was incredible, we had two very nice servers. I recommend this place. I want to come back & try other dishes, their menu changes every week!
What an amazing little gem Mucca is. Everything was perfect. The restaurant is beautifully, cozy & a great ambiance. We were welcomed/served by the owner Karine who is such a genuine & beautiful person. Made us feel like she was receiving us in her home. & the food… OMG too die for. We took the tasting menu.. I highly recommend.
Nice date night spot in Little Italy. Menus are seasonal & change every couple of weeks based on available ingredients. Before going, check their menu online to see what they’re offering.
My partner & I ordered the tasting menu at 78pp which gave you a smattering of items available on their menu that day, including two appetizers, one pasta, one meat, & two desserts. Their appetizers (green bean salad + beef carpaccio) & pasta (white cream tube pasta) was absolutely amazing as well as the sides that came with the meat (mashed potato’s & chard), although parts of the meat came out either a bit chewy, a bit tough, or the rosemary overpowered the dry age.
While portion sizes were smaller than if you were to order the dishes separately, we preferred this option because the amount of food that came out was just right. (If you care more about the volume, would maybe recommend ordering the foods separately)
All in all this was a very solid meal. Food came out quickly & service was excellent & friendly! (Keep in mind we came a bit on the earlier side. I can imagine when it gets busy, it may be hard for the 1-2 people in the front to be at your every beck & call. Temper expectations & focus on enjoying your food!)
Accueil, service & présentation des plats & surtout la qualité de la nourriture tout était parfait!
On recommande sans aucune hésitation!
Félicitations & longue vie à toute l'équipe de Mucca

We visited MUCCA Restaurant & tried their tasting menu, which was great. The tasting menu is served as shared dishes, & you get to try multiple dishes. The steaks are cooked to perfection & the staff are extremely friendly & knowledgable. Would recommend.
