First time at this restaurant. We had the tasting menu & the food was fantastic, especially the rib steak, carpaccio & desserts. Service was very attentive & the pacing of food was perfect 👌. Would definitely return as this was a memorable experience!

Excellent in every respect. The mushroom pasta was delicious. The Charolais rib steak was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, served rare. Also very attentive to our needs regarding allergies. Wine recommendation matched our tastes. Five stars!
Super découverte chez Mucca. Service impeccable de la part de la propriétaire. Menu dégustation bien dosé, tous les plats étaient excellents. Les pâtes sont savoureuses. Le steak qui est leur spécialité fond dans la bouche & la cuisson était parfaite. Je retournerai & recommande fortement
Food was good, steak was what we came for & it was done exactly how we asked & seasoned perfectly. Wine selection was good & affordable, with options for all palettes. Service was attentive & constant, friendly & kind, couldn't ask for better.
What a wonderful experience we had at Mucca to celebrate a birthday! The ambiance was lovely, the service was impeccable & we had the best steak of our lives! Thank you Mucca team!!
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.
Karine & the support server were delightful & accommodating right from the time we walked into the door. Very helpful with the choices of wine as well as her suggestions for the meal. We shared a cowboy steak & it was cooked to perfection. Juicy, well flavored & well accompanied. The mashed potatoes were equally delicious & I was tempted to order a second portion. The room was lively without being over bearing & just the right level of music to be able to carry on a conversation. We will definitely go back with more friends & soon.. Good work!!
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!
La viande était bonne, le tiramisu aux agrumes & le coktail a la pêche. Aussi, la dame au service était très gentille & professionnelle. Par contre la portion était très petite & les pâtes à la chèvre ne goûtaient pas grand chose pour le prix. À voir les photos on aurait vraiment dû prendre le steak. On s'attendait à un effet wow, alors peut-être que c'est la raison pour laquelle on a trouvé ce plat en particulier n'était pas si exceptionnel.
I thought your menu was original & well done. The steak was perfect. One suggestion: let the burrata come to room temperature before serving it. It was fridge cold & that inhibits the taste & changes the texture. I say this only as a suggestion, not a complaint.
