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.

• 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). [⭐⭐⭐]

In town for an event, & our group of 9 randomly decided to try Mucca since it was a few blocks away.
Great decision! We were lucky to snag a few tables for the entire group & the Owner served us directly & essentially helped us customize a meal to suit our party size & preferences. She was so engaging & helpful explaining her farm to table approach.
We literally got 1 of everything on the menu! Ribeye, tbone, & tomahawk, Tagliatelle pasta, & charcuterie board. Steaks cooked to perfection medium rare.
Had good selection of local wines. Finished if off with few desserts. The Salame Cioccolato was surprisingly good! Literally looks like a thick slab of salame but rich chocolatey firm mousse. So good.
Loved the atmosphere & how engaging & helpful the owner was even when we had questions about montreal in general.
You Must try!

I had a great dinner at Mucca amazing experience. I love so much the way Karin explain about the food menu great selection of wine. Vegetables & meat expectacular.
I definitely recommend Mucca & they have a nice terrace & outdoor seating.

Classic with creative modern touch.
Food is like your aged-like-fine-wine-nona's cooking. Unexpected delicious busting flavors with beautiful depth of ingredients's unami.
Everyone was welcoming & Valérie at the bar gave us excellent wine recommendation.
Definitely will come back!

Nestled in little Italy, this restaurant is a true gem worth discovering. They serve exquisite, locally-sourced, fresh, top quality, & well-prepared dishes. Everything is made in-house, even the bread & gelato. The beef is grass-fed & aged in-house. It is tasty, tender & reasonably priced. They serve a generous portion of rib or T-bone with delicious side dishes. The cocktails are great as well & so is their wine list. Definitely worth the trip for a great dining experience.

A gem in Little Italy: Bold, seasonal, delicious food on a regularly changing menu, with exceptional service.
The menu is inspired, from the creative small plates (anchovy ricotta! Haskap compote!), the tender housemade pastas, & the incredible desserts (the lemon tiramisu & housemade gelatos are a must). Every time I visit, the menu is different, but the quality & inspiration remains consistent.
Then there's the beef, where this small restaurant in Little Italy is one of the few in Montreal to sell steaks by breed as well as cut (not to mention that they're dry-aged in house). The steaks are cooked to perfection, tender, & deeply flavourful.
Karine is a ray of sunshine, running front of house, drinks, & who I've run into buying crates of sea urchin at the Jean-Talon Market.
They manage to do it all. I cannot recommend Mucca more.

After 3 years of dining here, Mucca remains my go-to when people ask me to recommend:
-'the best steak & a wine list to match'
-'the best pasta'
-'a cute spot for date night'
-'somewhere to take my parents for their birthday where it should feel fancy without being stodgy & make them feel special'
-'dinner with a few coworkers'

So nice to discover a "new" for us amazing genuine place. Unpretentious setting, serving top dishes. Northern Italian cuisine fusion with locally sourced ingredients. Tomahawk & T bone (aged) cooked to perfection wrapped in phenomenal tiramisu to finish it off. Great wine recommendations with professional service. Well priced. Highly recommended!
Michael
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!
Michael
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.
Stephanie
Rad spot in cool neighbourhood. Stunning food. Amazing service. Definitely recommend!! **Ironically it's the manager that needs to learn hospitality & tact as criticized a wonderful server for a SLIGHTLY generous pour of wine. Coaching & constructive criticism is critical to the success of the business, but announcing it within clear ear distance of clients is not cool**

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!!
Mario
What a gem 👌🏻 We were a party of 6 & had the tasting menu, which essentially is little bit of the whole menu. Everything was fantastic! Delicious food - Great service & excellent wine selection. Can't wait to go back!

We opted for the tasting menu for a table of 4. The food was excellent the wine was excellent. However the servings were inadequate for 4 people to share. Very costly overpriced for 2 strands of pasta & 4 slices of meat person. For the same price we should have ordered a la carte. So buyer beware, tasting menu is literally a tasting not a meal.

Discovered this spot while looking for an alternative to another well known restaurant in the area - that was fully booked. Staff & service is excellent - location is great. The menu changes often so best to check the menu online before dining at Mucca. That said the appetizers (Burratta & fig & charcuterie board) were great & served with warm homemade bread. The restaurant is known for its beef but we opted for the two pasta dishes. One was delicious, but the spaghetti with fried zucchini was disappointingly bland even after asking for salt & additional cheese. The pasta it's self (made daily) was cooked well - just the seasoning was off on the spaghetti as mentioned. dessert was fantastic, wine selection great- my friend & I would come back, & I agree with previous comments about Mucca being a great date spot.

My girlfriend & I recently had a delightful date night at Mucca in Little Italy, & it exceeded our expectations in every way. To start we ordered the beef tartare & the burrata, both of which were exquisite. The sauces accompanying these dishes were a true highlight. The pasta was equally impressive, with a rich & savory taste that left us craving for more, as did the charcuterie board. We couldn't help but admire the tantalizing meat dishes served around us, making us eager to return & dip into the excellent wine list. To top it all off, the service was top-notch, making my girlfriend feel safe with her allergies, & the cozy, classy ambiance created the perfect setting for a romantic evening. Mucca is undoubtedly a restaurant we'll be revisiting soon.
