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!

I've now been to Mucca three times, each time with different people, & every single one of us came to the same conclusion: the meat here is the best in Montreal.
Mucca is an Italian restaurant centered around meat, especially the Fiorentina steak, & they execute it exceptionally well. The quality of the meat is outstanding, the cooking is precise, & the food overall is excellent.
What keeps bringing me back, however, is something much rarer: this is an honest kitchen. Real cooking, real value, & no gimmicks.
The service is also exceptional. The owner & staff provide a level of personal, attentive service that is becoming increasingly rare. What I particularly respect is that they operate with a clear set of principles about how a restaurant should function & how food should be served.
For me, this is the real deal - a true restaurant experience that I honestly thought had almost disappeared in Montreal.No gimmicks, no trends - just a serious kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing.
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 !
My family & I ordered way too much food & we did not have ANY regrets.
The Steak: We had the Florentine & the rib steak, & loved when the owner asked us how we want our steak cooked rare or medium rare because that's the only 2 ways! My daughter chose the rare.
It might be a challenge for some people, we saw table next to us turn back their steak because it was not to their liking. But must remember this is 50 days aged meat from Quebec, aged to where the moisture is not there & there is no'blood' on your plate. Get the rare…The meat just crunches it's incredible
The pasta: Some may say it's too hard/uncooked. I am usually one of these people, however I remembered the pasta is home made & I really enjoyed it the way it was presented to me. It didn't bloat me up like other pasta. My favourite was the pesto with FRESH anchovies
Dessert: we had the citrus tiramisu & homemade espresso gelato. Tiramisu was excellent, thought the gelato was a little too sweet.
Service wise the owner was very accommodating allowing us to taste her wine & serve by the glass as my wife & I have different wine preferences. We want to thank her for the wonderful service she provided, & I kind of miss her kitchens cooking already…
PS: If you like skating/hockey there is an outdoor skating rink with nets/boards that is just down the street. I'm bringing skates next time
Best place ever! Steak is amazing exactly how steak should be eaten & the pasta is amazing as well! Most importantly the owners & waiters/waitresses are the best!! feels like home! My favourite restaurant!
