Très TRÈS bruyant.
Le restaurant est très petit & il est rempli à pleine capacité donc nous sommes tous cordés comme des sardines.
Nous avons trouvé l'expérience, dans l'ensemble, assez désagréable & bien que la nourriture était bonne nous ne l'avons pas trouvé exceptionnelle.
Le carpaccio en entrée était difficile à couper & à mâcher car trop de nerfs, on avait l'impression de mâcher de la gomme.
Les pâtes (rigatonis) auraient gagnées à cuire une ou deux minutes de plus & n'étaient pas très goûteuses.
Le steak n'était pas aussi tendre que celui que je me fais à la maison pour la même coupe, mais il était bien assaisonné & cuit selon notre demande.
Le prix, tant qu'à moi, n'est pas justifié.
Il n'y a pas de menu papier, il faut le consulter en ligne ou lire sur les lèvres de la serveuse qui tente de nous l'expliquer au travers de tout ce bruit.
Nous n'y retournerons certainement PAS, désolé.
Brought a friend from NYC here who loved italian & wow did it not disappoint!
She spent a week in Montreal & she said this place was the highlight & the only authentic & high quality italian restaurant she had that was anything close to what she had back home.
I myself love Mucca because of it's artisanal dishes & high quality food. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming & the staff are exceptional

• 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). [⭐⭐⭐]
Came with high expectation & left with disappointment (well at least we are full)…the appetizers & pasta are underwhelming, & the steak was ok but still not something worthy to come back. We all found here a bit overhyped. It's good to support the local ingredients but the cooking technique is just…ordinary. Service is good though!
Le service excellent
La cuisine délicieuse , frais & bien préparé mais vraiment trop chère pour la quantité servie…
L'ambiance est très belle , hyper propre
(Dommage pour le choix musical & le volume… )

Cela faisait des années qu'on voulait essayer ce restaurant & nous y sommes allés pour fêter notre première année de parentalité. Quelle belle découverte ! Une vraie perle cachée de la Petite Italie, avec un accueil chaleureux & des propriétaires passionnés. La viande de boeuf est exceptionnelle, les pâtes maison délicieuses. Peu de choix, mais une qualité irréprochable - un vrai resto de quartier à connaître.
Pour un souper entre amis (moins bruyant que la plupart des restaurants)
Pour une date en tête à tête
Ate here twice, once recently & the first time a couple of years back.
1. Steak is as good, maybe the best I've ever had. But plating used to be better, & the portion size of the sides used to be larger as well.
2. Dishes other than the steak are just OK. I think they try to make up for the stripped down menu with'carefully thought out' appetizers & pastas, but i really think they'd be better off doing what they do best: keeping things simple.
Scrumdelicious aged T-bone with smashed potatoes & greens. The veggies were tasty & I'd happily take double. We'll definitely be back, though next time we would like to sit by the wall. Being in the middle meant a parade of butts & bellies brushing a little too close for comfort.

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. 👍🎊
