A must try. If you love Italian food this is the place for you- hand made pasta & rotating menu of fresh, local ingredients. The staff were incredible hosts, & the food was out almost instantly. Worth every penny.
Absolutely incredible experience at Mucca!
This Italian steakhouse completely exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing - every bite was bursting with flavor & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The steak was perfectly cooked & paired beautifully with traditional Italian sides. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was top-notch. I had so much fun & left feeling full, happy, & already thinking about my next visit. Highly recommend Mucca if you're looking for a memorable dining experience!

One of the best places to go in the city! The kitchen & service both operate at a very high level & the atmosphere is vibrant & friendly. The renovated bar looks fantastic! Very highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mucca in Montreal, & what a delight it was. As our server graciously informed us, the menu changes every few weeks-so while our experience may not be replicated dish for dish, the artistry & care are unmistakably constant.
The ambiance is warm & inviting, with low lighting & modern décor that feels both intimate & stylish. We were seated at the bar, which, while visually elegant, lacked a footrest, leading us to improvise a solution for comfort.
Though there were no sugar-free beverage options, the bar staff excelled in their craft. My cocktail, infused with rosemary, was impeccably balanced-refreshing & sophisticated.
We ordered all five appetizers & were not disappointed. The charcuterie board featured perfectly cured meats with crispy onions. The carpaccio was fresh & flavorful, with a bold tuna-mayo sauce. The salad was light, with bright orange segments; a few more would've been welcome. The burrata with fig sauce was divine-creamy, fresh, & well-balanced. The polenta, while well-cooked, could have benefited from a more vibrant sauce.
Fresh, warm bread was served alongside, & it was simply outstanding-pillowy inside with a perfect crust.
For the main course, we enjoyed the Strascinati di Cascia-house-made pasta with sausage & a rich, satisfying sauce. A rustic dish executed with elegance.
We then sampled every dessert. The apple strudel gelato & mint lemon gelato were fresh & bright. The citrus tiramisu was inventive & refreshing. The risotto cake with amaretto crumble was a hit at our table, & while the chocolate sausage wasn't quite to my taste, it was certainly unique.
Despite being busy, the staff were attentive & gracious throughout. Their poise & professionalism matched the caliber of the food.
In short: Mucca offers a dynamic, evolving menu with beautifully prepared dishes, thoughtful service, & an atmosphere perfect for a memorable evening. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Montreal.
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.

Went with a large group & had to take the tasting menu.
Pros: food was really good & high quality. Beautiful restaurant.
Cons: literally splitting hairs so that everyone got to try the dishes. A fork's worth of pasta. A half spoon of risotto..couple pieces of meat. Dessert somehow even more so, as they brought out even less at that stage. cutting a slice of chocolate salami in to tiny little pieces was embarrassing. Not everyone got to sample the tiramisu. First experience with a tasting menu where they were literal. You just get to TASTE it. Better off charging more & making sure your clients leave satisfied. Disappointing.
Unique burrata & amazing steaks. Cooked to perfection 10/10. Service was on point. The owner Karine was extremely friendly & nice to chat with. Will definitely be back :)
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'
We enjoyed the burrata & tartare quite a bit. Food presentation is very nice.
Unfortunately the tomahawk we ordered was underwhelming, marbled like a AA score & undersalted. It was tender & well cooked but the flavour was lacking.
Was really looking forward to trying this place, & the service was great, but wish they cared more about the beef sourcing
Je croyais avoir fait une réservation , à notre arrivée l'hôtesse nous confirma qu'elle n'avait pas recu ma réservation… ils nous ont trouvé une table. Quel accueil. Sa a bien débuté notre soirée. Le service était très bien, notre serveuse Valérie nous a expliqué le menu tout en nous disant que se serait une expérience culinaire comme on a jamais goûter… omg vraiment toute une expérience, tout simplement délicieux. Ils ont pris soin de nous du début jusqu'à la fin. C'est sur que nous allons y retourner & surtout en parler dans notre entourage. Quelle belle découverte. Un gros MERCI à notre serveuse Valérie & à toute l'équipe pour la belle soirée 🩷
