Mucca blends honest cooking with standout meat, homemade pasta, and a warm, inviting atmosphere where service is attentive. The menu highlights the Fiorentina steak and other aged beef cuts, often cooked to perfection and paired with house made sides and a carefully curated wine list. Diners praise the quality of the ingredients, the skill in execution, and the thoughtful, no gimmicks approach that many feel makes the kitchen feel honest. The experience is described as cozy and welcoming, suitable for both special occasions and casual nights out, with consistent flavors, generous portions, and a sense that the menu is thoughtfully evolving rather than chasing trends.
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 🩷

Restaurant accueillant, ambiance chaleureuse & personnel attentif. Viande tendre & bien cuite accompagnée d'une bonne purée de patate. Le dessert a dépassé mes expectatives, gelato inoubliable!
Amazing restaurant! Their food, the customer service & their dessert was amazing! We had to order more bread because it was so good & home made!! I went for my fiancé's birthday & they did not disappoint! I recommend their restaurant to anyone wanting good food & a delicious espresso martini!
Super bon repas! Le cocktail au jus de goyave est un MUST! Les pâtes faites maison sont délicieuses. La viande de la bistecca fond dans la bouche. & le dessert tiramisu aux agrumes était une révélation. Le menu change selon la saison & tout est local. C'est certain que c'est un peu cher (pour deux plats dont la bistecca à 68$, deux cocktails & un dessert, la facture était de 150 dollars + pourboire), mais c'est similaire aux autres restaurants dans le coin (Impasto & Lucca). La qualité est là & le personnel était très attentionné. Rien à redire, je recommande fortement!

J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de manger (souper) au Mucca & j'ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité de la nourriture & le service. Les plats étaient tous délicieux & les ingrédients étaient frais. Le personnel était très sympathique & attentif à nos besoins. J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'atmosphère du restaurant. Il est très chaleureux & accueillant. C'est un endroit idéal pour se détendre & passer un bon moment avec des amis ou la famille. Je recommande vivement le Mucca à tous ceux qui cherchent un bon restaurant italien à Montréal.
Mucca is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Little Italy. The moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a warm, intimate atmosphere & a friendly, attentive staff that instantly makes you feel like part of the family. One of the things I love most about Mucca is their commitment to using only fresh, seasonal ingredients. Their menu changes a little weekly, so there's always something new & exciting to try. Every bite is a testament to the quality & care they put into their food. A highlight for me is their house-made ice cream-it's absolutely divine & the perfect way to finish any meal. For the best experience, I highly recommend choosing the tasting menu. It's the perfect way to explore a variety of their standout dishes. Mucca is the perfect spot for any occasion, & it's a restaurant I can't recommend enough. It's a true gem in Little Italy!
I was kind of surprised with the high ratings of this restaurant. The overall experience was average. We took the dégustation menu, the chef's recommendation. The starters were ok, not exquisite, the pasta was really bad, just plain, but the meat was good: we picked the porterhouse, it was very good & tender. The desserts were good. So basically i would only recommend the meat there, but then again I've also had better in Montreal.
Amazing food & good service. We were group of five. We ordered 2 starters, 2 pastas(which they only have 2 types of pasta 😂) 2 meat & 2 homemade lemon tiramisu. The meat 🥩 were beef ribs, filet & sirloin. All delicious 🤤 tiramisu was so refreshing. Overall the experience is great. 👍🏻
