Restaurant Italien de quartier, situé au coeur de la Petite-Italie de Montréal. Menu créatif et changeant selon les arrivages du marché, focalisé sur les viandes vieillies de provenance local et responsable. Vins natures soigneusement selectionnés.
Nos Spécialités
Cuisine italienne, viandes, boeuf canadien (âgé sur place), pâtes, pains et desserts maison et menu dégustation.
Mucca se distingue comme une adresse locale chaleureuse où les plats privilégient le fait maison et les produits locaux. Les viandes vieillies en interne et les pâtes artisanales, les desserts maison et les glaces rafraîchissantes offrent une expérience gourmande et authentique. Le cadre est intime et l'ambiance conviviale, idéale pour un dîner entre amis ou une soirée en tête-à-tête, et le service est attentif et personnalisé avec de bons conseils sur les vins. La carte évolue régulièrement avec des plats créatifs et des accompagnements soignés, et les avis convergent sur la qualité des steaks et des pâtes. Certains retours mentionnent une salle parfois bruyante et des portions ou des choix qui ne conviennent pas à tout le monde, mais l'esprit et la constance de Mucca restent remarquables.
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
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 !

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 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.
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.
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'
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!
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.
First time at this restaurant. We had the tasting menu & the food was fantastic, especially the rib steak, carpaccio & desserts. Service was very attentive & the pacing of food was perfect 👌. Would definitely return as this was a memorable experience!

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.
Food was very tasty & flavorful but they oblige a fixed menu if you are 6 people or more & it left everyone hungry because portions were small. One burrata divided in 6 was barely a bite each . Same for the pasta dishes & desserts . For the price , it wasn't enough food to share .
Fantastic! Came with my mom for dinner & ordered the meat platter for two, it came with two sides mashed potatoes & a salad (I think its kale) it was absolutely delicious! We also had a burrata as an appetizer very yummy.
We had dessert, a light but tasty lemon tiramisu, the perfect ending! The service was incredible, we had two very nice servers. I recommend this place. I want to come back & try other dishes, their menu changes every week!
Our second time visiting your place & all was incredible! We had the citrus tiramisu, by far the best restaurant dessert we've ever had! Thank you for making our evening special, Natasha & Rodion
Nice date night spot in Little Italy. Menus are seasonal & change every couple of weeks based on available ingredients. Before going, check their menu online to see what they’re offering.
My partner & I ordered the tasting menu at 78pp which gave you a smattering of items available on their menu that day, including two appetizers, one pasta, one meat, & two desserts. Their appetizers (green bean salad + beef carpaccio) & pasta (white cream tube pasta) was absolutely amazing as well as the sides that came with the meat (mashed potato’s & chard), although parts of the meat came out either a bit chewy, a bit tough, or the rosemary overpowered the dry age.
While portion sizes were smaller than if you were to order the dishes separately, we preferred this option because the amount of food that came out was just right. (If you care more about the volume, would maybe recommend ordering the foods separately)
All in all this was a very solid meal. Food came out quickly & service was excellent & friendly! (Keep in mind we came a bit on the earlier side. I can imagine when it gets busy, it may be hard for the 1-2 people in the front to be at your every beck & call. Temper expectations & focus on enjoying your food!)
Last Thursday, my client & I decided to dine at this establishment hoping for a relaxed & enjoyable evening. We walked in at about 8:30 pm & were surprised to find the restaurant almost desserted with only three other tables occupied. Little did we know, our anticipation was soon to be marred by a series of disappointing events & a Grinch (the owner). Although the food quality was commendable, our overall experience was overwhelmingly tarnished by the shockingly poor service of the owner. We were left waiting for nearly 30 minutes before our orders were taken, which was surprising given the sparse crowd. We opted for the tasting menu - the most premium offering on their menu - leading to a clutter of dishes on our diminutive table. In an attempt to create a bit more space & since the owner wasn't in the front for the last 10 mins, we decided to combine our table with an adjacent one. We thought it a harmless act, aimed at making our meal more comfortable without causing any inconvenience. But we were taken aback when the owner, Karine, confronted us, 10 mins later, expressing extreme displeasure at our initiative. Despite our immediate apologies & explanation for our actions, she continued to berate us. Hoping to salvage the situation, we decided to persist, putting our faith in the restaurant's culinary reputation. But to our dismay, Karine later moved the extra table without a word of explanation. When we courteously requested her to let us use the extra table given the lack of customers & the amount of dishes ordered, she vehemently & disrespectfully refused, stating her reluctance to encourage customers to use more space than designated. It was at this point that we decided to leave. The condescending attitude of the management completely extinguished our appetite. We paid for the dishes we had been served & departed, vowing never to return. It's regrettable that our experience was so negative, & perhaps provides some insight as to why the restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday night. The most regrettable aspect of this encounter is that it wasn't my first visit to this restaurant. Just three weeks prior, I had brought a group of six friends & we had collectively spent $1000. What's more, the friends I brought along had a personal connection to the owner through a family member, who was a regular there. I was anticipating this connection would pave the way for a warm & friendly rapport, & was considering this place for frequent get-togethers. Unfortunately, the distressing episode has quashed such hopes. The unfortunate truth is that the restaurant has not just lost a potential repeat customer, but also the prospect of consistent business brought by a wider circle of acquaintances. An establishment's success isn't only about the quality of food, but equally about the hospitality & service extended to customers. The management should understand this before it's too late, for no restaurant can thrive on good food alone.
