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.
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.
The food was top quality. The Fiorentina steak was amazing so was the rib steak. Cooked to perfection if you like it just rare. Owner Karine was slightly flexible for me & had it cooked medium rare. The Fior di zucchini were delicious, the pasta vogole was to die for. Freshly made pasta thats a must! The tuna salad with fiddleheads was very good too. What a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday. Thank you Karine & Pasquale for your amazing cuisine & professional courteous service. Will definitely come back with my friends!

We opted for the tasting menu for a table of 4. The food was excellent the wine was excellent. However the servings were inadequate for 4 people to share. Very costly overpriced for 2 strands of pasta & 4 slices of meat person. For the same price we should have ordered a la carte. So buyer beware, tasting menu is literally a tasting not a meal.
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 .
Hugo was an incredible waiter. Everyone else was very nice too! The food was delicious. They accommodated for dairy restriction & the pasta was delicious even without the cream. Loved the music.
The atmosphere is a bit sterile, lacks warmth. I usually like to sit at the bar when alone or with my wife, but the bar stools are sadly without a back. This explains why they were all empty. No one wants to sit at a bar for dinner when the stools don't offer back support. People sitting at the bar would make the atmosphere more exciting. Also, cocktail menu was limited. I feel that 5-6 well picked & popular cocktails would also contribute to a more festive outing. So service excellent, food excellent, atmosphere average.
Discovered this spot while looking for an alternative to another well known restaurant in the area - that was fully booked. Staff & service is excellent - location is great. The menu changes often so best to check the menu online before dining at Mucca. That said the appetizers (Burratta & fig & charcuterie board) were great & served with warm homemade bread. The restaurant is known for its beef but we opted for the two pasta dishes. One was delicious, but the spaghetti with fried zucchini was disappointingly bland even after asking for salt & additional cheese. The pasta it's self (made daily) was cooked well - just the seasoning was off on the spaghetti as mentioned. dessert was fantastic, wine selection great- my friend & I would come back, & I agree with previous comments about Mucca being a great date spot.
My girlfriend & I recently had a delightful date night at Mucca in Little Italy, & it exceeded our expectations in every way. To start we ordered the beef tartare & the burrata, both of which were exquisite. The sauces accompanying these dishes were a true highlight. The pasta was equally impressive, with a rich & savory taste that left us craving for more, as did the charcuterie board. We couldn't help but admire the tantalizing meat dishes served around us, making us eager to return & dip into the excellent wine list. To top it all off, the service was top-notch, making my girlfriend feel safe with her allergies, & the cozy, classy ambiance created the perfect setting for a romantic evening. Mucca is undoubtedly a restaurant we'll be revisiting soon.

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!)
We were a group of 8 taking the chef's tasting menu & it did not disappoint. Great place, world class plates; the lobster pasta & porterhouse steak were my personal favorites. I will be going back.
There is a reason why the reviews have nothing less than a 5 star rating!! It is not often I feel the need to review, but it has been quite a while since I have been floored by the overall experience from a restaurant. The tasting menu is an absolute must; you truly get your money's worth. Being a group of 5 we were treated to a sampling of almost everything on their menu & everything was simply amazing. The burrata with the ground cherry jam was "lick your plate" that good. The beef tartare was fresh & better with each bite. The homemade pasta choices were each innovative & delectable... we needed to ask for more bread to scoop up all the sauce! Next came the 3 choices of meat & the moooo in Mucca really showed itself. The platters of meat were out of this world delicious & cooked to perfection. Even the side of greens & mashed potatoes were simply devine infused with garlic & herbs. At this point we were stuffed to the rim & couldn't imagine dessert being even better. The lemon tiramisu was absolutely everything (& this coming from someone who usually doesn't like citrus desserts & knows a good tiramisu when she sees one). The gelato flavours were apple pie & mojito reincarnated. & the ricotta cheesecake was delicate & so fluffy. If the food wasn't enough, the service & ambience were also top notch quality. After every serving, all cutlery & plates were replaced & our glasses were never emptied.. the attention to detail did not go unnoticed; these people know how to deliver an experience. The music they had going was every best song I wanted to hear & I really need their playlist now! The owner was a true delight & you can tell that this is her passion; serving & doing food exceptionally well without it being pretentious. We will definitely be back!
Excellent food, excellent service. Owners know their stuff & are very welcoming. Great place for meat lovers that are conscientious how our animals are treated. They have valet so don't have to worry about where to park. Also, they have homemade gluten-free pasta so I will definitely return & try that next time !
