Moccione is an Italian restaurant in the Villeray neighborhood of Montreal.
“We had a wonderful experience at Restaurant Moccione! Every dish was beautifully prepared. We enjoyed zucchini flowers stuffed with fresh ricotta. The outside was crispy and the ricotta creamy. The arancini had delicious melted cheesy centers. Pastas were perfectly al dente. I recommend the tortelli. And to finish, we had the best cannoli I have ever eaten. The shell was crisp and the ricotta filling not too sweet with pistachio on one end and a candied orange slice on the other. This was our favorite restaurant in Montreal!!”
“We had a wonderful dinner tonight thanks to Gabrielle’s guidance and thoughtful service. Having someone like Gabrielle on the team is truly a blessing for this restaurant. I genuinely believe that the quality of food is deeply connected to the quality of service, and she made our entire experience feel warm and special from beginning to end. Her attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism stood out throughout the evening, and I wanted to express my sincere appreciation once again. Thank you, Gabrielle.”
“Moccione is an absolute standout. The food is exceptional—homemade pasta taken to a whole other level, with incredible depth of flavor and attention to detail in every dish. Reservations are definitely hard to come by, but it’s more than worth the effort. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome—warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. A special place that lives up to the hype and then some. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent experience at Moccione. The fried fish was great, the tartare was even better, and the squid was amazing. The pasta with mushrooms was outstanding, everything tasted fresh and made with real care. Service was impeccable, perfectly timing each dish around our conversation. All around an excellent meal. Gladly recommend.”
“High quality small plates at reasonable prices and paired with excellent service. We tried most of the appetizers and a few main dishes. Our favorites and the ones we would definitely recommend were the crudo, trout tartare, calamari and octopus (and lots of bread, of course). That said, some dishes were less impressive. The desserts felt lacklustre (cannoli and baba tiramisu) and we didn’t enjoy the beef pasta or the cheese arancini. Overall, a solid experience with standout seafood dishes, though not every item on the menu hit the same level.”
