Restaurant Lucca

I went to dinner with my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day.
The Owner and waiters were really nice and friendly.
They served bruschetta and The appetizer was fried calamari. Taste so good.
And the risotto went with veggies and meat also very nice. Tuna was cooked medium and very fresh very juicy.
The dessert we had chocolate soufflé I really loved it because it’s Not very sweet but yummy.
It’s a little pricy but we really enjoyed it and had a good time. I will go back to there again.

Great restaurant, always come here for special occasions. Staff is very pleasant and warm, very cosy feeling to the place and the food is absolutely phenomenal

Lucca is a small vibrant resto located in the heart of Little Italy so you’d expect them to nail it. As soon as you arrive they start you off with a complimentary order of bruchetta which is excellent and a very nice touch.
For appetizers we ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella, made with beautiful fresh ingredients, it was amazing. I suggest that you ask them to add a bit of balsamic to the dish, a reliable source tells me that the previous chef use to serve it this way. We also ordered the calamari, which was very disappointing. I love calamari and I didn’t even finish the plate. Wow, I can’t believe that there was calamari in front of me and I didn’t eat it! It was very chewy and not enjoyable, it tasted like something you’d pickup at the food court.
For our main course my wife had the filet mignon and I had the lobster pasta. The filet was uninspiring and a bit salty and the lobster pasta evening more disappointing. The pasta was served with a lobster bisque for the sauce, a well done lobster bisque is one of my favorite things. Unfortunately this was very bland and uninteresting. The pieces of lobster in the pasta were few and far between.
For dessert I had the chocolate lava cake. Chocolate cake is one of my favorite things on earth. Again this dish lacked flavour and any sort of punch or excitement.
Overall I must say the meal was very uninspiring and with so many other great options available I will not be back to Lucca any time soon.

I’m a born and raised Asian from Asia who’s trying to integrate into Canadian culture. I only started eating Italian food when I moved to montreal. Gotta say this is my fav Italian resto. My boyfriend is half Italian and he totally agrees with me. Best risotto I’ve had in my life. We go there for his and my birthdays or any other special occasions because it’s not a place we. An afford every weekend. Lol maybe that’s for the better after all

One of the best risotto’s I’ve had.

Everything on the menu is great. Terrific value for lunch with soup/​salad, entrée and tiramisu for ~$ 25+tx. One of Montréal’s hidden gems. Everything here is good. Definitely worth trying!
