"Moccione means “brat” in Italian, but there's nothing self-centered about the food and service in this airy space on a quiet strip of northern rue Saint-Denis. The team welcomes you like you’re a long-lost friend, and you can expect seasonal Italian dishes like trout tartare with clementines and radishes, homemade gnocchi with morels and arugula, and halibut on a bed of pureed spinach sweetened with local corn. Desserts here are the best part, including the lightest of cannoli topped with pistachio and velvety orange rind and their homemade gelato. " - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"A prototypical neighborhood Italian comfort-restaurant in Villeray from a chef-and-partner team, family-friendly with a terrace and a menu focused on durum-wheat pastas and classics; regulars favor the arancini and Bolognese and the place is suited to family dinners." - ByMehdi Brunet-Benkritly, as told to Mia Leimkuhler
"After mesmerizing Montrealers with their pasta primping skills, the team behind Moccione leaped into the world of pizza-making last fall. Expect 11 different pies, including one topped with potato, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella; and another with rapini, sausage, and garlic confit. Additional menu items, like an asiago-filled arancini appetizer and a pistachio-orange-ricotta cannoli for dessert, skillfully round out the menu." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"Villeray has a strong contingent of spots where to sample Italian classics, but a seat at this three-year-old eatery may arguably be its most sought-after. Owners Luca Cianciulli and Maxime Landry bring experience from acclaimed Toqué, and the result is simple, sumptuous fare in a super cozy atmosphere." - Daniel Bromberg, Valerie Silva
