    This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the Albuquerque area! Itโ€™s a little tacky inside but donโ€™t let that fool you! Everything is made fresh from scratch and it really shows in their dishes. They have some of the most unique Italian dishes I have ever seen and the dessert menu was really fun and tasty. This was paired with excellent service. Our server Charles was awesome and went above and beyond for us!

    Went last night. The food was great. The service was slow especially for not being that busy. The portions are also pretty small for the price.

    It had been a while since I had italian. This American-Italian restaurant is right in between fancy and casual. The food was amazing and so were the waiters there. They wore tie which was different. I would recommend this place if you want a good American-Italian taste.

    The food was excellent, the atmosphere was great for a Sunday lunch, but the only negative was waiting (no joke) 10 minutes before we were even asked for our drink order. Other than that little mistep, the food was so fresh and seasoned well. Their fried calamari came with an indulgent sauce that I wanted to die for. I opted out for roasted artichoke and get this savory, onion, feta, eggplant doused in some amazing oil. Will return for the food, hopefully they're fully staffed next time.

    Wow! ($60) for 2 people that had reservations... Reservations at Noon on Sunday... Showed up 10 minutes early. Everything was fine, until we ordered our food. Waited over an hour for it to come, it was cold, the steak was tough and rubbery. The pasta was under cooked. Never got a refill, was able to see the dessert menu, but apparently we weren't able to order any. At 10 til 4, we were ready to leave, but couldn't find anyone to get our bill. So, we went up to the counter to pay... The girls at the front completely ignored us. Until my friend got in the face of one of the girls and politely asked to be billed so that we could leave. Poorest service, we've had. We're completely understanding of the struggles of such businesses because, we are business owners too. So, why did it seem as though we were being discriminated against? We witnessed many other people being served on time, their servers were polite and they received much better service all around. Worst part... When we left, we saw our waitress hanging out behind the building having a smoke and talking on her phone.... Guess we showed up during her lunch "hour's" and we must've been an inconvenience... To our waitress, we apologize for taking up your personal time. No worries though, we won't be going back.

    Absolutely amazing Italian food! Soooo grateful we tried this place out and experienced it for the first time. The staff were incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcomed. Now the drinks were absolutely fantastic, and I loved the espresso martini. The truffle fries were crispy and so tasty. The appetizers were amazing, and the entrees even better. The cheese wheel pasta was our favorite experience overall. Lastly, the atmosphere was spectacular and really made the whole experience there so wonderful. We canโ€™t wait to go back here with our friends again for another dinner!

    If you're unaware that M'tucci's is a well known, loved and respected name on the Albuquerque restaurant biz you've been living under a rock. M'tucci's Italian (the first/original of multiple, uniquely named M'tucci locations) was opened in 2013 and quickly became a fan favorite. With an immense menu and clearly attentive and passionate staff it was hard to beat. If you're lucky enough to have the calories in your diet to spare, this is a place that means business. All the menu items are crafted with exceptional care, down to the individual ingredients (e.g. the pepperoni for the pizza is not plain Jane pepperoni, it has a kick to it). Parking is a breeze and it's not hard to find. There is another seating indoors and out (or the bar, if you choose). The staff are exceptional in their knowledge and interest in making the patrons happy. Drinks were refilled before we asked and the kitchen was very accommodating to dietary limitations in our party. Reservations are not needed but if you're bringing a crowd or having a party, they are always recommended. For those sensitive to volume, during peak hours it can get quite loud inside. On Thursdays they also feature live music. It's not garage punk music but it does add to the volume. If you're pondering Italian for your next meal, the only mistake you can make is going somewhere else.

    Honestly, it was really good food and authentic. I'm not a big fan of Italian food because 5 bites into a big bowl of spaghetti or whatever it all just starts to taste the same but not with this food. The food was very well prepared and made, and I had probably one of the best cooked chicken breasts ever! Only points I'm taking off is the how its on the expensive side of casual restaurants but the food makes up for it!

    Mโ€™tucciโ€™s was fantastic. Not only do you get a great taste of Italy, but they had a daily special ravioli that included green chile in the pesto sauce. I wasnโ€™t sure how green chili tastes in a pesto sauce but I can say it was perfection. The clam steamers are also a must! Try to get some extra bread to dip in the sauce!

    This was one of the only places open late on our drive through town on a long road trip - and I'm so glad they were! The pasta is cooked fresh daily, and oh could you tell! Our meals were great, and the service was astounding (especially considering we were in pretty close to closing time). I wish I could remember our server's name because she was so wonderful to us road weary travelers, but I'll still give a shout out to the waitress who served a couple of Wisconsinites before close on Sat 11/13!

    There is alot to say but no time to say how wonderful of an experience you get entering this amazing establishment. The head chef was a great man who takes pride and delicateness to the art he creates with food. The staff and front of the house do acknowledge you and make you known. Worth your time and $$.

    A solid Italian place but nothing special. Started with calamari which was a bit rubbery but the sauces were nice. I had risotto which seemed a little watery. My wife and son both had pasta which were decent. Good service.

    Great food, Great place. It was recommended to me by many people, especially a young girl a met on a plane coming from Tampa Florida.

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place open late. Lovely server. Right next to the highway. Recommend the lobster prosciutto ravioli! Manager/ owner came over and chatted me up for a minute ( friendly, but didnโ€™t beg for this review ). And quick service. Iโ€™d definitely come back.

    Went in today, overall great experience. Staff appears and operates like well experienced restaurant employees. Host, server etc were treating us well. Rachel had great recommendations and answered questions about the menu politely when it was our first time in. Nice folks and the food was tasty. Ambience was well, at first i thought dark when walking in on a super sunny day. Then i found i liked the lighting inside and it was just right. I would love to return and try more of their orders and enjoy the relaxed restaurant atmosphere some day on a day trip. Thanks

    Always delicious Italian food and great service! Been coming here for years and have high expectations every time based on our previous visits. Nice ambiance and friendly staff make the entire experience enjoyable. We've tried half of the menu items and have been happy with all of them. They do a great job of creating tasty dishes with multiple levels of complementary flavors, even some that are unexpectedly great together. Only thing I'd caution against is bringing people who prefer bland food, since they may have trouble finding something to enjoy - my kids don't like the pizza, but do enjoy the spaghetti & meatballs. They always help us destroy the charcuterie though - a must order item.

    Best food I've EVER HAD! Seriously good waitress, and lovely experience. I got the pizza, and also got the cheese wheel pasta. SO GOOD! 10/10 recommend. If you're willing to pay a hefty price, it's worth it.
