Our mission is to open a few restaurants that take care of our guests in every way-treating them like guests in our home, making sure that they feel embraced by the joy with which we extend our hospitality, and making sure that they become entranced by our restaurant. We understand the value of 'regulars' returning weekly and in many cases more frequently. We hope that all of our guests will feel that they belong to a private club, to which we welcome them again and again. M'tucci's Moderno located in Rio Rancho is a sister of our first restaurant, M'tucci's Italian, which is located at Coors and Montano on Albuquerque's West Side. At Moderno, we continue to offer a moderately priced, Italian menu built on a foundation of both traditional and contemporary recipes. The menu, together with the bar (full liquor license) menu, is offered in a contemporary building with black steel elements, high ceilings, and a big garage door that opens to the Sandia Mountains. Inside the steel, we have inserted a more traditional looking wood clad restaurant featuring traditional lighting and Edison bulbs, as well as other playful elements. Our congenial bar and mezzanine offer alternative spaces within which to enjoy M'tucci's food and beverage. Moderno's bar program features our unique shrubs as well as a new collection of original cocktails to complement our food and wine. Our mezzanine can also be reserved for private groups. M'tucci's Moderno is located just west of Presbyterian's Rust Medical Center. At the end of 2016, Jeff Spiegel, Katie Gardner, and John Haas, founders of M'tucci's Restaurants, welcomed five new partners to their ownership team: Austin Leard, Sherri Rivenburgh, Cory Gray, Shawn Cronin and Chris O'Sickey. This ensures that M'tucci's Restaurants are here for the long haul.

This is the BEST place in New Mexico to relax with a perfectly balanced cocktail while munching on tasty scallops or other fare, while listening to beautiful jazz and songbook standards performed live by musicians that know and live the music. I haven’t found any other place in the state that feels so good to me, and I’ll keep looking, but always come home to Teddys.

We went on a Thursday night as a couple for a celebratory dinner. It was fun being greeted by Eddie the Gangster and hearing his story. The place was crowded but they got us a table close to the time of our reservation. You wait in the car until they text you that the table is ready. There was live, gentle guitar music being played and we enjoyed it all through dinner. We shared the crab cakes, a bottle of red wine, the filet mignon with baked potato and green beans, and a cinnamon roll cake for dessert. The server was attentive and pleasant. Very nice evening out. We'll be back!
