   Our waitress was wonderful. She was attentive and friendly. The food was okay. The garlic shrimp tapas was overcooked and my caprese salad was decent. The atmosphere on the west side of the restaurant was loud and bright, more like a cafeteria style setting.

   We are big fans of M’tucci’s, it’s our favorite restaurant for Italian food and dine here often. Service is always very good. In fact we had dinner at the location on Coors last week with friends and last night at the Pan America location with family. The eggplant entree at both locations wasn’t as good as usual. I don’t think the cheese had been added to the pasta and it had a different flavor all together. Maybe new chefs? We usually go around 6:00 pm but last night we went at 7:00. The noise level was so high between the piped in music, the music from the live band from 7:30 on, the kitchen noise on top of the voices of all of the customers (it was a full house so kiddos) that we couldn’t even hear ourselves talk and had to yell. That’s not enjoyable to us. We’ll wait a couple of months before going back and be sure we’re there earlier to avoid some of the noise. Hopefully whatever changes seems to be going on in the kitchen will be back to normal by then too.

   Too expensive for lunch. I had two experiences. One was takeout for lunch. $16 for spaghetti snd meatballs…I subbed chicken for meatballs and they charged me $3 more. I asked for bread and it was another $3! All in all my lunch was $26! Ok if it were big enough to split. NOPE! Portion was small! A lunch sized portion but dinner prices! Never again! Then I give it one more chance…took a colleague there for a birthday lunch. Again lunch prices are basically dinnner prices. They charge for bread which used to be complimentary and is so in most Italian places. $50 for a lunch and I left still hungry oh yea and my salmon was still raw!! Terrible prices for lunch!!! Not for common people

   Had the lamb with black truffle butter and amazing umami mushroom risotto special. As good, and expensive, as in Santa Fe.

   I ordered the "cut of the day", advertised as a steak. I recieved the correct sides but I did not recieve a steak. Instead, I recieved a pork chop. I was never informed that the steak would be pork. My meal ended up being twice as much as the other pros chop on the menu. I csnt tell if I got the wrong meat or was just overcharged. My meal ticket read "porterhouse".

   We had a reservation for two weeks, arrived and the hostess took us to a table right in front of a kitchen exit. We asked if we could change tables to one of the many that were open and she huffed and said well we have Togo back up front. She then told the other hostess, who visibly rolled her eyes and made a face I can only describe as very annoyed that we requested a different table. So, the first hostess took us back in the dining room and was going to put us at a table directly in front of the other kitchen door. We said no thanks and left. It really was because of the rude and obviously annoyed hostesses we left. It was my wife’s birthday dinner, there were multiple other tables and five open spaces at the banquette, but they insisted on putting us at a bad table right in the path of both kitchen doors. We were super excited to eat there but not any more. We ended up at Tomasita’s next door, excellent hostess, service, and food. Thanks to the two hostesses for their displeasure and annoyance that we wanted a better table to celebrate. If I could give a negative star I would. Poor first impression M’Tucci’s.

   My dish, the chicken milanese was very tasty. The chicken was done to perfection. Unfortunately the pasta was too pasty and somewhat 'heavy' not light as it should be. I had to order more of the spicy red sauce to soften it up. The sauce itself was excellent. My wife's duck was some of the best she has eaten certainly in Albuquerque. Our server, Gabriel was attentive, friendly and very prompt with serving and removing our plates. We asked to be moved from the rather spartan and somewhat chilly side room off the bar to the main dining room where it was more comfortable and warmer. The house wine was of an acceptable quality for an $8/glass of wine but the glass it was served in was not a traditional wine glass that detracted from the wine itself. The meal price was reasonable ($62) for an appetizer and two entrees with one glass of wine. The server got a $12 tip, slightly more than I would normally tip, but he earned it. All in all, a pleasing experience and probably the best Italian food I've eaten in Albuquerque (it was my second time dining at M'tucci's having had a wonderful lunch at the Central Ave. location).

    Our waitress was outstanding with service, recommendations, and maintained a moderate check in that wasn’t overwhelming. Very charismatic lady! The food was worth the money, very savory and full of flavors. Went near closing, so the room was moderately noisy at the bar. It wasn’t enough to be bothersome in the dining area. Seemed very upbeat and everyone enjoyed their time.

    After many lunches, finally made it for dinner. Exciting to see only 3 open tables on a Tuesday night. Food was outstanding as usual, however we had to repeatedly request water refills. One issue is the server repeatedly filled the tall skinny glass with ice and then the rest with water. While necessary in the summer, not as much ice required in the winter. Hangar steak, salt water potatoes & asparagus were delicious! The server was very polite & informative, only not as attentive as desired.

    First time here. Service was great. More of a family restaurant than for special occasions. We were there for our anniversary and I noted it on reservation. It was not acknowledged by anyone even the hostess. Very disappointed. No effort made to seat us in a more out of way spot. We were right in line of kitchen entrance/exit. Overpriced. Charging for 4 slices of bread was ridiculous as an appetizer. Only Italian place I have bean to where bread doesn't come with meal. Food was just ok. Nothing special. Don't think I'll come back. Better places to go.

    The waitress was very good, helpful, pleasant and not overbearing. I felt like there wasn't enough sauce on my spaghetti and meatballs but the taste was really good. There could have been more beets on my beet salad, but again taste was great. Kind of felt like it was all off a bit, but would go back, may have just been an off kind of day.

    We went to M'tucci's 25 for New Year's Eve. It was really busy, but the staff were on top of everything. The food and service were excellent, we all enjoyed our meals. The live music was a fun addition.

    M'Tucci's has become our favorite for special dinners as well as more casual breaks. We enjoyed a lovely New Year's Eve dinner for 6. All enjoyed their choices, from appetizer to dessert. We felt well cared for by our server and the sommelier opening out prosecco.

    Mtucci is usually very consistent but this visit was very disappointing. The garlic shrimp were very small and I could even taste the garlic. Elk was the cut of the day and was supposed to be cooked medium rare but was well done. The drink were good and so was the service but the food was lacking.

    Went for Christmas Eve dinner with my family. First time eating here and would highly recommend. Food was great — my husband is a NY Italian (ie picky audience) and gave it a thumbs up. The charcuterie board is fabulous. It was a big group of people and looking around the table everyone’s food looked amazing. The best part of this restaurant was absolutely the service. Above and beyond to say the least. Great experience and will be back!

    The service was superb, and the food was wonderful. Christmas Eve is a very special day for us, and M'Tucci made it even more special. We would certainly recommend it to our friends and family. In fact, a family member even gave us a M'Tucci's gift card for Christmas. Needless to say, "we'll be back".

    It was a horrible experience. I made reservations and the host sat us next to the largest loudest party in the restaurant and all the tables around us were empty. I asked to be seated at another table - away from the large party, and the host said no and gave no reason. The food was cold and tasteless and took forever. The restaurant was half empty and the service was terrible. We will never return - this was our first visit.

    Overall I wish that I had chosen a different restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I am not sure if it was all of the pressure from the large parties but the entire experience was quite unpleasant. I ordered a $12 glass of wine and was given a 5oz pour which I was told was “normal”, the brisket ravioli was very small and seemed like more of a soup, a friend of mine also purchased some cupcakes and we were told there was a $10 charge for outside desserts which I have never had an issue with elsewhere. Everyone is entitled to run their business as they choose but I will definitely be taking my money elsewhere.

    One of the worst meals I've ever had. Ordered the brisket ravioli. Got something that looked like ravioli soup with unidentifiable vegetables. The taste was even worse. The entire dish tasted of overpowering vinegar. The carrots were hard and raw, far from al dente, and the onions (at least I think they were onions) were mushy. What an awful meal. It was my second bad meal at this restaurant. Gave it a 2nd chance, never again.

    Great service…menu and needs an upgrade…had the fish of the day (grilled shrimp) with farro but then they served a side of mash potatoes. The brisket ravioli was not good. It was just cheese raviolis not with brisket pieces. We thought it was brisket raviolis.

    For the price you’d think service was better, hostess was not pleasant, this would be an outstanding place if service was better, food was great but lack of service, I won’t be eating here again for a long while

    M'tucci's Twenty-fiveResponded on December 17, 2022Hi Tamara. I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't receive great service. I certainly agree with you when it comes to service, and I am the same way. I often won't return to a place just based on bad service alone. However, it kills me to hear that because I pride myself on managing a staff that gives outstanding service, and what you received was far from it. I would love to invite you back to try us again and I will reach out privately to do so, but I wanted to thank you for the feedback.

    On a Saturday night in the Christmas season the restaurant was slammed with customers. Without a reservation the wait was 1 1/2 hours. With our reservation we got to the restaurant about 15 minutes early and were seated at our reservation time. The wait staff was excellent despite the large crowds. Our food was delivered without an excessive wait and was served hot. All four members of our party said their food was delicious. The biggest problem was finding a parking space in the parking lot that also serves several other restaurants.
