M'tucci's Moderno Italian - Rio Rancho

Kevin was so sweet and a great server!! Wonderful cocktails :-) Great view!

My first time here and was very pleased. The location, staff, atmosphere and food did not disappoint. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. The food was very tasty and delivered in a timely fashion. This location was very busy and the service was not lacking. The atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting. The meal.from the appetizers to the main courses were superb. The grand finally were the desserts. The Tiramisu looked very different and it was amazing!!!! The espresso was fantastic. This place is definitely doing it right and will be a regular spot for Italian!!!!

Amazing food, excellent service, and extremely well priced for the quality and service. We had bread and oil for appetizers, two entrees, and the tiramisu(which was incredible). All under 50 bucks. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs, my wife had the Chipotle Chicken Pasta. Everything was delicious. We will be back.

We used to frequent M'tucci's when we lived in Rio, and it was always a favorite! 2 years ago, we moved across town but decided to dine there for our Valentine's dinner. Our waitress Beth was incredible! She was quick, nice, funny, and every recommendation made was excellent! It was definitely worth the drive! The mood and vibes are always perfect, and everyone is nice and pleasant. Truly missed the Shrimp Campanelle. (Both of our favorite and choice for the night). The appetizer was a valentines suggestion and hit the spot! Our desert was sweet and light but not overly sweet. Thank you Beth fir such a great experience 😊

Great food in a wonderful group and family friendly atmosphere. The design of this place is very well done. It looks beautiful inside. Our waitress was great and fast to respond to all our requests. I had the sausage tortellini which was amazing. Everyone else couldn't say enough good about their dishes. We all agreed this is going into our regular rotation of restaurants. Also of note, they offer a unique taster flight that was fun and original. You will be happy if you choose to eat here.

Fantastic place! This location is beautiful inside and out, and the food is fantastic. My only upset was finding out they didn’t have the 2 person pasta that the other location has. The truffle fries are literally the greatest fries I’ve ever had. We could honestly could go to M’tucci’s just for them. Will come back if in the area, but definitely recommend to anyone passing by!

The service, ambiance, and food were fantastic. M’tuccis’s never really misses. The apple slaw was really mayo-ey and the pepperoni on the flatbread wasn’t normal pepperoni but that was my only real complaint. The drinks were cheap and tasty, and the lunch menu is hard to beat. The meatball sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had

They have some Red Rasberry Cream Soda!!!<3 my food was quite good as well

We had an absolutely exceptional dining experience at the Rio Rancho M’Tucci’s for our Anniversary. When we made the reservation it asked for the occasion. When we got there we were seated to a festive table with heart shaped napkins and a placard saying Happy Anniversary and a complimentary desert after our meal and a little sparkler at the end of our dinner. Matthew our host seated us at an amazing table and he and his crew made the special items at the table for us, it absolutely made our night! Our waitress was Gwen, she was absolutely outstanding, knowledgable and very attentive and she was just top notch all the way around and added to our experience. The food was arranged beautifully and tasted wonderful! Thank you for an incredible Anniversary, we are beyond grateful and thankful! 5 stars for everything, what a wonderful night!

I just found my new favorite place to eat! Everything was outstanding at this restaurant. The service, food and atmosphere was top notch. If it wasn't for the spectacular view of the Sandias, I would believe this place was somewhere other than Albuquerque. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys a high quality dining experience. The plates range from $14 to $29, and the price is worth it. I had swordfish topped with arugula, artichoke and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. It was so delicious, I ate everything on my plate. I also had the buffalo shrimp as my appetizer, and let me tell you, the flavors were beyond words. I wish I would've found this place a long time ago!

Hi, I had a Margherita pizza($7) and a ($6)Prosciutto board and an Elevated IPA(?). I couldnt be happier right here right now. Good Job M'tucci's Mike went above and beyond to make sure my experience was a good one! Thx Mike!

The food was amazing. We had a large party, and the hostees were able to get us seated in minutes, though originally promised a 30-minute wait. The drinks were amazing, and so was our waiter who was on top of everything. We will be returning.

Service is always spot on! Make sure to get the calamari. Dinner was great. Bonus - if you buy a bottle of wine you can toss the cork into a glass behind the bar for a chance to win a gift card to cover the cost of the bottle.👏🏼

We were at the local hospital and found this place.And there was very good. We gotta take out and they were prompts.And did a good job but forgot the soup. I went back and I properly gave me the soup and it was very good.

Tonight was our first time coming to M'tucci's and we absolutely LOVED it!! The food is absolutely amazing! From our appetizer to our dessert, everything was beautifully plated, full in flavor and portions were generous. Our server Anthony C. went above and beyond from start to finish and we LOVED him!! He spent time talking with us, interacting with our kids, and was so attentive even when he was busy. We truly felt that he cared and had to let the manager Steven know. Both gentlemen were so kind on so many levels, we are so thankful. They made our special night so much better, thank you Anthony and Steven, we appreciate you both for your wonderful hospitality and the fact that you care so much. We appreciate you both as well as the cooks wonderful skill! We have found our new favorite place to eat and will definitely return!!

Always so friendly! Excellent service every time. I love the wall sized windows for mountain views. Strong, well made, tasty drinks. Never stingy. Food is always hot & timely. Flavorful too. I enjoy every visit!

Had the Raviolini with spicy marinara and sausage. Delish!! Special Valentine's Day dessert was light and very good. Great cocktails and espresso as well very enjoyable! We prefer the atmosphere of Bar Roma on Central but this was a nice change. And food excellent!

A consistently great experience, staff is always great, have not had a bad meal here ever, and if you order the hanger steak (which you absolutely should) they get it cooked right more consistently then the steak houses out here. It can get busy but I just think demonstrates how good the food is, and even in peak times I’ve not seen the service falter or the quality decrease!

I had a reservation for Valentine’s Day and the wait for food was a bit long (as expected), but my waiter totally made it up for it. Mad props to Chris for taking care of all of his tables while also keeping it together on a busy night. He also gave me free desert even though I was alone lol. Thank you Chris for your service

Excellent food. Our server was very nice. Great prices 3 people appetizer 3 mains dessert 1 beer 2 wines for 100.

Great staff and amazing food! The attention to detail with drinks is second to none. Bar staff is always welcoming and friendly. Live music makes the atmosphere enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Our server was AMAZING, the food was PHENOMENAL, the live music was way too loud, and the absence of actual booths makes me sad. At least we didn’t have to sit at one of those half-table/half-communal booth monstrosities. I REALLY wanted to leave three stars because the ambience is bad, but the service and food were so spectacular that I cannot do that

Stopped by for a late lunch and the food was great. I wanted to recognize our server Joseph. He was attentive, had a great disposition, and it felt like he genuinely cared about ensuring we had a good experience. Thank you so much!

I'll start off by saying the pricing of the dishes served here is on the higher side compared to the portions they serve. As for their lunch specials those are fairly priced. The food was delicious if you are looking for an Italian dish with fresh tasting ingredients this is a place to go. While there I ordered the Five Pork Bolognese, A Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, and The Fried Brie. I would also like to point out how great the service was, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall this place is worth at least trying out once.

Any of the charcuterie boards are always amazingly delicious, and are perfect to have as an appetizer. The drinks are very good but, in my opinion, they lack a taste of alcohol. The crispy chicken confit rissoto was yummy even though it was a little salty, but it had lots of celery, carrots, and mushrooms. We didn't have enough room for dessert but will make our way back just for that!

Great atmosphere Great personality Gray flavors Overall a great experience. Food feel like it was made at home, food had the taste of the authentic Italian

We met as a group for a Christmas party. The service was fast, polite, and efficient. The meeting room was beautiful and inviting. The food was mostly fabulous. The goat cheese on my grilled vegetable salad was fresh and delicious! We were surprised with a bonus charcuterie board and dessert. I'd definitely go back.

This was my first time at this location. The experience wasn’t as good as Bar Roma, but it was wasn’t bad. We ordered the Family Charcuterie and a bread basket. The Charcuterie was good, but needed some crunch. They only had bread which is unusual. Not a fan of the pork fat spread either. I split the special with my gf, my daughter got the sausage tortellini, and gf’s daughter ordered a fettuccini. A server brought out the wrong special dish which we questioned right away and our actual server brought out the correct one, but let us keep the original too. Both dishes were good. The only issue that we had with one was it seemed they cooked the beef or broccolini with the fish dish. We didn’t taste it, but my gf is allergic to fish and she started to have symptoms right away. The sausage tortellini was delicious, but had overwhelming chili heat. Luckily we gave one of the extra dishes to my daughter. The manager came out and apologized for the dish mixup. She also reminded us that we got an extra dish. Decent overall, but will probably only go there again for drinks.

This place has excellent food and excellent service. Food is our to the tables fast. Everything is made in house and is delicious. The only reason that I personally did not give a five star is the prices. A three person table at this restaurant should expect to pay 80 dollars or more with standard drinks. Overall a great experience just make sure that you are aware of the pricing especially if you are taking out a large group.

Their Basil oil is amazing. I also love their hummus plate but it could be better with more bread wedges.

Good has excellent taste. Absolutely loved the antipasto and salad. Pasta had great flavor but chef of the day overcooked it for everyone at the table, even on the second try.

I ate the salad, was very good...but after waiting over an hour for the food to come out, we stopped someone and asked for the check (had to get back to work)... Looked like they hadn't even started our food (became suspicious when others who arrived much after were being fed)... I don't want to tarnish their record, so gave 4 stars total (we all have bad days)... I might try them later if my wife ever decides to give them another chance. The manager did not charge us for the salad or anything... I would've liked to try that ny strip though lol. Give it a try, maybe avoid being seated in the bar area

I love the views from this location and the food was pretty good flavor wise. However 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered were not what we originally ordered. I ordered chicken marsala with green beans and Truffle fries. I received my orders sans green beans. We also ordered a crab and cheese fondue but they forgot to put the crab in 😕. Then we were told by our waiter that there was no crab in the dish and that it frequently happens. Im not sure if he was maybe having a bad day or was feeling overwhelmed but our waiter was kind of rude and condescending. It took 15 minutes after being seated just to be asked if we wanted anything to drink, though we tried several times to get his attention and he looked away several times. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I hope this will help the improvement of service

This food is bland! The pasta was overcooked, I got the pesto pasta which was green but somehow had no flavor. Not even salt!! It was like eating a plate of water. This is the exact type of Italian restaurant that proves that Americans don’t know what good Italian food is. I don’t understand why the restaurant was full, we should have just gotten the bread and oil for the table and called it a day because that was the only thing with any flavor. The cocktails were good and the server was great but I will not be wasting my money here ever again.

Bruschetta- different style, not for me, but my wife liked it. Calamari- 5/10- average. Mussels florentine- I am concerned that I will get sick. Not cooked right and a weird taste. First time I ever spit out a mussel. (I order mussels almost amytime they are available) First dish I had comped in years. Bad. (I go out to eat with my wife 5-8x a month, huge foodies) My wife had something salmon. She liked the potato/ corn thing they had going on, but did not like the salmon. Service- acceptable, but the waitress was trying to argue with me that the food was good and I just didn't get it because it was modern. Modern =/= bad. Gave like a 40-50% tip since half the meal was comped. Like I said, first time I had anything comped in years. Would rather go to Mario's or even Olive Garden.

Definitely not returning here. They had no problem seating two people for dinner and then tell me seating for one is going to be a 30 to 45 minute wait . This was after they tried to force me to sit in the bar.

"Ordered takeout and received raw meatballs and a raw pizza. This isn't just a mistake; it's a massive health hazard. When I called to address it, the manager was completely useless. He offered zero compensation, took no responsibility, and told me to 'just talk to DoorDash.' Newsflash: DoorDash didn't cook the food. If you’re okay with serving raw meat and doughy pizza and then blowing off your customers, you shouldn't be in business. I will never spend another dime here. Avoid this place unless you want food poisoning and an attitude

I will never eat here again. We went for lunch on Friday, I ordered eggplant parmesan, I received my plate and it literally had a piece of eggplant the size of a silver dollar pancake! One!!!!!! and about four twirls of a fork of spaghetti. The house salad was delicious! But 16.00 for a silver dollar pancake size piece of eggplant!!!!! I left there starving. The food was delicious, but never again.

First thought upon walking in was it felt like an even tackier Mimi’s Cafe. The service was average, maybe a little awkward. But the food was just disappointing. My gf ordered a ravioli dish and the portion was pretty pathetic. I believe it was $18 and there was like 6 small raviolis on the plate. I ordered a flank steak off the specials menu, but received an entirely different steak with different sides. There was apparently a mix up on their monthly specials menu and I got an old menu. I did get this resolved and the manager removed it from our check, but we still paid pre-tip $25 for one Italian soda and like 6 raviolis. The food itself was okay, but not in any way elevated enough to be serving such pretentious portions.

Ordered the spaghetti plate to go. Very disappointed with the meal. Noodles were very dry with very little sauce. Meatballs were ok but could not finish the meal and ended up throwing it away. Called the restaurant and was given a 25.00 coupon which was very much appreciated. Went back to give restaurant another chance. This time I ordered the shrimp (something) plate and again, was hugely disappointed. The to go box was practically empty; the portion size was so small. One flat layer of food that covered the bottom of the to go box but could easily be eaten in 4 bites. I took pictures and was gonna complain yet again, but I decided I was just not going to ever go back to eat at this restaurant and will not recommend it to anybody that asks.
