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.

Vernon's Speakeasy is the only speakeasy restaurant in New Mexico! We feature exquisite steaks and seafood and American cuisine in a superb dining atmosphere. The culmination of live music, great food and top notch service, as well as the need for "the Password", create an atmosphere and dining experience that surely proves to be one of a kind.

    Our favorite restaurant! We are treated like we are part owners! This is where we desire to spend our birthday and anniversary dinners! I literally cannot rave enough about the service that embodies this establishment! Never has a meal fallen below the mark of excellence! Sabrina exhibited what a servant's heart represents! Without the best service possible, the meal can become second rate... no matter how excellent the meal is!! Yes, the evening meals may be expensive, but we recommend that you make an effort to treat yourselves to best restaurant experience in the state of New Mexico!

    Our server was a young female. Almost looking like the actress Jenna Ortega. She was highly professional but she read the room. I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants and most servers are like salesman. She was above that. She wasn’t selling service she was selling an ambiance I haven’t received. My partner that was a server for years has high standards. She wasn’t selling service pleased above and beyond. You did yourself great. Screw the amount of famous people that have shown up there the style locations energy and the food was enough. You’ll stay around. Move locations to a bigger spot eventually but good job! 👏🏼💜🔥
