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.

Great menu with flavorful salads and entrees, good prices for lunch, little bit more expensive for dinner but worth it. Good and fast service from the minute you enter the front door. We enjoy sitting at high tops in the bar facing the Sandias, especially when the weather is warm and the entire wall opens up like a garage door. We've had grilled vegetable salad, roasted apple caesar, caprese salad, margherita pizza, lemon artichoke pasta, eggplant parmesan, chicken parmesan sandwich, chicken milanese and chicken saltimbocca, and lemon ricotta cookies -- and we love all of these dishes. Not only do we get Open Table points for our reservations but also points for M'Tucci's Rewards program. Daytime ambience is casual, but this is also a perfect place for date nights and special occasions. So nice to have some place other than fast food for family meals here on the West Side.
