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.

    Looked for a new Steak place. Walked in and (had a reservation) was greeted and seated. Very knowledgeable wait staff, respectful and friendly. Was offered the “Experience it” option and was not disappointed. Brazilian grill experience with a definite upgrade in the salad bar, so many options and I’m on a keto diet so it was nice to have so many choices! When the masterfully grilled and skewered meat came around my eyes were happy and my mouth was in heaven! I will definitely be back! I’m going to have the Waygu Ribeye next! brûléed cheesecake was just too hard to resist and was worth it!

    We made reservations a couple of months ago to celebrate our Valentine’s Day dinner along with my husband‘s birthday. This is our first time here at Mattucci’s and it has been by far the greatest experience overall! We tried different entrées which were succulent and spectacular. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, we were expecting the typical squared cubed tiramisu dessert. However, we were greatly surprised with a new version of tiramisu fabulously decorated. I’m so delicious that we wanted seconds thank you for the management and all the staff for this great experience and the ambience. Oh my gosh, the best!
