Previous dinner visit.

From the moment I stepped into M'tucci's Bar Roma, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and Lydiana's attentive and friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The Hangar steak was cooked to perfection - juicy and flavorful, leaving me wanting to savor every bite. The Amaro glazed spare ribs appetizer was a delightful surprise, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes that tantalized my taste buds.

As for the pizza, it was a culinary masterpiece! The combination of sausage, clam, and Pink Patagonia shrimp on a sourdough crust was a unique and delightful flavor explosion. Each ingredient complemented the others perfectly, and the crust was just the right amount of crispy and chewy.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that allowed me to fully enjoy the meal. It's evident that M'tucci's Bar Roma takes pride in their culinary creations and the level of service they provide to their guests.

I left the restaurant with a full belly, a smile on my face, and a desire to return as soon as possible. Without a doubt, M'tucci's Bar Roma and the exceptional service from Lydiana have earned my highest recommendation. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an outstanding dining experience, this restaurant is the place to go!

What an exceptional experience! This was our first time at M’Tucci’s and it definitely did not disappoint. My husband said it was “divine”, while I agree. After living in Albuquerque for almost five months now, this is the best restaurant we’ve been to.

Our server Seth was attentive, friendly, and explained the restaurant since it was our first visit. He said the executive chef at this location is Damien Lucero, who specializes in pork in the restaurant’s scratch kitchen. He said it’s it’s a scratch kitchen, everything is easily customizable. He also recommended the “PDR” for seating for the rest of the summer, the location’s addition, which is the coolest part of the restaurant. A good recommendation for the hot Albuquerque summers!

We split the bruschetta pomodoro, which had marinated tomatoes, local basil, shaved aged parmesan, and a sweet balsamic reduction on a grilled baguette. On a hot summer’s day, the cool tomatoes and basil were refreshing, and we both particularly enjoyed the balsamic.

I had the Linguini Alla Gricia, which has braised pork belly, fresh herbs, linguine, pecorino cream sauce, a soft egg yolk, “young parmesan”, and fresh cracked pepper. Our server described it as savory, and it was, as well as absolutely delicious. The pork was crispy as well as succulent.

My hubby had the Porchetta Alla Romana, another dish with pork. He couldn’t stop raving about it!

We both decided this is easily our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. It had exceptional food, amazing service, and a nice atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to going back. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

What an excellent restaurant in downtown Albuquerque! Food is simply delicious! I went with a friend and I enjoyed it so much that I brought my wife the next day. The atmosphere is relaxed, you will find from families in very casual attire, to groups more dressed up. Service is great, the building is spacious and well lit, perfect to enjoy a wonderful meal.

Atmosphere kills in here, the designer did such a great job! As for the food the Pasta Tartufo was lovely I enjoyed the lemony taste with the flavorful mushrooms. The Eggplant Parmesan was great the noodles that went along with it though were a little on the bland side. Tiramisu and our drinks were definite highlights. My latte was perfect and the Blackberry mocktail was stellar. Will be coming again!

This has fast become my favorite Italian spot in Albuquerque. The renovations they did are impeccable. The color scheme and details are perfect for the space. I especially love the chandeliers.

The menu is extensive and I actually want to try EVERYTHING on the menu. I’ve tried quite a few dishes already and they’re all delicious. They also have a brunch menu and drinks which was great! I was surprised it wasn’t busy at 11pm on a Sunday. I think it’s a hidden gem for brunch.

The calamari is the best in town. Breaded nicely and not chewy. The basil olive oil with the bread plate is to die for. So far I’ve eaten the braised pork belly, seared duck breast, Angus (not Wagyu, they said they stopped carrying it but haven’t changed the menu nor have they lowered the price) picanha steak, and pork belly brunch dish with polenta, fried egg and kale.
