- JJarrodLas Vegas •2 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoOverall good food but not great and same for service. Chantilly cake was dry. Red chile chicken was good but slightly dry texture. Service was slow, had to wait far to long for refills and ordering new drinks.More infoMission WineryPrice: Moderate• American• Albuquerque•4.3
- AAaronNew Mexico •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe 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!More infoM'tuccis Bar RomaPrice: Moderate• Italian• University of New Mexico South•4.6

My husband is not usually brave with his food choices, but loved the shrimp enchiladas which he had never had before. I had the sirloin & enchiladas. Very good. Finished with the chocolate torte.

- SStephenNew Mexico •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoMy wife and I went to celebrate 20 years since we got engaged here. Our waitress, Trinity, was a delight. My wife had the chicken Marsala which was very tender and tasty. I had the branzino which was delicate and paired wonderfully with the mushroom risotto. The dessert, tarte tatin, was the perfect cap for the meal. The entire staff was friendly and made this a special evening.More infoScaloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Albuquerque•4
