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.

We enjoyed DH Lescombes Cottonwood. The views are beautiful. We had a relatively quiet table at the long bar room. We enjoyed the wine tasting before we ordered. The food was tasty and served well. We will dine there again.

Boy, talk about a really unique experience!! At the front door, after we had our "password" validated, we were met by Micky with a baseball bat who made sure we knew what the houserules were. We were escorted to our table and prepared for a terrific dining experience. The food was expertly prepared and presented. It was a really enjoyable experience.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with friends. We arrived a little early but sat at the bar and Andy whipped us up some lovely drinks while we waited. We were seated on time and the service was great. Bread and Brie made a fantastic appetizer. The beet salad, filet, lamb, and halibut special were all delicious. As were the cheesecake and molten lava cake desserts. This was several years in a row for our Christmas Eve dinner at this classic neighborhood restaurant in Corrales.
