You know I haven't been here in a long time. I wanna say the last time I was here was for a Yelp event a couple years ago. The staff is phenomenal. They really take care of ya from the start to finish. Although the menu can feel a bit overwhelming the food speaks for itself. Not to mention the relaxing atmosphere in the dining area. This time around I brought my mother who is from Texas. She was visiting and wanted something different. Again going back to the menu it can be a little an overwhelming at first but if you read the details there's a little something for everyone. My last few go arounds I got the pizza but I got curious when I saw the Chicken Milanese. Reading the description it sounded a lot like a chicken parm. My mother loves chicken parm so we both went ahead and ordered it and of course I had to have some pizza so we got that as well. The Chicken Milanese is by far a beautiful masterpiece. Although I ordered the half, let me tell ya that piece of chicken was huge! I took my first bite and I fell in love with the perfectly crispy crust and the delicious perfectly cooked chicken. Combined with the noodles omg I was in heaven. Of course the pizza did not disappoint either. The crust perfectly crispy and fluffy. The pepperoni was magnificent. Bravo M'tucci's.. bravo! Thank you for a magnificent lunch my mother and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be returning! read more

I was a part of a large group on a Wednesday. I couldn't believe how packed it was. The server was wonderful. He split all the checks correctly and was very attentive. I was bummed I couldn't get a no proof cocktail. And I really don't care for their selection of food. I ordered the carbonara but I feel like it was just okay. But I don't think I would've liked anything else on the menu either... read more

Still working things out I don't think they get a lot of traffic. The pasta was a little bland, but pasta tends to be that way. The bartender seemed a little high, but it. What else do you do in the back when you get a break? read more

Ordered delivery tonight from M'Tucci's Twenty-Five and it was awesome!!! so delicious! got the Hanger Steak and it was delicious. The sides that came with it, potatoes and green beans, were really good too. With sick family member and too tired to cook, a really delicious meal was very much appreciated! Thank you so much! Great job. Really tasty food! read more

Great Italian date place! I feel like that should say it all. They got a bar, a quiet fire place type area and a general for everybody area; not to mention outside seating for when it's warm enough. Service was stellar. I had to order an item unexpectedly last minute after the last call and they still did it for me. The servers are also on top of custom orders to accommodate allergens and preferences. Food was equally awesome. Crab ravioli was super tasty. read more

Most unwelcoming bar dining experience I've encountered. We left before had a chance to get a drink. Notified the management team and they were apologetic. Anyhow, we left and zero plans for a return ever. Can't even explain the attitude and tone that the bartender displayed. Terrible. Adiós. So bad read more

Went to M'tucci's 25 for Happy Hour tonight. We had excellent service , with kind and friendly servers. The food was very good and drinks were outstanding. We will return for drinks and dinner next time! read more

Usually I like to give a well rounded review. Service. Food. Ambiance. Price. Usually I find 1 or 2 things the need improvement, tweaking or attention. I don't usually visit an establishment that gets 5 stars across the board for Service AND Food AND Ambiance AND Price but M'Tucci's deserves all of the stars. On the night we visited the Establishment was super clean and neat and orderly and ready to take on a busy night. The Hostess was attentive and quick to acknowledge us and guide us to our table. Our waitress, Rachel K was super friendly and helpful with the menu, suggestions and attentiveness. I highly recommend starting with a Build Your own Charcuterie board! The meats and cheese and olives were fresh and light and a perfect start to our meal. My Lobster Ravioli was .... I want to say delightful but I don't think that word is strong enough to describe just how delicious it was. Who knew Green Chile would pair so well with Lobster Ravioli? Then again, it's green chile so who am I kidding. What does it NOT pair well with? My husband's Grilled Pork Chop and Polenta was mouth watering! I LOVE a well cooked juicy pork chop and this one was it. And the bread.... My Lord the bread! I didn't realize that they had charged us for our second basket of bread but I don't care. Worth every penny! All of this for less than $100 BEFORE Tip. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about my visit to M'Tucci's and highly recommend you give it a try. read more

The food was so fresh and good!! but better than that, our bartender/server Diego was one of the best we have had in a long time. Diego enjoys his job and made our whole experience even more elevated than this lovely establishment!! We will definitely be back, if you go ask for Diego. read more

With out of state guests we wanted to try a different M'Tucci's so we picked 25; what a disaster. The salmon came in some sort of green sauce, said various veggies, these were like little scrap pieces of various leftovers, told it was a "hash"-no seasonings and weird looking, did not eat this. Then the salted smashed potatoes, someone needs to learn to make these, there was some salt on the outside pieces but they were dried out and bland. The Moderna ones are fabulous. The green beans were very under cooked, not even blanched. hard and again no seasoning at all so hard and tasteless, the hanger steak was burnt. Our server was great, the manager that came to our table was rude and bitchy, we will NEVER be back. read more

Everything was good and a great portion for the price. I just wish the sauce was enough for the pasta and the chicken. The booth we sat in was nice and big but the seat was hard due to the padding being warm out. Staff was nice, just wish she would have checked on us after we got our food. I would if ordered more sauce. I did order some to go for my leftover food. read more

Great food and nice atmosphere. The staff are all friendly and quick to address any requests. All of the food taste fresh and we enjoyed our pasta meals. The charcuterie speck board was delicious just wish we had more bread. I asked for more and later found on the bill we were charged for it. I had the special aged beef ravioli but the meat was a bit salt for me but I liked everything else. My boyfriend enjoyed his sausage rigatoni plate. The flat bread was also good but not crispy as advertised. It was easy to fold and eat instead. Mixed drinks are a bit small and not strong but would like to try some wine on the next visit. read more

We enjoy all M'Tucci's restaurants but hadn't tried this one yet so we went for our 27th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed here either! Server Max and manager (?) Audrey were fantastic! Very friendly and attentive. We were in a booth by the kitchen entrance and I overheard an employee training a new employee stating she liked working here because everyone is so helpful and works well together. That's impressive! read more

I've been a fan of the west side M'Tuccis since it opened. It's more convenient for me, so that's typically where I land (and frequently). I had the chance to meet a friend at 25! for lunch and I jumped on it! I've been meaning to try this newest (?) branch of my favorite Albuquerque restaurant. I was not disappointed. I've tried many of their entrees and so it's difficult not to go to my favorites. This stop, I had a half salad with salmon added. The salmon was perfectly cooked (I happen to prefer medium), greens fresh. Oh, I ordered a side of their delicious bread, yum! I like the ambience at this latest version. It touts my favorite paint color (light yellow) and sets my mood to "sunshiny" immediately. We ate in the bar. This branch is more spacious than west side. Very open warm feel. If you've gone to other M'Tuccis and liked them, this is another location to visit. If you have not visited one yet, what are you waiting for? Valentines Day is coming up! Great ABQ original! read more

Wow, what a great Italian restaurant. We recently drove down from Breckenridge and were exhausted after our nine hour trip. After checking into the Marriott next door, we walk over and sat down, completely zonked. Our happy go lucky server, Joseph put smiles on our faces, with his fresh and upbeat demeanor. He was very genuine. We tried the house wines, both the Pinot and Sangiovese and found them to be very good. All their pastas btw are freshly made each day. So we ordered the Five Pork Bolognese and Sausage Rigatoni & Burrata. Both were excellent! Our tab ran us about $58 including taxes but before gratuities. Enjoy! read more

Ordered the garlic shrimp and beef tip appetizer's. The shrimp was small pink nasty unseasoned with zero garlic or butter, tasteless and not worth at all. The beef tips were burnt and salty, the polenta was not creamy but lumpy as a log. The eggplant Parmesan was not cooked all the way and had a hard crunch throughout. The spaghetti on the side had zero butter or cheese. This spot fell tf off. They went and opened too many locations and now can't handle the quality. Waste of money! read more

Went here for dinner with coworkers, and we had a great time. I ordered the fried brie, lobster and prosciutto ravioli, and tiramisu.

I ended up at both this location and the one in nob hill within a period of a couple of weeks and I realize I'd never written a review! Our server at the 25 location was great and super friendly. It's a nice sized space with booths, high top and regular tables and a pretty spacious bar area. I mostly try the vegetarian pasta dishes - this time it was the risotto which was very tasty. I have noticed though that they seem to have shifted to using what I think (no guarantee but that's the flavor) red pepper flakes as spicing in most of these dishes. For a risotto it really just overpowers and kills the subtle flavor. I don't recall this being the case in times past but it has been consistent with every vegetarian pasta dish I've tried at both this location and the nob hill one in the last say 6 months. I guess the recipes changed? And perhaps became more consistent. It's still a good location for group food and the staff is great so I will be back and maybe try a pizza and not add pepper flakes! read more

Very neat place. I'm very glad I called and made a reservation. It was a Thursday night but super busy! Very nice setting perfect for special occasions. The food!? Let's talk lol!! Very delicious and surprisingly unique. I had the lobster ravioli. It was spicy but not overwhelming. Very unique flavor. The Chicken marseille was very very amazing. The chicken was great but the amazing part was the pasta! Yummy. My honey had the brisket ravioli and he liked it but a little to soupy. Desserts hhmmm that part I was not impressed at all. The tiramisu was was definitely different but not in a good way. Just not what I was hoped for. Overall a good place. read more

M'tucci's Twenty-Five - Calamari - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We live on the west side, so this M'Tucci's isn't close. However, this past Saturday we happened to be in the neighborhood, so we thought we'd check it out. This is a really good find!! I loved visiting there. There's only one downside, so I'll mention that now, to get it out of the way. The parking spaces here are miserably narrow. I'm guessing it isn't the fault of M'Tucci's Twenty-Five. We have one vehicle, a Toyota Sienna. I couldn't find any place to park it in M'Tucci's Twenty-Five parking lot, without giving me the feeling that either I couldn't get out of my minivan, or I could, but the guy's car next to me couldn't get into his vehicle when he was done dining. I dropped my wife at the door, then drove over to the Century Rio 24 theater parking lot, then walk back to M'Tucci's Twenty-Five. OK, now that that's out of the way, let me describe what a wonderful time we had. Whenever I go to M'Tucci's (any of their three locations) I live to have a Whiskey Negroni. (Take a regular Negroni, then substitute whiskey for the gin that normally comes with a Negroni. I don't like gin, so I substitute whiskey. In this case I had Woodford Reserve - very nice.) We started with a Smoked Prosciutto Board. Nice. I'd no idea how good the Parmesan Reggainnito could be. Very thing was so delicious. And the Rotating Shrub Jam - WOW, what a surprise!! Made me wish I had a jar of that. We also shared a house salad, which was delicious and big enough for the two of us. My wife ordered the Applewood Smoked 21 Day Cured Brisket Ravioli. Delicious and rich entree. I ordered the Sausage Rigatoni & Burrata. Oh WOW, was that good. I could have gone with either. Our time at M'Tucci's Twenty-Five was both delightful and memorable. Only because it is quite a distance from our home, we won't be going there often. However, I wish that were not so, because the ambiance was so delightful, that I know if we lived closer it would be a place we would frequent as often as possible. read more

We went a few months back and I'm super behind in my Yelp reviews.. I got the Eggplant Parmesan which came with a side of Alfredo. The eggplant was pretty good, and the Alfredo was good but almost too much cheese and I love cheese.. but it was too much. Would have preferred maybe less Alfredo sauce and mix may be a marinara or something. My husband got a Chicken dish that was good and he said the chicken was good and the the flavor was just right. Services was a little slow the day we went but very friendly and the manger stopped by to see how our food was as well. Overall it was good but I wasn't blown away. read more

For dinner last night I was REALLY craving crab cakes, and found @mtuccistwentyfive. So you know it was time for another Saturday #abqrestaurants #review... and another opportunity to express the #joy that comes with #foodfreedom and how, armed with a little bit of #gentlenutrition , choosing a balanced meal was straightforward! (It's a beautiful process that takes time and isn't an overnight fix but soooooo incredibly worth it!!!) Georgina was super sweet and an excellent server!!! Paired with their citrus braised beet and arugula salad as an appetizer (oh it was good!!!) , I chose a pizza instead of crab cakes because it was unlike anything that I would have considered to a put together! Picture: apples on a pizza! This one had smoked prosciutto, apples, goat cheese, kale, red onion and a balsamic reduction and worked together so well, I totally forgot about crab cakes The meal refueled our batteries so well that we stayed awake until bed time! #gourmetrecovery #intuitiveeating read more

Still love this place! In my previous update I said "never fail to disappoint" what I really meant was they never fail to impress!" Sorry about that! This place is great, give it a shot. Though I do have to say the chicken sandwich for lunch was a bit strange, wasn't a huge fan of the multiple flavor combinations (fig and chipotle on fried chicken with celery?). I'd like to see more affordable lunch options since I work around the corner. read more

Had a great dinner last night,the wine choices were as always great. Had the cassoulet and I must say I have had cassoulet in many places, this tasted great but was not a classic cassoulet.

We also had the bread with their shrub jam. Everything was fresh and delicious. It is expensive. You have to pay $3 for 4-5 slices of bread. And extra fir their homemade jam.

M'tucci's has been a go to in my family for years now. They always have great hospitality and service. We were regulars at the Montano location, but have been frequenting the new I-25 location near the Jefferson Exit. The staff did a great job of turning the Chama River Brewing building into their own. It's cozy and great for large parties. On Sunday we dropped by for lunch. I had the pepperoni and green chile pizza. It was delicious. The dough was perfect and the green chile had flavor and heat. One of my favs is the eggplant parm. You also can't go wrong with any of their pasta dishes. read more

Let me begin by saying that I am a long-time supporter of all of the M'tucci's locations. But today, my experience was not okay. I went to the 25 location with two other friends for lunch. As we were looking at the awesome 30 minute, $16.00 lunch menu, we were talking about the chicken panini sandwich. At that moment, the Manager stopped by our table and told us that his preferred way to serve that sandwich was to substitute bacon and a red chipotle aioli instead of the yogurt cream sauce. We all agreed that it sounded wonderful and two of us ordered it. However, when we got our bill, the amount for the sandwich was not $16.00 I asked the server about it and she said it was because we had substituted bacon. I said, well, why did the Manager not mention that upcharge to us. She sent him over to explain. His explanation was that it is a restaurant and a business and they were not going to give us bacon without charging us, after all, it is his job to upsell us. Okay, so I politely asked that in the future he let his customers know when he made that suggestion that it involved an up charge. His reply was that he assumed that customers understood that there is an upcharge when you change the menu as stated. I paid the bill, of course. But it left me certain to not go to that M'Tuccis again, He simply could have apologized and acknowledged that he did not communicate as well as he should have instead of implying that I was stupid to not know that a substitute would incur an additional charge. Really poor customer service from a Manager. $30.00 for a sandwich for lunch and a poor Manager's handling of the situation ensured that I will not return. read more

Excellent Italian food. The lunch menu has an excellent selection and perfect portion. You also get a salad and a delicious lemon cookie . We always start with calamari and bread. Never disappointed . read more

First visit to M25. Overall it was okay. Not great but not bad. Compared to their other locations. this is least favorite. We ordered drinks and the Cucumber Gimlet was good. Expresso Martini was good but the Italian Margarita didn't taste right. Probably the best was the appetizer of Bruschetta Pomordoro. For dinner we ordered a kids pasta with Pecorino sauce and it came out with barely any sauce so basically plain pasta. Daughter ordered Polpette + Polenta and that was the best entree. Wife ordered the Apple Smoked Brisket Ravioli and it came with so much juice that you would have thought it was a soup instead. I ordered the Double Smoked Double Bone Pork Chop and it was huge but lacked flavor. Our service was good. Overall, this was a good meal, but not great. We recommend the location in Nob Hill as our favorite followed by the Westside location. read more

Aaaamazing! Hands down the best Italian restaurant in town. Perfect for date nights or birthdays parties and very classy. I've never had something off the menu that I didn't like and that goes for their wine as well. Bottle prices are good too if you want to splurge! Service is on point every time I've gone here but they get busy. Make a reservation! Or try a night during the week. :) read more

We always go to M'Tucci's Moderno in Rio Rancho this time we decided to go to M'Tucci's Twenty-Five and boy am I glad we did. The menu is different, which is what we wanted, the specialty drinks were outstanding, the ambiance was so nice. It's a big restaurant so we sat in a separate room so it wasn't too loud. We all tried different dishes and shared and there was not one dish that wasn't good. They were all so good and the taste was even better. It was such a pleasure to see Amanda who now works at this location. She is always so happy and helpful. read more

All of the M'tucci's locations in Albuquerque are hard to beat. They have quite different offerings at each location, with a decent amount of overlap. M'tucci's twenty-five has a good size menu with plenty to choose from, all of which are amazingly crafted and delicious. They even have a good sized drink menu, including beer, wine, mixed drinks, italian sodas, coffee, etc. The service is always excellent, even though sometimes the food can take a while due to how busy they often are. We usually get the famiglia board to split, no matter how small or large our group is. Every entree that we've tried has had a great depth of flavor with contrasting and complementary flavors and textures to make it unique. We often show up when they are quite busy, but are usually able to get a table pretty quickly, if not immediately. read more

Made reservations for 8 to celebrate a friends anniversary. I was really impressed with this place. Lots of seating. Plenty of wait staff. We were greeted immediately upon entering by some very friendly ladies. We just waited a few minutes for our table considering it was a Friday night. My husband had the T-bone steak and really liked it. Very well cooked. The cheese board had a good variety of meats and cheeses. The fried brie was really good and came with plenty of dipping options. My daughter liked her crab cakes. The pizza was good and was shareable. The only problem we had was we ordered 2 of the seared scallops and 1 was way under cooked and hard to chew. Very rubbery. I do not recommend getting those. Overall it was a nice experience and we will return. read more
