If you're in the mood for tasty food and good atmosphere (and pretty affordable for upscale Italian food), would recommend this spot.

Being an Italian from New York City, I have to say that I am overall disappointed in M'Tucci's…read moreTwenty-Five. The first time that my fiance and I went there we had lunch, which was an amazing experience! It was a Wednesday afternoon in late January. Our waitress was the best waitress you can ask for, very attentive and on point, number one... Our salads, the Citrus Braised Beet & Pecan Salad and the Arugula & Spinach Caesar Salad, were amazing, number two... And our lunch, Spaghettini & Chianina Meatballs and Eggplant Parmesan, were amazing, number three. Awesome, right?? Here's the kicker.... My fiance wanted to take me either to Bien Shur or Level 5 for Valentine's Day. I'm a girl and he's trying to be very romantic, which I applaud!!! Those restaurants supposedly have the ambience of a romantic setting with views at sunset. So I poured over the menus and Google reviews from those two restaurants as well as other restaurants that friends have suggested and, after wanting the best quality food for a competitive price (even though price is of no object to him, but I AM an absolute food critic, especially coming from New York City and having eaten at different establishments across the country, so he left the final decision to me), I told him that we should go back to M'Tucci's Twenty-Five... I am Italian and he is Spanish, so I was hoping to introduce his tastebuds to the best Italian cuisine near to what I am accustomed to... So we went to M'Tucci's at 5pm on a Wednesday evening hoping to get the same service as last time... Nada, niente We sat down and I already had an idea of how I wanted the courses to go... but from beginning to end, a different waitress tried to rush us through the entire dinner EVERY STEP of the way as if we were a bother to her even though hardly any other customers were there... It was uncomfortable, so I skipped over the salads and went straight to the Applewood Smoked Portobella Risotto and the Pappardelle Porcini Pasta, figuring they would go greatly hand in hand... As we were waiting, I described to my fiance how Risotto is delicate, delicious, and hard to find on any menu because it cannot be under-cooked nor overcooked... it has to be "al dente," cooked but firm... fluffy and tasty with Porcini mushroom sauce, it will be amazing... Well the only thing firm and amazing about the Risotto at M'Tucci's were the few shavings of fresh mushrooms on top. The rest of the dish, ALL of the rice, was just MUSH!!! Which is NOT what's supposed to happen with any type of Risotto. A heartbreaking disappointment!!!... As for the Pappardelle Porcini Pasta, which was pasta in Porcini Cream Sauce with Pan Seared Chicken, the ONLY thing that was fresh were the cuts of chicken on top of the pasta... ALL of the pasta was just MUSH!!! So neither the rice nor the pasta were al dente. We couldn't finish neither dish. It was disappointing, embarrassing, and pretty much inedible. Next, our entrees were the Five Pork Bolognese and the "Cut of the Day, Hand Cut Steak, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Grilled Asparagus." He knows that I LOVE Filet Mignon and that that was exactly what I wanted for Valentine's Day, which was why he was trying to take me to Bien Shur. While we were at M'Tucci's, he joked that the Cut of the Day would be a T-Bone. I laughed and said it better not be. Sure enough, it was a huge T-Bone steak!! Thankfully his Five Pork Bolognese turned out well because I can forgo bad dishes, but the least I want is for him to have a bad dish!!! So my T-Bone was okay, not great by any means... definitely not the Valentine's Day dinner nor experience that I was expecting from a high-end restaurant. The wine wasn't even good. Only the Five Pork Bolognese dish was the redeeming factor that night. Needless to say, we haven't gone back there. Don't get your hopes up, especially for a romantic occasion.

After a 25 minute wait and reassurance that it was "almost done" multiple times, our food was finally brought out. I checked the bags before walking to my car, and good thing I did because two of the pans of food were missing. It wasn't until 5:25pm that they brought out the last two pans to complete our order. When we got home, there were many mistakes with the order. The sausages we ordered were not there, and we incorrectly received a bolognese pasta dish instead. The chicken scallopini was plain, and did not have the lemon caper butter sauce, feta, or tomatoes as said in the description. Each tray of chicken and steak was supposed to serve 10, but there was only enough meat for 8 people. As for the food itself: we enjoyed the bistecca Italiano, polenta, Caesar salad, and pork bolognese pasta (though it was given in error). The alfredo pasta had good flavor but could have used more sauce. The asparagus was ok, but not very flavorful and the ends were woody. As mentioned above, the chicken was bland and missing the sauce. All in all, this experience was far below the standards that I expected from M'tuccis. I would say that this was a misuse of my time and money

I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout-out. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions for drinks, appetizers and main dishes. He also, was friendly and funny, and took care of us without hovering but was somehow always there when we needed something. The food was excellent, with large portions, great flavors, clean ingredients and fresh new takes on a lot of dishes. I had the Sourdough Gnocchi with onions, brocolini, and added salmon. It was truly amazing! They had a blackberry shrub, which is non-alcoholic, that I was able to add alcohol to and it was delicious! We also had the calamari for an appetizer and it was beautifully done, perfectly cooked, with light breading, and excellent sauces to dip it in.

The little biscuits were good, even though one had an extra crispy hard bottom. The honey butter is amazing. They need to market that on its own. Entrees: The butter noodles weren't as buttery as expected, and spicier than preferred. Requested no capers, but there were still some in it. The Caesar salad with crispy chicken was delicious. Dessert: The berry cheesecake is remarkable! It tastes like CHEESEcake but not cheesy. I'm all about the texture of food, and this was creamy but I could feel the cheese. I don't know how else to describe it. Personally, I'd add a little chocolate also. Overall: Highly recommend this restaurant for casual dining, office lunch, or small friends reunion get together.
