M'tucci's Twenty-Five: Week One
/We did it! Remodeled and opened. We love hearing your comments about the renovation, but more importantly hearing about the menu put together by Executive Chef/Founder John Haas, Executive Chef Shawn Cronin, Executive Sous Chef Damian Lucero and Chef de Cuisine Omar Rosas (lest you think those are just fancy titles, take a look through the big dining room/kitchen windows and you’ll see all four of these guys working).
After reading this, please take a look at Twenty-Five’s web page. Here you can click buttons to see the menus and wine list or make a reservation. One entire page of Appetizers, Charcuterie and small plates. Come with a group, because you are going to want to sample everything. I’ve only had one of the Secondi, because I can’t quit ordering the pasta.
As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are 25,000 words from the first week of M’tucci’s Twenty-Five, from the Celebratory Cocktail evening, to a few nights of practice dinners, to our first few opening days.
