Letter to our Friends

Amici di M’tucci’s,

We are writing to tell you what we are doing during the pandemic shutdown, and how it relates to you as our guests at M’tucci’s Italian, M’tucci’s Moderno, M’tucci’s Twenty Five, and M’tucci’s Provisions (formerly M’tucci’s Market).

First, we furloughed 200 of our M’tuccimates and we are operating our 3 restaurants with partners, managers and chefs. We have every expectation that our furloughed teammates will be with us when we return to some normalcy, and we’re working hard to assure that.

While M’tucci’s restaurants, like everyone else’s, have been closed since March 17, we are still providing takeout and delivery. All funds we receive from gratuities related to these sales go to our furloughed teammates. Because of these current sales, and with assistance from Shamrock, our prime vendor, we are able to provide food for all furloughed team members during the week.

In addition, we have increased our bread production and you can buy M’tucci’s breads in our restaurants. It’s also available in all 4 westside Albertsons.  Our reheatable  dinners are now also in all 13 local Albertsons. Please look for them.  Last week, we introduced M’tucci’s Prep Kitchen Meal Kits, all the ingredients and video to follow to cook M’tucci’s Chef planned dishes at home.  Each week, there will be a new offering.

Finally, this is our plea to you to incorporate us into your current Corona Virus Pandemic eating plans, to buy and to order our food wherever and whenever it’s convenient for you. We will never stop with our usual effort to make it delicious. This will definitely help to sustain us during the corona virus pandemic. We’ll be here when the passing of the threat allows us to open again.

The Partners of M’tucci’s Restaurants: Jeff Spiegel and Katie Gardner, John Haas, Sherri Rivenburgh, Austin Leard, Chris O’Sickey, Cory Gray and Shawn Cronin With our General Managers Amanda Romero and Ernest Nuñez.
