What is a Shrub?

Shrubs are a sharp, tangy mixture of fresh fruit, vinegar and sugar. They can be traced back to American colonial days, though regions across the globe, from the Middle East to Asia, have offered their own unique interpretations. The American version of the Shrub dates back to 17th Century England where vinegar was used as an alternative to citrus juices to preserve berries and other fruits.

M’tucci’s revived this lost method and built a beverage program around it. Since 2014, we have experiemented with many different combinations of fresh fruit, local herbs and various vinegars.

Below is a video where Partner Austin Leard gives you tips about making a Shrub at home.

M’tucci’s Restaurants Are Meal Raising In Honor of National Nurses Week

M’tucci’s Restaurants’ three locations are fundraising through May 10, 2020 to provide free meals for Albuquerque and Rio Rancho nurses in honor of National Nurses Week. There is a button on the mtuccis.com website (at the online ordering menu at each location) where people can donate. M’tucci’s will match dollar for dollar all contributions, and 100% of all the money raised will go to the nurses’ meals. People can contribute without buying anything, or they can add it to a to-go order.

“My wife is a nurse, so this is personal to me,” explained Chris O’Sickey, one of the partners at M’tucci’s Restaurants. “There has been a lot of attention on nurses working in the emergency room, but people don’t realize that COVID-19 is impacting nurses in every department of the hospital. They give selflessly every day, so this is the least we can do to say thank you.”

Soul of a Chef Lunch Series

We continue to offer specials that are inspired by our Chefs travels, their childhood favorites or simply their favorite comfort foods. These specials are only available at M’tucci’s Italian and M’tucci’s Moderno, every day 11:00 - 4:00.
