We’re pretty excited to welcome you back to our patios and dining rooms, but we want you to know that our weekly M’tucci’s @ Home specials will continue, as will our regular menu kits.

This weekend, we’re featuring one of M’tucci’s classic menu items: Braised Italian Sausage (6) with Red Wine Roasted Marinara, Caramelized Onion, Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Creamy Polenta. Four Strawberry Shrub Cookies for dessert - all for only $38. Order online or by calling the location closest to you.

Corn, like tomatoes, came to Italy from America. Italians rarely eat fresh corn, preferring to dry it, then grind it into meal. Polenta is now popular throughout Italy, but is ubiquitous in the Northern regions that encompass the Veneto, Emilia Romagna and Friuli. Easier to process than wheat and cheaper than bread, it became a staple for the poor, eventually being favored by more affluent Italians. We love the simple preparation adding only cheese and butter. If you’re feeling adventurous, give it a New Mexico twist by adding a tablespoon or two of dried chile powder as you add the cheese and butter at the end.

GEAR UP TO OPEN UP - A DRIVE IN CONCERT

We are celebrating the opening of our patios and dining rooms with patio concerts tonight and Saturday night. Local singer/songwriter/guitarist Kirk Matthews will perform at M’tucci’s Italian Friday from 6:00 - 9:00 and Saturday 6:00 - 9:00 at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five. Order your takeout meal, arrive in the parking lot and we’ll bring your food to your car. Bring lawn chairs or dine in the back of your pickup. Physically, but not socially distant. See you there!
