Patio Dining and M'tucci's @ Home

M’tucci’s @ Home Prep Kitchen kits have returned, so let’s talk about this weekend’s great meal put together for you by Chef Cory. Each kit comes with all the ingredients and a recipe card (with a QR code to the online video with cooking instructions). This week has already been a popular one:

Five Pork Bolognese/Ricotta-filled Ravioli (all House Made) with a Wild Mushroom Red Bell Pepper Ragu, House Garlic Bread, House Salad and four Chocolate Crackle Cookies. This is designed to feed four people for $45. Order from any M’tucci’s location for pick up or delivery. You can order now for pickup today, tomorrow or Sunday. Be specific about your pick up time, because the House Salads are made to order just before you pick up the kit. We have a limited number, so order soon.

Just wanted to tell you that this dinner kit was amazing!!!!! I know how to make bread, but now I want to learn how to make fresh pasta!!!”: from Lyla, a regular M’tucci’s guest.

You can watch a video of Chef Cory taking you through the steps of preparing the meal. This video and many more are on the M’tucci’s YouTube Channel.


All M’tucci’s Patios are open from 11:00am - 10:00pm Monday - Saturday and 11:00am-9:00pm Sunday with full lunch, dinner and drink menus.

Patio Hour(s) is 3:00-6:00, Monday - Friday

Each location is offering a slightly different Special Patio menu for Patio Hour, so you’ll have to try all three!

We were ready for the health orders from the state and local governments that went into effect last Monday. Our patios had been expanded, we added cooling misters, umbrellas and comfortable seating and will continue to work towards creating a safe and comfortable dining experience. The health of you and our staff is our highest priority. We will follow all CDC and state health guidelines, which means our servers and kitchen staff wear masks and gloves at all times, tables are sanitized between seatings and you, as our guest, are required to wear a mask when you enter/exit and whenever you are not at your table. It’s simple, it’s easy. Let’s get through this together.

For all of you who are in search of something different, the First Annual (or last) M’tucci’s Hot Dog Eating Contest begins today at 3:00 on the patio. Come watch Trey, Earnest and James try to win, or to at least make you laugh. There are no prizes for stuffing the most tube steaks down the hatch - nor should there be.

Veggie Recipes

Chef Cory and I created a video for gardeners and fans of Farmer’s Markets. Did you plant too many Zucchini or Yellow Squash or maybe you have an abundance of fresh greens such as Kale or Swiss Chard? In a 10-minute video, Chef Cory shows you five different ways to prepare Squash Blossoms, Greens, Shishito Peppers and how to do a hot or cold pickle marinade for fresh garden veggies. Watch it below or on the M’tucci’s YouTube Channel.

Thanks for reading. See you on the patio!! Ciao!
