M'tucci's Small Plates
/In Italy, small plates are called Cicchetti, and are a tradition in Venice. Essentially, they are Italy’s version of Spain’s tapas. The tradition of walking the historic streets of Venice or Barcelona are the same, stop in a small place for a small glass of wine, for a few small plates, then move on to the next spot. In Albuquerque you can come to any M’tucci’s location and enjoy a large selection of Cicchetti to go with your afternoon beverage.
M’tucci’s on Monday is a new segment on KRQE’s NM Living and will air every other Monday between 9:00 & 10:00am. You can watch the first segment, shown below, where Howie Kaibel, M’tucci’s Minister of Culture talks about Ciccheti.
You can watch Howie by Clicking on this Link. Tune in on August 30th to watch Chef/Partner Cory Gray do a cooking demonstration of Pasta dalla Forma. If you miss it, we’ll provide the link in this space on the following Friday.
