M'tucci's 2022, Pt. 1
/Holiday Hours
All locations are closed Sunday and Monday, January 1 & 2
This past year has seen several memorable events and lots of great food. Here are a few highlights:
April: Earlier in the year, Chef/Partner Shawn Cronin was named Company Chef, responsible for menu planning, kitchen coordination and with lending support to the Chefs and their teams. One of his first tasks was bringing back our Pairing Dinners. We started with local favorites, La Cumbre Brewing, Sheehan Winery and Hollow Spirits. Beer Pairing Dinners are held at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five, Wine Dinners are at M’tucci’s Italian and Cocktail Pairing Dinners are at M’tucci’s Moderno. The Five Course dinners are a great opportunity to enjoy beverages with dishes not normally on our menus and to listen to our experts describe the dish and the reason for pairing.
The first Pairing Dinner of 2023 will be held at M’tucci’s Bar Roma on January 12. Keep reading to see the menu.
May: M’tucci’s Bar Roma opened in the completely renovated historic building on Central Avenue in Nob Hill that was built in the 1930s and operated as Jones Motor Company. The interior design and the menu are intended to bring a little bit of Rome to Albuquerque. Mirrors and doorways resemble Roman arches and the menu has new and traditional dishes popular on the Roman table.
Planters, new lighting and umbrellas were added to the patio to make it one of the hot spots along historic Route 66.
The M’tucci’s development team, the architects and builders were recently honored with the NAIOP Award of Excellence for 2022’s Best New Mexico Hospitality project.
