Our mission is to open a few restaurants that take care of our guests in every way-treating them like guests in our home, making sure that they feel embraced by the joy with which we extend our hospitality, and making sure that they become entranced by our restaurant. We understand the value of 'regulars' returning weekly and in many cases more frequently. We hope that all of our guests will feel that they belong to a private club, to which we welcome them again and again. M'tucci's Moderno located in Rio Rancho is a sister of our first restaurant, M'tucci's Italian, which is located at Coors and Montano on Albuquerque's West Side. At Moderno, we continue to offer a moderately priced, Italian menu built on a foundation of both traditional and contemporary recipes. The menu, together with the bar (full liquor license) menu, is offered in a contemporary building with black steel elements, high ceilings, and a big garage door that opens to the Sandia Mountains. Inside the steel, we have inserted a more traditional looking wood clad restaurant featuring traditional lighting and Edison bulbs, as well as other playful elements. Our congenial bar and mezzanine offer alternative spaces within which to enjoy M'tucci's food and beverage. Moderno's bar program features our unique shrubs as well as a new collection of original cocktails to complement our food and wine. Our mezzanine can also be reserved for private groups. M'tucci's Moderno is located just west of Presbyterian's Rust Medical Center. At the end of 2016, Jeff Spiegel, Katie Gardner, and John Haas, founders of M'tucci's Restaurants, welcomed five new partners to their ownership team: Austin Leard, Sherri Rivenburgh, Cory Gray, Shawn Cronin and Chris O'Sickey. This ensures that M'tucci's Restaurants are here for the long haul.

    We went on a Thursday night as a couple for a celebratory dinner. It was fun being greeted by Eddie the Gangster and hearing his story. The place was crowded but they got us a table close to the time of our reservation. You wait in the car until they text you that the table is ready. There was live, gentle guitar music being played and we enjoyed it all through dinner. We shared the crab cakes, a bottle of red wine, the filet mignon with baked potato and green beans, and a cinnamon roll cake for dessert. The server was attentive and pleasant. Very nice evening out. We'll be back!

    I don't mind giving the same update each time we dine at Seasons 52 because one of the most important things it does is illustrate how consistent the service, fresh food and price is at the restaurant. Every trip we make from Santa Fe to Albuquerque includes lunch at Seasons 52 . This time it was the shrimp&crab stuffed mushrooms to start, one of us had the soup and flatbread lunch and the other entre was the mahi mahi tacos. Excellent service, pleasant surroundings and fresh ingredients are what keeps us coming back and telling others.

    Once again, an almost perfect evening. Service was good. Bordeaux was excellent. Steaks were grilled to perfection and the flavor was to die for. Spinach, sweet potatoes and mushrooms complimented the meats. Desserts delicious. Will come again.

    I had the gnocchi and added chicken for protein. The dish came mixed with green beans and asparagus but was only supposed to have green beans. The chicken was tender but lacked flavor and was on the edge of being dry. There was minimal sauce and had too many vegetables to protein/gnocchi ratio. My boyfriend had the hangar steak and he said it was great. The noise level in the restaurant was very loud to the point we couldn’t speak to each other during the meal. Out of all the M’tucci’s this was my least favorite. I will give them another chance because I understand they were busy.
