    Bravo was very accommodating. We had reservations for 4 and were seated at a 4 top. One of the guests invited another guest. Bravo immediately reseated us at our request. All the food was delicious - appetizers, entrees and desserts. It was very quiet at the restaurant which made it so nice for my party to be able to visit without trying to be heard above the crowd noise. We were celebrating 3 birthdays which Bravo helped us celebrate with complimentary desserts. Overall a grand experience.

    Our first time here.We were told that this is an Albuquerque staple and now we see why. The food was excellent . Meatballs were great, bruschetta had a unique presentation , chicken piccata and pasta were really good. Our only issue was that nothing was served hot. All of was warm. It won't stop us from returning.

    This was an anniversary dinner and we enjoyed it very much. We love bringing our family to Mattucci’s. We’re now realizing that each one has its own feel its own vibe and this one is definitely a dress up. Nice vibe. Definitely will be coming back here.
