Best Lunch Restaurants in Academy West

Busy time of the year but the staff handled it well. Food is always good and consistent. Definitely get a reservation so you don't have to wait too long. Our server was very nice and positive considering how busy it was, very professional.

My husband and I love Trombino’s and we stop here every time we are in Albuquerque. We had reservations so we did not have to wait long, we got a nice table and the ambience was great as usual. The food and drinks were amazing, especially the chicken marsala. One of our favorites.

The atmosphere and service made this place amazing! Having full ability to cook the food how you like and the variety of choices is great, Our server Miranda was super nice and helpful, will be back for sure

We had eaten at 2 other M'Tucci restaurants and this was our first time at the one closest to us (Coors and Montano, NW). We decided to try their Wed. night special at the bargain price of $30/person. We made a reservation about an hour ahead and were glad that we had. The restaurant was quite full. There were no choices on the special and no substitutions. I probably would not have ordered any of the dishes on the special but we were pleasantly surprised and pleased. The appetizer was a bruschetta topped with mussels. My husband adored this. I thought it was very good. It came with a small glass of a pleasant chardonnay. The main course was hangar steak with roast potatoes. I asked for mine to be cooked medium rare, I was told, you couldn't specify how you wanted it cooked, on the special. Our steaks came out medium rare and were exceptionally tender and flavorful. This was served with a small glass of Cabernet. Dessert was a pumpkin swirl cheesecake. This was the weakest of the courses but we still ate every bite. It was served with a moscato dessert wine. All the portions were small but we didn't leave hungry. Service was excellent in spite of how busy it was. We definitely will return for the Wed. special and will try other things as well. This may become our go to local restaurant.

We had our office dinner last night at Ruth's Chris. Absolutely fantastic evening! Great food and ambiance, awesome service as well! Thank you!
