Jenae C.

Mucci's was a fantastic romantic dinner spot. The appetizer meatballs had a unique texture that I preferred over other meatballs. The fall pasta special was incredible and paired perfectly with the tagliatelle that was the perfect blend of lemon and cream. The pasta noodles tasted homemade and were so good. The patio was pretty and was packed by 7pm. We got a reservation for a Tuesday night and would recommend making one.

Caesar salad
James L.

A must stop for caesar salad lovers! The salad is HUGE and served with a mound of parm on top. Pasta entrees are great too and you get a generous portion enough to split between two. One critique I do have is the waiter didn't let me know an extra side of parm to additionally top on my pasta was not free, so that was a disappointment to see when the check came. Really a surprise considering I've never been charged for a side of parm at any other Italian place.

Calamari
Lecia C.

Came here on the recommendation of our kids who have been here a handful of times. Sat at the bar and had absolutely perfect service from our server, Molly. We started with the calamari appetizer, which was a very generous portion with a delightful aïoli. The old-fashioned and whiskey cocktails were very good. Hubby ordered the Tagliatelle Diablo with crab and I had the Bucatini (recommended). The bucatini was excellent! Hubby's dish was good (with maybe a few too many spicy fresnos even for a man who loves spicy). But to be fair... We were warned. Service and drinks 10/10.

I've been to Mucci's twice and sat at the bar both times. The food is amazing. I had the lasagna and it was a giant block of soft flavorful delicious. The Caesar salad was super fresh and tasty. My only disappointment was the focaccia which is shaped like a giant bun and was served without the benefit of olive oil. Service was attentive and cheerful. Dining room is fun and buzzing, but I'm coming back for the patio - which looked so very pleasant. The prices here are more than the neighborhood or the setting merits. This place is fun - not fine dining- but the prices are high - $150 for 2 is a bit pricey.

Tiramisu
Morgan S.

Amazing food, we got the Nicki pizza and the tiramisu. Both really good! The patio area outside was really nice too, perfect for date night.

Focaccia with Burrata, the Focaccia is smaller than your fist
Kathleen K.

Excellent Italian with excellent service. The Agnolotti and Lasagna were both excellent. Flavorful and filling. The only disappointment was the Focaccia with Burrata. They were both good but the Focaccia was very small and the Burrata was a $15 add on. Not enough bread for the Burrata. Try the Tiramisu for dessert - it was great. FYI - enter through the wood gate on the side. It is a little confusing.

We were in town for a friend's wedding and on our first night in town we all met up here, at Mucci's. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was how adorable this part of town is. I love that this restaurant is nestled into a neighborhood that has some charm to it. You can tell that Mucci's is truly a neighborhood spot, and even though it's upscale Italian fare, the ambiance is really relaxed and fits into its surroundings. Now let's get into the food. Literally everything we sampled was great, but it should come as no surprise that the pizza with the fried chicken on it was the big winner. It's as impressive as it looks in all the photos and while it might look like a gimmick, it really has great flavor and goes above and beyond expectation. I tried a few bites of some different pasta dishes as well, all were top notch. Our cocktails were delightful, our server gracious, all in all if we lived here I'd certainly be back, and I see why my friends love this place so much.

Focaccia and burrata- fantastic
Claire L.

Amazing dining experience with amazing food! Fast service and a very quiet room packed with people. The ambiance was perfect for talking. The bread was out of this world and their pasta is fun, imaginative, and tasty.

Menu

First time at Muccis! Everything was homemade including the noodles and pizza dough, which was fantastic! Service was great. The dining room was packed when we first arrived. Therefore, we were sitting really close to another couple and it felt kind of like an invasion of their space. But it was a cute place. Prices seemed comparable to other local places. Parking was free street parking. I didn't have any issue finding parking. We will be back!

Angel Hair Pasta
Sam B.

My husband and I heard great things about Mucci's Italian so wanted to give it a try for date night. It's a small, quaint restaurant so definitely recommend getting a reservation. The vibe was perfect for date night and parking was easy (street). We sat at the bar by the kitchen, ordered and bottle of red wine (delicious) and watched all the food coming out -- so fun! We ordered the caesar salad, angel hair pasta and camilla pizza. The caesar and camilla pizza was AMAZING! The caesar salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. Gem lettuce with freshly grated parmesan mixed with the perfect amount of dressing, what's not to love?! However, the angel hair pasta was very fishy, which is unfortunately why I can't give it 5-stars. We're big seafood fans but the sauce on this pasta was incredibly fishy and I wouldn't it order again. Overall, the service was great, pizza and salad were great. Looking forward to our next visit to try other menu items.

Burrata special
Heather S.

You guys! I have no idea how long this place has been in my neighborhood, and I took it for granted all this time. Service was excellent. For having black walls, it's very cheery inside. We tried three apps and the charred salad. The ca,I'll is one of the most unique and tasty pizzas I've ever had. Extremely high quality. I had Chinese food notes and it worked! I'm craving the flavor! Burratta was exceptional, beautiful, with an amazing sauce, some kind of pesto. The tempura asparagus was crisp and tasty, with a green goddess aioli I could drink For dinner, we tried half the menu, and I can't wait to try the rest. I personally had the chicken piccata which was very delicious. My friends and family who were there tried lasagna and the Bucatini and loved them. I seriously cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! Shout out to the tiramisu, which sometimes can be bitter. This was really nice, not too sweet, and very creamy. I'll most likely be back this week. Love you guys!

The pros: portion sizes are huge, chicken tasted good The cons: waiter did not stop by the table once, my water was empty within the first 10 min of sitting there and i had to take my cup physically up to the counter to get water from them because i was so thirsty. I didnt see him once after that, he just stood up at the counter talking to the other server. The pasta was oily, they put so much cheese on everything that the oils from the cheese come out and my pasta literally had a layer of oil all around the plate. The mozzerella garlic bread barely had any garlic bread taste, tasted mostly like mozzerella. The mozzerella was also so oily that the garlic bread was just soggy 5 min after the waiter put the plate down. The price is steep, by myself i got an app and an entree only and it came out to 48$ before tip. Overall, for a spot with the reviews it has it completely let me down along with the locals who recommended it to me.

It should be noted that I've never actually set foot inside Bella Ciao Pasta Bar and Ristorante. I…read moreonly experienced it today through the lens of a takeout container. For lunch, I ordered the Chicken Marsala. You get to choose a side; options ranging from Alfredo Fettuccine to Green Beans to Mashed Potatoes to Spaghetti Marinara. I went for the Spaghetti. The meal also came with two breadsticks. Overall, the dish was decent but not remarkable. The highlight was the mushrooms in the Marsala wine sauce. They were flavorful and well prepared. The chicken itself was just okay. Without the sauce, it lacked seasoning, and the texture varied throughout the breast, with some parts tender and others noticeably tough or chewy. The spaghetti was good, though comparable to standard spaghetti you might find anywhere. The breadsticks, however, were disappointing; they were extremely hard and not enjoyable to eat. I also wish the Chicken Marsala and the spaghetti were packaged separately. Because of the amount of sauce, everything blended together in the container. I don't mind my food touching, but separating the items would make for a better presentation and texture. I do think other menu items may have more to offer. One mediocre experience isn't enough for me to write off the restaurant entirely, so I would consider trying something else in the future. However, I wouldn't recommend this particular dish based on today's order. Overall rating: 3/5.

We made reservations and were seated right away, which was a great start. The host was friendly, and our server was attentive without being overbearing--checking in regularly on drinks and making sure everything tasted right. We kicked things off with the buffalo wings. They had great flavor without too much heat, which I personally enjoyed. For the main course, I went with the burger, and my wife ordered the rigatoni alla vodka. My burger was filling, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. The bun was just a touch on the firm side (I'll admit, I'm a bit of a burger snob), but overall it was very good. The fries, though, were excellent--definitely a highlight. My wife really enjoyed her dish as well--the sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy. She mentioned it could've used a little fresh Parmesan and a bit more heat, since she likes some spice, but overall she was happy with it. Since it was her birthday they gave us a free desert and the server mentions the bread pudding which was very tasty. Overall, a great experience with good food, solid service, and a nice atmosphere. We'd definitely come back.

It is in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood so there is ample street parking nearby if you turn on any of the side streets. The restaurant does get busy at dinner, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They have many unique options for cocktails and mocktails. I opted for the Slaychel which is a non-alcoholic beverage that I think of as an elevated mimosa. It is fruity, slightly tart, and delicious! The service was great! Our water was frequently refilled and never got empty, and our server asked about any allergies and dietary restrictions before we ordered. They were able to modify menu items to fit the different dietary restrictions! Two people in our party (including myself) are vegetarians and one member is gluten-free and also doesn't consume much dairy or eggs. They were able to serve the patatas bravas with the egg on the side and the grilled asparagus with the egg and cheese on the side so we were able to all share the starters. The patatas bravas were wonderful! The potatoes are perfectly crispy but still fluffy. The tomato sauce was slightly smokey and had a very slight kick (think Minnesota spice) and it balanced out well with the creamy tomato. If you're only going to try one appetizer, this is the one to try! The asparagus was also nice. The salsa verde had a slight kick (a bit more than the tomato sauce from the patatas bravas, but not super spicy. Still Minnesota level of spice). The shallots also added a nice crispy texture to the dish! The egg really stood out in this dish, with its runny yolk and batter coating. There were a lot of nice elements and textures. As for pastas, I split the Spaghetti and Radiatore with a friend. The Radiatore was nutty and tangy, and the serving size was generous. I enjoyed it, but I would order the Spaghetti over it any day! I don't even know how to describe the Spaghetti and do it justice. It was creamy, cheesy, delicious. Our server said it was a staff favorite, and I understand why. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, go with this one!! Even if you aren't a vegetarian, give it a try. It's so classic, and it's done so well. For dessert: they give free churros when you're dining in! They are served warm with a chocolate drizzle. We also ordered the Honey Cake which we enjoyed a lot! The cake itself was light, like a mousse. There was some crunch from the hazelnut praline and honeycomb toffee pieces. It was nutty and sweet but not overly sweet. It was a perfect way to finish off the meal! Estelle was delicious and the service was great! I can't wait to come back!
