"Though Mucci’s has entered the national conversation after its placement on the James Beard Awards long list for Outstanding Hospitality, Mac-Groveland locals have known about this Italian restaurant’s magic for years. On balmy summer evenings, its patio is always bustling with diners of all ages: first dates, multigenerational families, friends celebrating a new promotion, and neighbors stopping by for a square of tiramisu to-go. Make sure to order the lasagna, which always inspires a gasp of awe the first time it hits the table." - Julie Yu
"For a cozy night filled with pasta, wine, and tiramisu, there are few better spots that Mucci’s. Mucci’s feels like an old-school Italian spot without being all that old-school — it’s a reliable date night classic, with a tight menu of fresh pastas, salads, and pizzas and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It’s a small space, so it’s best to make a reservation." - Eater Staff
"Mucci’s is a youngster, compared to other restaurants on this map, but its menu of Italian comfort foods is cooked and served straight from the heart. Try the lasagna (or as it’s billed on the menu: layers of love) and keep an eye on Instagram for pasta specials." - Justine Jones
