Disgusting and Spoiled Food. The Ahi Tuna was literally ROTTEN. The smell of the tuna was so bad that it made us both gag. The exterior of the tuna was seared (as it should be), but the interior was brown and far from a fresh looking appearance. Had the Tuna been left out at room temperature for several days and then seared? It had the smell, appearance, and taste (regretfully !!!) of food that was left at room temperature for several days. The veggies in the same dish also had a funk about them. The Pollo Olio I ordered was barely palatable. This dish is supposed to be angel hair pasta, but it was so overcooked the pasta was as swollen as regular spaghetti (and slimy as well). To top things off, the hostess and waitress were rude. It is obvious to me why a seemingly nice restaurant actually has very few people dining there during peak hours. I will never return. I would suggest to stay clear from this place unless you welcome food poisoning.…
Real Italian. All eight in our group had something different and everyone enjoyed their food. We went on a quiet week night and enjoyed everything -- service, food, atmosphere. I would ignore some of the ancient reviews.…
New Owners and Management. I noticed that most of the these reviews, bad and good were quite a long time ago and before it was sold to the current owners. Tucci's was purchase by three former employees/managers. They are the heart of this lovely place and always make you feel like you are in their home. The food, which I always thought was good, is now great. They have very interesting daily specials as well as their standard menu. My kids never like marinara on their pasta, always on the side, and when we go to Tucci's they don't even ask for it that way. They love it ! I love the variety of hearty salads they have as well as soups. There really is something for everyone and service is always with a smile. If you have never been, or haven't been in awhile I recommend you go. Parking maybe a little bit of a hassle but it is free and offers covered parking :)…

Best Unpretentious, Authentic Italian Food in Utah! Hands down.. I come to Salt Lake from Los Angeles about twice a year to visit family. I eat out all the time both in L.A. and in S.L.C. and Tucci?s is by far the ?Best Italian Restaurant? that I have been to. Sure you can go to the ?Valentino? in Santa Monica, or ?Il Cielo? in Beverly Hills, or to ?Cucina Toscana? in Salt Lake and in all of those places you will get a great meal but you will also pay a lot more. The service and customers are all a little too pretentious for my taste. I want a great authentic Italian meal with personable and attentive service. That is why Tucci?s Cucina Italiana is the best Italian restaurant I know of. If you go out once a year and you want to dine like V.P. Cheney and his Haliburton buddies than I do suggest going to those other restaurants. Throw on your best duds, grab your best girl, and stop at the ATM before you arrive. But if you want a great Italian restaurant that you can afford go to once a week and try real authentic Italian food with a nice glass of wine than go to Tucci?s.…
