ShawnShawn: The real star of Mucci's is the small plate. Calamari, Brussel sprouts, and a wonderful asparagus with whipped pecorino are def worth your time. The specially crafted for Mucci's pilsner is too good.

Karen P.Karen Peters: The mushroom agnolotti is an explosion of flavors in your mouth. The sunchokes are a delightful change from a side of potatoes. And prosecco by the carafe - need I say more?
