New restaurant coming soon to Carmel City Center

Carmel City Center has announced that Tucci’s, a fine-dining restaurant featuring wine, steaks, pasta, fresh fish and artisan pizzas, is coming soon to Carmel City Center. Located at 710 S. Range Line Road, the restaurant will take over the former Langton’s Irish Pub space adjacent and connected to Matt the Miller’s Tavern. The Tucci’s Carmel restaurant will be the second location, with the original location operating in Dublin, Ohio, since 1998.

Tucci’s at Carmel City Center will feature an intimate dining space for 70 people along with private dining and event space on the handicap-accessible second floor for 70 to 75 people. An outdoor patio will also serve guests during the warmer months.

Menu items such as certified Angus beef steaks, a large variety of artisan pizzas, pasta and fresh fish make Tucci’s a fine-dining destination. Known for their robust wine menu, Tucci’s offers a variety of options for every wine lover. Senior servers and bartenders are all educated on the variety of wines with Tucci’s paying for the first level of sommelier training. A wine club locker program will be available to keep personal bottles at the restaurant. Tucci’s will also host quarterly wine tasting events featuring 40 to 60 varieties of wine.

Tucci’s owner Craig Barnum joined the Carmel City Center community with the opening of Matt the Miller’s Tavern in 2012. Barnum plans to employ 30 people with the opening of Tucci’s.

“We are very encouraged to be debuting Tucci’s in Carmel and feel confident that the community will love it just as much as Matt the Miller’s Tavern,” Barnum said. “The proximity to the new Hotel Carmichael and the Center for the Performing Arts along with the events that Carmel City Center hosts makes it the ideal location for Tucci’s.”

Guests can park or utilize the valet service and enter the main Matt the Miller’s Tavern entrance and experience two restaurant concepts. Tucci’s will be open from 3 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 3 to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

“We are excited to welcome Tucci’s to Carmel City Center’s award-winning dining options,” said Melissa Averitt, senior vice president at Pedcor Companies. “Tucci’s exceptional cuisine and their high level of service, make it a perfect fit at City Center.”

Carmel City Center is located at the southwest corner of City Center Drive and Range Line Road. Surface parking is available on plaza level (accessible from City Center Drive), in the underground garage (accessible from Range Line Road as well as City Center Drive) and in the Veterans Way garage.
