Tucci's

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Dublin's Italian Steakhouse with a Serious Wine Pedigree

Tucci's sits on North High Street in the heart of Historic Dublin, Ohio, where it has built a reputation as the area's premier Italian steakhouse. The dining room is intimate yet friendly, the kind of place that feels welcoming without being casual about the details. Executive Chef Eric Grieszmer leads the kitchen, while General Manager Steve Paul oversees a front-of-house experience anchored by genuine hospitality and an exceptionally deep wine program.

The Food

The menu is chef-driven and grounded in the finest and freshest local ingredients, spanning the range you'd expect from a serious Italian steakhouse — premium cuts, authentic Japanese Wagyu, and a culturally diverse selection that extends across lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Saturday and Sunday brunch runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and weekday happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. brings bar bites into the picture for a more relaxed visit.

A Wine Program Worth the Recognition

The wine list is what truly sets Tucci's apart. Wine Spectator has recognized the restaurant with its Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction Tucci's has held for ten consecutive years — a remarkable streak that reflects genuine commitment rather than a one-time achievement.

The numbers behind the program are equally impressive: over 470 meticulously chosen labels for bottle service, 43 wines available by the glass, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar holding more than 2,500 bottles. State-of-the-art Enoline machines keep by-the-glass pours fresh, making estate-bottled selections available in a format rarely offered elsewhere. The retail wine shop means guests can take a favorite bottle home, and curated wine events — from intimate tastings to exclusive pairing dinners — run throughout the year.

Private Dining and Everyday Occasions

Tucci's offers private rooms suited to everything from a power lunch or board meeting to milestone celebrations. Curated menus and valet parking (available Wednesday through Saturday on Darby Street) make the logistics as smooth as the experience itself.
