You know the feeling when catered food shows up and everyone politely picks at bland, mass-produced dishes. That won’t happen here. Your guests get authentic Italian cuisine prepared by chefs who learned their craft in Italy’s Abruzzo region, using the same fresh, organic ingredients we’ve served in our award-winning Newton restaurant for over 20 years.
No more crossing your fingers and hoping the food actually arrives on time and tastes good. You get professional coordination from the first consultation through final cleanup, handled by a team that’s managed thousands of successful events. Your only job is enjoying the compliments from guests who can’t believe catered food can taste this authentic.
Whether it’s a corporate lunch that needs to impress demanding clients or a family celebration that deserves something special, your event gets the kind of food catering services that make people ask for your caterer’s contact information.
Tartufo isn’t another catering company trying to do Italian food. We’re an award-winning Italian restaurant that happens to cater, and that difference shows up on every plate. Since 2004, we’ve specialized in authentic Abruzzese cuisine – the coastal Italian region known for fresh seafood and rare truffle dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
Our chefs aren’t just trained in Italian cooking; we hire them directly from the Abruzzo region and they bring techniques that have been passed down for generations. While we’re based in Newton, we understand that Everett businesses and families shouldn’t have to drive to Boston’s North End just to get authentic Italian food for their events.
From intimate dinner parties to corporate events serving 55+ people, every catering order gets the same attention to detail that’s earned us consistent 4.5-star reviews and a loyal following throughout the greater Boston area.
Your catering starts with a real conversation about your event, not a generic sales pitch. We’ll discuss your guest count, dietary needs, budget, and what kind of impression you want to make. Then we design a menu that actually fits your situation, whether that’s impressive corporate catering or a family celebration that needs authentic Italian flavors.
Everything gets prepared fresh the day of your event using the same organic ingredients and traditional methods that make our restaurant food special. We’re not reheating mass-produced dishes – your guests get food that’s actually cooked for them. Our team handles every detail from setup to cleanup, so you never have to worry about logistics.
On event day, we arrive early to make sure everything’s perfect before your first guest shows up. You get to be the host instead of the caterer, while we manage the food service from the first appetizer through final cleanup. That’s how catering should work.

Your catering package includes authentic Italian cuisine prepared by Italy-trained chefs, professional event coordination, and complete setup and cleanup service. Every menu features fresh, organic ingredients prepared the day of your event, with accommodations for gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary needs that don’t compromise on flavor.
Everett’s corporate clients especially appreciate our business lunch packages that impress without the premium Boston pricing.

You get the kind of best catering services that make clients remember your company for the right reasons.
For larger celebrations, you have access to our full-service bar capabilities, professional waitstaff, and our private dining room that seats up to 55 guests. Every service maintains the same quality standards that have kept our Newton restaurant award-winning for over two decades, now available for your Everett events.
Most caterers offer generic “Italian” food that tastes like it came from a factory. We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine – a unique coastal Italian style focused on fresh seafood and truffle-based dishes that requires actual skill to prepare correctly. Our chefs learned their techniques in Italy’s Abruzzo region, not from a corporate training manual.
You’re getting the same award-winning cuisine we serve in our Newton restaurant, prepared with organic ingredients and traditional methods that take time to do right. While other caterers reheat pre-made dishes, we cook your food fresh the day of your event using techniques that have earned us 4.5-star reviews for over 20 years.
The difference is obvious from the first bite. Your guests taste authentic Italian flavors, not mass-produced approximations. That’s why people ask for our contact information instead of just politely eating whatever showed up.
For most events, we recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead to guarantee your preferred date and menu options. This gives us time to source the freshest ingredients and handle any special dietary accommodations properly. We’re not pulling pre-made dishes from a freezer, so quality preparation takes planning.
Corporate lunches and smaller business events can often be arranged within a week, depending on size and complexity. But larger celebrations, weddings, or events requiring our full dining room service need at least a month’s notice to ensure everything’s perfect.
During busy seasons like holidays or graduation time, earlier booking means better availability and more menu customization options. We’ll work with shorter timelines when possible, but more notice always means better results for your event.
Absolutely. Our chefs regularly accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and various allergy requirements while maintaining the authentic Italian flavors that make our catering special. We’re not just removing ingredients – we’re creating dishes that work within dietary restrictions and still taste authentically Italian.
During your consultation, we discuss any dietary needs in detail and design menu options that ensure every guest enjoys the meal safely. Our kitchen maintains strict protocols to prevent cross-contamination, and we provide detailed ingredient information for guests with severe allergies.
Many traditional Mediterranean dishes naturally accommodate different dietary preferences, featuring fresh vegetables, quality olive oils, and lean proteins. Your guests with restrictions get food that’s actually good, not just “safe to eat.” That’s the difference between real Italian cooking and generic catering.
Everything from consultation through cleanup. We design your menu, prepare fresh food using authentic Italian techniques, handle professional setup at your venue, provide experienced waitstaff for service, and complete all cleanup afterward. You don’t manage any logistics – we handle everything so you can actually enjoy your own event.
For larger events, this includes linens, serving equipment, and coordination with your venue’s specific requirements. Our team arrives early for proper setup and stays through service to ensure everything runs smoothly, then leaves your venue exactly as clean as we found it.
We also offer full-service bar capabilities for events wanting wine pairings or cocktail service, using our knowledge of Italian wines and premium spirits to complement your menu. Every detail gets covered with the same attention we’ve brought to successful events for over two decades.
Our pricing starts around $25-30 per person for lunch packages and $35-50 per person for dinner service, depending on your menu selections. This includes authentic Italian cuisine, professional service, and standard setup. Premium options like our signature truffle dishes or full bar service cost more, but we work within your budget to maximize value.
Many Everett clients find our pricing competitive with generic caterers, but with significantly higher food quality and service that actually impresses guests. We provide transparent, detailed pricing during consultation – no hidden fees or surprise charges that show up later.
The real value is in what you get: restaurant-quality food prepared fresh by Italy-trained chefs, professional coordination that prevents problems, and service that makes your event memorable for the right reasons. That’s worth more than saving a few dollars on mediocre catering that disappoints your guests.
Yes, we handle everything from corporate lunches and business meetings to weddings, anniversary parties, and family celebrations. Our experience with both professional and personal events means we know how to adjust our service style and presentation to match each occasion perfectly.
Corporate clients appreciate our reliable timing, professional presentation, and menu options that impress clients without being too casual or too fancy.
