Yes, complimentary birthday cake service is included with your celebration. We provide a beautiful cake with candles, presented tableside as a special surprise for the birthday celebrant. This thoughtful touch has become one of the most beloved aspects of celebrating at Tartufo.

For private dining room reservations, booking 2-3 weeks in advance is recommended, especially for weekend celebrations or during busy seasons. This timeline allows adequate time for menu planning, coordination of special requests, and ensuring your preferred date and time are available.
However, we often accommodate last-minute celebrations when possible. If you’re planning a birthday party on shorter notice, it’s worth calling to discuss availability and options.
Early booking also provides more flexibility in customizing your menu and discussing any special arrangements. Our planning process is designed to be collaborative, and having adequate time ensures every detail can be perfected for your celebration.
