You’re not looking for just another restaurant reservation. You want your birthday celebration to feel special, not squeezed between other diners at a cramped table. When you choose Tartufo for your birthday party in Pepperell, MA, you’re getting a dedicated private dining space that can accommodate up to 45 guests for sit-down celebrations or 55 for cocktail-style gatherings.
Your group gets the attention you deserve. No rushing through courses because other tables are waiting. No worrying about noise levels or whether there’s enough space for everyone to actually enjoy themselves. Just you, your favorite people, and authentic Italian cuisine served in an elegant setting designed for celebrations.
The best part? You’ll walk away with those genuine moments that make birthdays worth celebrating – not just another dinner out that feels exactly like every other dinner out.
We’ve been Pepperell’s go-to destination for special occasions since 2004. What started as a vision to bring authentic Abruzzese cuisine to Massachusetts has become the area’s most trusted name for birthday celebrations and private events.
You won’t find the typical “birthday restaurant” experience here. Owner Anna Mountzuris built Tartufo around the idea that every celebration deserves genuine Italian hospitality – the kind where we remember to bring out a complimentary cake with candles without you having to ask, where the atmosphere feels warm rather than rushed, and where your birthday actually feels like the special day it should be.
Located conveniently in Pepperell, you get award-winning Italian cuisine without the drive to Boston’s North End. Your guests will appreciate the easy access, and you’ll appreciate having a restaurant that understands what makes birthday celebrations truly memorable.
Planning a birthday party at Tartufo starts with a conversation about what you actually want. Not what fits our standard package, but what makes your celebration perfect. You’ll work directly with our event coordination team to design the evening around your preferences – whether that’s a formal sit-down dinner, a casual cocktail gathering, or something in between.
We handle the details that matter. Menu selection gets tailored to your group’s tastes, from our signature dishes like Grilled Calamari and Veal Chop to accommodating dietary restrictions. The private dining room gets set up exactly how you envision it, with the right lighting and atmosphere for your celebration.
On the day of your party, you show up to everything ready. Your dedicated space, your customized menu, and staff who understand this is your special day. You focus on enjoying time with the people who matter most while we handle everything else. That’s how birthday celebrations should work – effortless for you, memorable for everyone.

Your birthday party at Tartufo includes everything you need for a genuine celebration. Our private second-floor dining room comes with its own full-service bar, so your group isn’t competing with other diners for attention. You get dedicated servers who understand we’re there for your party, not juggling multiple tables throughout the restaurant.
The menu flexibility matters more than you might realize. While many Pepperell restaurants lock you into preset party packages, we create custom menus based on what your group actually wants to eat. Whether that’s traditional Italian favorites, seafood specialties from the Abruzzo region, or accommodations for guests with dietary restrictions, our kitchen adapts to your celebration.
Pepperell residents particularly appreciate the convenience factor. Instead of coordinating transportation to Boston or Newton for quality Italian dining, you get award-winning cuisine right in your hometown. Your guests spend more time celebrating and less time traveling, which makes the entire experience more enjoyable for everyone involved. Plus, the local setting means familiar surroundings for a celebration that feels both special and comfortable.
Our private dining room can accommodate up to 45 guests for sit-down birthday dinners and up to 55 people for cocktail-style birthday celebrations. The second-floor private space includes its own full-service bar and dedicated staff, so your party gets the attention it deserves without competing with other restaurant guests.
For smaller birthday gatherings, our private room still works perfectly – you’re not paying for space you don’t need, but you get the privacy and personalized service that makes celebrations feel special. The flexible setup means whether you’re planning an intimate family birthday dinner or a larger milestone celebration, the space adapts to your specific needs rather than forcing your party into a one-size-fits-all format.
We bring twenty years of experience in creating memorable celebrations, combined with authentic Italian cuisine you won’t find elsewhere in Pepperell. While other local restaurants might offer basic party accommodations, we specialize in private events with dedicated space, customized menus, and the kind of personal touches that make birthdays actually feel special.
The difference shows in the details. You get complimentary birthday cake and candles without having to ask. Our staff understands we’re there for your celebration, not just taking another reservation. Our menu features signature dishes like our Grilled Calamari and Veal Chop, made with authentic Abruzzese techniques and ingredients you won’t find at typical chain restaurants.
Most importantly, you’re working with a locally-owned restaurant that has built its reputation on making celebrations memorable. Owner Anna Mountzuris designed Tartufo specifically for events like yours, which means everything from our private dining room layout to our service approach is built around creating genuine celebration experiences.
Absolutely. Our kitchen is experienced in accommodating various dietary restrictions and preferences for birthday celebrations. Whether you have guests who need gluten-free options, vegetarian dishes, or specific allergy accommodations, our menu can be customized to ensure everyone at your birthday party has delicious options.
The advantage of working with an authentic Italian kitchen is the flexibility in preparation methods and ingredients. Many traditional Italian dishes can be naturally adapted for different dietary needs without compromising flavor. During your party planning consultation, you’ll discuss any dietary requirements with our team so the menu gets designed with everyone’s needs in mind from the start.
This personalized approach means you don’t have to worry about whether certain guests will have suitable options, or deal with the awkwardness of some people having great meals while others settle for basic alternatives. Everyone gets to enjoy the celebration equally, which is exactly how birthday parties should work.
For the best selection of dates and times, book your birthday party at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend celebrations or during busy seasons. However, we understand that birthday plans don’t always follow perfect timelines, so we work with shorter notice when possible.
Our private dining room books up more quickly during peak celebration times – think spring graduation season, holiday periods, and summer months when everyone wants to celebrate. If you’re planning a milestone birthday or expecting a larger group, earlier booking gives you more flexibility in customizing menu options and room setup.
That said, don’t assume it’s too late if your birthday is coming up soon. Call us directly to check availability – sometimes there are last-minute openings, and our team is experienced in putting together memorable celebrations even with shorter planning windows. The key is being flexible with dates and times if you’re booking close to your desired celebration date.
Birthday party pricing at Tartufo depends on your specific needs – group size, menu selections, and service style. Our private dining room rental, dedicated staff service, and basic setup are typically included, with food and beverage costs based on your customized menu selections.
Unlike restaurants that lock you into expensive preset packages, we work with your budget to create the celebration you actually want. You’re not paying for services you don’t need or menu items your group won’t enjoy. Our pricing structure is transparent – you know exactly what you’re getting and why you’re paying for it.
The best approach is to call and discuss your specific birthday celebration vision. Our team can provide detailed pricing based on your group size, preferred menu style, and any special requests. This way you get accurate costs upfront rather than discovering hidden fees or mandatory add-ons after you’ve already committed to the celebration date.
We’re known for providing complimentary birthday cake and candles as part of our celebration service – it’s one of those thoughtful touches that sets us apart from typical restaurant experiences. Many guests are pleasantly surprised when the cake appears without them having to arrange it separately.
If you prefer to bring your own special birthday cake – maybe a family recipe or specific design – we accommodate that as well. We’ll handle the presentation and candle service, so you get the celebratory moment without worrying about the logistics. There’s no additional cake-cutting fee or awkward policies about outside desserts.
The key is mentioning your cake preference during the party planning process. Whether you want our complimentary cake, plan to bring your own, or want to order something specific through our kitchen, our team makes sure the birthday dessert moment happens exactly how you envision it. After all, the cake presentation is often the highlight of the celebration, so it should be perfect.
