Since 2004, Tartufo has been Sherborn’s premier destination for birthday celebrations that matter. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we bring authentic Abruzzese cuisine to your special occasions with the same passion and attention to detail that has earned our award-winning reputation.
You won’t find this level of Italian authenticity just anywhere in Sherborn. We often bring in chefs directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy, ensuring every dish captures the true essence of Mediterranean tradition. From homemade pasta to fresh seafood, every ingredient is carefully selected to create an experience that transports you and your guests to the Italian coast.
Located conveniently in the heart of Sherborn, you get all the sophistication of Boston’s North End without the drive. Your celebration stays local while feeling authentically Italian, complete with live saxophone jazz on select evenings and the kind of warm hospitality that makes birthdays truly special.
Planning your birthday celebration at Tartufo couldn’t be easier. You start by calling to discuss your vision and guest count. Our team listens to what matters most to you—whether that’s dietary restrictions, favorite dishes, or special touches that make the evening uniquely yours.
Next, we create a custom menu tailored specifically to your celebration. You’re not choosing from a limited party package. Instead, you get access to our full range of authentic Italian dishes, from our signature veal chop to handmade ravioli, all prepared fresh for your special day. We handle dietary accommodations and ensure every guest finds something they’ll love.
On the day of your celebration, you and your guests are welcomed into our elegant second-floor private dining room. Our attentive staff takes care of every detail while you focus on what matters most—celebrating with the people you care about. We even provide those special birthday touches, like complimentary cake and candles, that make the evening feel truly personal.

Your birthday celebration includes access to our dedicated second-floor private dining room, which comfortably accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations. The space features elegant chandeliers, large windows with golden drapes, and a full-service bar that creates the perfect atmosphere for your special day.
You get complete menu customization with our authentic Italian offerings. Choose from signature dishes like our bone-in veal chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese, lobster ravioli in vodka pink sauce, or our famous grilled calamari. Every dish is prepared using organic meats, fresh seafood, and vegetables sourced with the same attention to quality that has made us award-winning.

Plus, parking is never a concern, and our staff coordinates all the logistics so you can focus entirely on celebrating with your guests.

During peak celebration seasons like spring graduation time or holiday periods, we recommend booking even earlier. When you call, we’ll discuss your specific needs and check availability for both our private dining room and our regular dining areas if you prefer a more casual celebration.
Our team appreciates having time to plan your custom menu and coordinate any special requests, so early booking also means we can better accommodate dietary restrictions or special touches that make your birthday celebration uniquely memorable.
