You’re not just booking a room—you’re creating moments your guests will remember. Our dedicated second-floor dining space becomes your private sanctuary, where every detail serves your vision. No generic banquet hall experience here.
Your guests taste authentic Abruzzese cuisine prepared by chefs who understand the craft. They experience the warmth of live saxophone music drifting through elegant chandeliers and large windows. Most importantly, they feel the care you put into choosing a place that actually delivers.
Whether it’s 15 people or 55, intimate dinner or cocktail celebration, your event gets the attention it deserves. You walk away knowing you made the right choice.
Since 2004, we’ve been North Reading’s choice for events that matter. We’re not the newest place in town, and that’s exactly the point. Two decades of serving this community taught us what works and what doesn’t.
Anna Mountzuris founded Tartufo with a simple concept: authentic Italian tradition using organic ingredients and genuine hospitality. We hire chefs from the Abruzzo region because authenticity isn’t just a marketing word here—it’s how we operate. Our 4.5-star reputation comes from consistently delivering experiences that exceed expectations.
North Reading families trust us with their most important celebrations. Local businesses choose us for events that need to impress. That trust doesn’t happen overnight—it’s earned one event at a time.
First, we listen. Your vision, your budget, your must-haves and deal-breakers. No generic packages—we design around what actually matters to you.
Next, we coordinate everything. Menu planning, room setup, timing, special requests. You get one point of contact who knows your event inside and out. No passing messages between departments or wondering if details got lost.
On event day, our team handles execution while you focus on your guests. Your dedicated server knows the flow. The kitchen delivers each course perfectly timed. The atmosphere you envisioned becomes reality.
After your guests leave talking about the experience, you’ll understand why families keep choosing us for their most important celebrations.

North Reading’s dining scene has grown, but authentic Italian cuisine for private events remains rare. We source ingredients the way Italian restaurants should—focusing on quality over shortcuts. Our homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and Abruzzo regional specialties set us apart from typical event venues.

We’re an authentic Italian restaurant first, event venue second. That means your guests experience genuine Abruzzese cuisine prepared by chefs who often come from the Abruzzo region of Italy—not generic banquet food.
Since 2004, we’ve built our reputation on consistency and quality. Our 4.5-star rating reflects twenty years of delivering exceptional experiences.

Absolutely. Custom menu creation is standard for our private events, not an upcharge. We work with vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs regularly.
Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch using authentic Italian techniques, which gives us flexibility other venues can’t match.

We discuss all dietary requirements during planning to ensure everyone enjoys the meal.
Your private event includes the dedicated second-floor dining room, full-service bar, custom menu planning, and complete coordination support. We handle room setup, service timing, and special requests as part of our standard service.
You get a dedicated server who knows your event details and preferences. Kitchen timing is coordinated to your schedule, not ours. The elegant atmosphere with chandeliers, large windows, and live saxophone music on certain evenings creates the ambiance without additional entertainment costs. Stress-free planning means we manage the details so you can focus on your guests.
We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on availability. Popular dates like weekends, holidays, and graduation season book earliest.
Earlier booking gives us more time for custom menu planning and ensures your preferred date and setup. However, we’ve successfully coordinated beautiful events with just two weeks’ notice when needed. The key is calling to discuss your specific requirements—we’ll let you know what’s possible and work with your timeline.
