Your guests remember two things about private events: how they felt and what they ate. At Tartufo, both are handled with the kind of attention that comes from nearly 20 years of perfecting celebrations in Bedford and surrounding areas.
Our dedicated upstairs dining room transforms your gathering into something memorable. Whether you’re planning an intimate birthday dinner for 15 or a corporate celebration for 45, the space adapts to your vision. The full-service bar, elegant chandeliers, and warm lighting create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and genuinely welcoming.
The difference shows in the details. Fresh pasta made daily. Signature dishes like our renowned veal chop that guests talk about months later. Professional coordination that handles logistics so you can focus on what matters—your people.
Since 2004, Tartufo has been the restaurant Bedford residents trust when their celebrations actually matter. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our reputation on authentic Abruzzese cuisine and the kind of service that makes hosting look effortless.
Our award-winning Italian restaurant specializes in the unique coastal cuisine of the Abruzzo region—think fresh seafood, house-made pasta, and those rare truffle flavors you can’t find at typical Italian spots. We hire chefs from Abruzzo because authenticity isn’t just a marketing term here.
Bedford families have celebrated graduations, anniversaries, and milestone birthdays with us for nearly two decades. Corporate groups return because we understand that business events need to work seamlessly. The 4.5-star rating reflects consistent execution, but the real measure is simpler: people keep coming back when their events matter most.
Planning your private event starts with a conversation about what you actually need. Our team coordinates the details so you can focus on your guests instead of logistics.
First, we’ll discuss your group size, preferred date, and the type of celebration you’re planning. Our upstairs dining room accommodates up to 45 people for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail-style events. We’ll walk you through space options and timing to ensure everything flows smoothly.
Next comes the menu planning. We create custom menus tailored to your group’s preferences and any dietary requirements. Whether you want our signature dishes like the truffle-infused veal chop or prefer a broader selection, we’ll design something that fits your vision and budget.
On event day, our experienced team handles setup, service, and coordination. You’ll have a dedicated point person managing details while our kitchen delivers the same award-winning cuisine that’s earned our reputation. Your job is simply to enjoy your celebration while we ensure everything runs seamlessly.

Your private event includes access to our elegant upstairs dining room with full-service bar, professional event coordination, and custom menu planning. The space features sophisticated lighting, large windows with golden drapes, and an atmosphere that elevates any celebration.
Bedford’s location puts you in the heart of Massachusetts’ thriving suburban dining scene. Unlike venues that treat private events as an afterthought, we’ve designed our upstairs space specifically for celebrations. The layout works for both intimate family gatherings and larger corporate functions, with flexible seating arrangements that adapt to your needs.
Our catering extends beyond the restaurant when needed. We bring the same Abruzzese cuisine and professional service to off-site locations throughout Bedford and surrounding communities. Many Bedford businesses rely on us for corporate events because we understand that food quality and presentation matter when you’re representing your company.
The full-service bar includes wine selections that complement our Italian cuisine, plus cocktails and beer options for diverse preferences. Our experienced bartenders handle everything from wine pairings for dinner events to full cocktail service for reception-style celebrations.
We recommend booking your private event at least 3-4 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates and popular celebration times like graduation season or holiday periods. Our upstairs dining room books quickly because Bedford has limited options for quality private dining.
For corporate events or weekday celebrations, 2-3 weeks notice is usually sufficient. However, we’ve accommodated last-minute requests when possible. The key is flexibility with dates and times—if you have specific requirements for your celebration, earlier booking ensures we can meet them exactly.
During peak seasons like May graduations or December holiday parties, we often book 6-8 weeks ahead. Call us as soon as you know your preferred date, and we’ll work with you to secure the best possible arrangement for your Bedford private event.
Our upstairs private dining room works well for groups of 12 or more, though we don’t have a strict minimum. The space is designed to feel intimate for smaller groups while accommodating up to 45 people for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail-style events.
For groups under 12, we often recommend our semi-private options downstairs, where you can still enjoy dedicated service and menu customization without the full private room experience. This gives you more flexibility while maintaining the special atmosphere your celebration deserves.
The pricing structure reflects group size, with larger parties receiving better per-person value. We’ll discuss options during your planning consultation to find the arrangement that makes the most sense for your Bedford private event and budget.
Yes, we regularly accommodate dietary restrictions including gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and various food allergies. Our kitchen team is experienced with special dietary needs and can modify most of our signature dishes or create alternatives that maintain the same quality and presentation.
When planning your menu, let us know about any restrictions in your group. We’ll suggest modifications to our regular offerings or create specific dishes that ensure everyone can enjoy the meal. Our homemade pasta can be prepared gluten-free, and we have excellent vegetarian options that go beyond basic modifications.
For severe allergies, we take extra precautions in food preparation and service. We’ll discuss specific protocols during your planning meeting to ensure everyone in your Bedford private event can dine safely and enjoyably. Our goal is ensuring no one feels left out of the celebration.
Private event pricing includes exclusive use of our upstairs dining room, professional event coordination, custom menu planning, dedicated service staff, and standard table settings and linens. The full-service bar is available with either hosted or cash bar options depending on your preference.
Menu pricing varies based on your selections, group size, and service style. We offer both plated dinner service and cocktail reception formats. Wine pairings, specialty cocktails, and premium bar selections are available as add-ons to the base package.
Additional services like special floral arrangements, custom desserts, or audio-visual equipment can be arranged through our preferred vendors. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown of all costs during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect for your Bedford private event. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Yes, we provide full catering services throughout Bedford and surrounding Massachusetts communities. Our off-site catering brings the same award-winning Abruzzese cuisine and professional service to your chosen venue, whether it’s a corporate office, private home, or event space.
Off-site catering includes menu planning, food preparation, delivery, setup, and service staff when needed. We handle everything from intimate dinner parties to larger corporate functions. Our catering menus feature our signature dishes adapted for off-site service while maintaining the quality we’re known for.
Popular catering options include our homemade pasta selections, signature veal and seafood dishes, and Italian-inspired appetizer spreads. We’ll work with you to design a menu that fits your venue’s capabilities and your event’s requirements. Many Bedford businesses rely on our catering for important meetings and celebrations because they know the food and service will represent them well.
Unlike generic event spaces or chain restaurants, we offer authentic Abruzzese cuisine that you won’t find elsewhere in Bedford. Our chefs often come directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy, bringing genuine techniques and flavors that create memorable dining experiences for your guests.
We’ve been part of the Bedford-Newton community for nearly 20 years, building relationships with local families and businesses who return for their important celebrations. This experience shows in how we handle events—we understand what works, what doesn’t, and how to make your celebration run smoothly.
Our upstairs private dining room was designed specifically for events, not converted from regular restaurant space. The elegant atmosphere, professional service, and award-winning cuisine combine to create celebrations that your guests will actually remember. When your event matters, the difference in quality and execution becomes obvious.
