You’re not looking for another chicken parm and lasagna joint. You want the kind of Italian food that actually tastes like it came from Italy.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here. We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine – the coastal region where seafood meets mountains, where rare truffles grow, and where recipes have been passed down for generations. Every dish is made to order using all-natural ingredients, the way Italian families have cooked for centuries.
When you sit down, you’re not just getting dinner. You’re getting a taste of a specific place in Italy that most restaurants have never even heard of.
Since 2004, we’ve been serving Belmont families the kind of Italian food you’d find in the coastal villages of Abruzzo. Not the heavy, sauce-laden dishes most people think of as “Italian food,” but the lighter, seafood-rich cuisine of Italy’s Adriatic coast.
We’re named after the rare truffle mushroom that grows only in the Abruzzo region. You’ll taste it in our signature dishes, along with the fresh seafood and handmade pastas that define this unique corner of Italian cuisine. Our chefs often come directly from Abruzzo, bringing techniques and recipes that can’t be learned from cookbooks.
While other restaurants chase trends, we’ve stayed focused on one thing: authentic Italian cooking that honors the traditions of a specific region.
Everything starts when you place your order. No heat lamps, no pre-made sauces sitting around. Your pasta is made fresh, your seafood is prepared to order, and your sauces are crafted specifically for your dish.
Our kitchen works the way Italian kitchens have always worked – with fresh, natural ingredients and time-tested techniques. You’ll taste the difference in every bite, whether it’s our signature truffle dishes, our fresh seafood preparations, or our handmade pasta.
The result is Italian food that actually tastes Italian. Not heavy, not overly sauced, but balanced and flavorful in the way that only comes from authentic preparation and quality ingredients.

You’ll find dishes here that you won’t see anywhere else in the area – specialties from the Abruzzo coast that showcase the region’s unique combination of mountain and sea ingredients. Our wine selection focuses on Italian varietals that pair perfectly with our coastal cuisine.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two, celebrating with family, or hosting a private event in our upstairs dining room, you’ll experience the kind of Italian hospitality that turns a meal into a memory. Our staff knows the menu inside and out and can guide you to dishes that match exactly what you’re craving.
Abruzzese cuisine comes from Italy’s Adriatic coast, where the mountains meet the sea. This creates a unique cooking style that’s lighter and more seafood-focused than the heavy, sauce-laden dishes most Americans think of as Italian food.
You’ll find dishes featuring fresh seafood, rare truffles that grow only in this region, and pasta preparations that highlight the natural flavors of high-quality ingredients rather than masking them with heavy sauces. The cuisine emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared simply but expertly.
This regional approach means you’re getting authentic Italian flavors that most restaurants in the area simply don’t offer because they stick to the more common dishes from other parts of Italy.
Yes, we regularly accommodate dietary needs, special requests, and menu modifications. Our kitchen works with fresh, natural ingredients, which gives us the flexibility to adjust dishes for various dietary requirements.
Since we make everything to order rather than using pre-made sauces or preparations, we can often modify dishes to work with gluten-free, vegetarian, or other dietary needs. Our staff is knowledgeable about ingredients and preparation methods, so we can guide you to dishes that work for your specific requirements.
We recommend letting us know about any dietary restrictions when you make your reservation or when you arrive, so we can ensure your meal is prepared exactly the way you need it.
We offer a warm, elegant atmosphere that works well for both intimate dinners and family celebrations. The main dining room has a sophisticated but comfortable feel, perfect for date nights or special occasions.
Some evenings feature live saxophone music, which adds to the romantic ambiance without overwhelming conversation. We also have an upstairs private dining room that can accommodate larger groups for celebrations, business dinners, or private events.
The atmosphere strikes a balance between refined and welcoming – you’ll feel comfortable whether you’re dressed up for a special occasion or coming in for a casual family dinner. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and the pace allows you to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.
Our pricing reflects the quality of ingredients and authentic preparation methods we use. While we’re not the cheapest option in the area, you’re paying for genuine Italian cuisine made with all-natural ingredients and traditional techniques.
When you factor in the generous portions, the quality of ingredients, and the level of service, most guests find excellent value. You’re getting restaurant-quality food that’s made to order, not reheated from a steam table or loaded with fillers to cut costs.
Many of our regular customers tell us they’d rather pay a bit more for authentic, well-prepared food than settle for generic Italian dishes at a lower price. The difference in quality and flavor is immediately apparent.
Yes, we offer takeout for all our menu items, and many Belmont families rely on us for convenient Italian dining at home. Our made-to-order approach means your takeout food is prepared fresh, not sitting under heat lamps.
We package everything carefully to maintain the quality and temperature of your food during transport. Even our more delicate seafood dishes and pasta preparations travel well when properly packaged.
For larger orders or special occasions, we recommend calling ahead to ensure we can have your order ready at your preferred pickup time. This is especially helpful during busy periods or when you’re ordering for a group.
First-time guests often start with our signature truffle dishes, since the rare Abruzzo truffle is what we’re named after and what sets us apart from other Italian restaurants in the area. Our pappardelle al tartufo showcases this unique ingredient beautifully.
For seafood lovers, our fresh preparations featuring the coastal specialties of Abruzzo are consistently popular. These dishes highlight the lighter, more refined side of Italian cuisine that many people haven’t experienced before.
Our handmade pasta dishes are also excellent choices for first visits, as they demonstrate the difference that fresh, made-to-order preparation makes. Whatever you choose, our staff can guide you toward dishes that match your preferences while introducing you to the authentic flavors that make Abruzzese cuisine special.
