You’re not just ordering dinner—you’re stepping into a culinary tradition that spans generations. When you choose Tartufo, you’re choosing nearly two decades of proven excellence in authentic Italian seafood preparation. Our chefs bring the coastal flavors of Italy’s Abruzzo region directly to your table, using techniques and recipes that have been perfected over centuries.
Your evening transforms the moment you walk through our doors. The warm ambiance, complemented by live saxophone jazz on select nights, creates the perfect backdrop for intimate conversations and special celebrations. You’ll taste the difference that comes from using only the freshest local catches, prepared with authentic Italian methods that honor both tradition and innovation.
This isn’t your typical seafood restaurant experience. You’re getting restaurant-quality dishes crafted by chefs who understand the delicate balance between respecting classic Italian preparations and creating something memorable for today’s discerning palate.
We’ve been serving Everett and the surrounding communities since 2004, building a reputation that spans nearly twenty years of consistent quality and authentic Italian hospitality. What started as a vision to bring the unique flavors of Italy’s Abruzzo coastal region to New England has grown into one of the area’s most trusted seafood destinations.
Our commitment goes beyond just serving excellent food. We’ve created a place where families celebrate milestones, couples enjoy romantic evenings, and friends gather for memorable meals. We take our name from the rare truffle mushroom found only in the Abruzzo region, reflecting our dedication to authentic ingredients and traditional preparation methods.
Located conveniently in Everett, we offer the sophisticated dining experience you’d expect from Boston’s North End, but with the warmth and accessibility that comes from being part of your local community. Our award-winning status isn’t just recognition—it’s a promise that every visit will meet the high standards we’ve maintained for decades.
Your exceptional dining experience begins with our careful selection of the freshest local catches and premium imported ingredients.

Everett diners particularly appreciate our convenient location and ample parking, eliminating the hassles often associated with fine dining in busier urban areas. Our menu reflects both the coastal traditions of Italy and an understanding of New England’s seafood preferences, creating dishes that feel both authentic and familiar to local palates.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region, which naturally emphasizes fresh seafood in ways that set us apart from typical New England seafood restaurants. Our chefs are trained in traditional Italian preparation methods, and we use ingredients like rare truffle mushrooms imported directly from the Abruzzo region.
We’ve been serving the Everett community for nearly twenty years, building relationships and refining our approach based on what local diners truly want. Unlike restaurants that focus solely on either Italian cuisine or seafood, we’ve mastered the intersection of both, creating dishes that honor Italian coastal traditions while using the freshest New England catches.

Live jazz music on select evenings, carefully curated wine pairings, and service that feels both professional and personal create an experience that goes well beyond just an excellent meal.
Absolutely. Our kitchen team has extensive experience modifying our seafood preparations to accommodate various dietary needs while maintaining the authentic flavors and quality you expect. We regularly work with guests who have shellfish allergies, gluten sensitivities, or other specific requirements.
Since we prepare everything to order using fresh ingredients, we can often adjust preparations, substitute ingredients, or recommend dishes that naturally meet your dietary needs. Our servers are well-trained to discuss options and work directly with the kitchen to ensure your meal is both safe and delicious.
We recommend mentioning any dietary restrictions when making your reservation or immediately upon arrival. This allows our team to provide the best possible recommendations and ensures the kitchen has adequate time to prepare your meal properly. Many of our regular guests have specific dietary needs, and we’ve built lasting relationships by consistently accommodating them without compromising on taste or presentation.
Our signature grilled calamari consistently ranks as a guest favorite—it’s prepared using a traditional Abruzzese method that creates a perfect balance of tenderness and flavor that’s difficult to find elsewhere. The lobster ravioli, made fresh in-house, combines premium lobster with our house-made pasta and a delicate sauce that highlights rather than masks the seafood.
Our seafood risotto changes based on the day’s freshest catches, but typically includes a combination of shrimp, scallops, and seasonal fish prepared in the traditional Arborio rice style. The dish showcases our kitchen’s ability to balance multiple seafood flavors while maintaining the creamy, perfectly cooked texture that defines excellent risotto.
For guests who want to experience our range, we often recommend starting with the antipasto featuring various seafood preparations, followed by either our signature veal chop with truffle accompaniments or one of our fresh fish preparations. Our wine list includes several selections specifically chosen to complement these dishes, and our servers can guide you toward pairings that enhance the entire experience.
We’ve become Everett’s go-to destination for anniversaries, proposals, birthday celebrations, and other milestone events. Our elegant atmosphere, featuring warm lighting and sophisticated décor, creates the perfect backdrop for intimate conversations and special moments. The live saxophone music on select evenings adds an extra layer of romance without overwhelming conversation.
We offer several options for special occasions, from our main dining room with its inviting ambiance to our private dining space that can accommodate larger celebrations. Our service team is experienced in handling special requests—whether that’s arranging flowers, accommodating custom menu requests, or ensuring dietary restrictions are properly handled for your celebration.
Many couples choose us for date nights because we’ve struck the right balance between upscale dining and comfortable atmosphere. You’ll feel appropriately dressed up for the occasion without feeling intimidated by overly formal service. Our location also offers convenient parking and easy access, removing common stress points that can detract from special evenings.
For regular dining, we recommend calling at least a few days ahead, especially for weekend evenings when we tend to fill up quickly. Our reputation in the Everett community means we often have repeat guests who book their favorite tables well in advance, particularly for Friday and Saturday nights.
For special occasions or larger parties, booking two to three weeks ahead ensures you’ll get your preferred date and seating arrangement. Our private dining room is especially popular for celebrations and tends to book up during busy seasons like holidays, graduation periods, and wedding season.
If you’re planning a last-minute visit, we do accept walk-ins when space permits, and our bar area often has availability even when the main dining room is full. Calling ahead, even on the same day, gives you the best chance of securing a table and allows us to accommodate any special requests or dietary needs you might have.
Our pricing reflects the quality of ingredients, authentic preparation methods, and level of service that has earned us recognition as one of Everett’s premier dining destinations. Entrées typically range from moderate to upscale pricing, with most guests finding the portions generous and the quality exceptional for the cost.
When you consider that you’re getting restaurant-quality Italian seafood prepared by experienced chefs, using premium ingredients like imported truffles and the freshest local catches, most guests find excellent value in the complete experience. The atmosphere, service, and food quality combine to create an evening that justifies the investment, especially for special occasions.
We also offer various options to accommodate different budgets, from our bar menu with smaller plates to full multi-course experiences.
