What makes Tartufo's seafood different from other Italian restaurants in Littleton?

We specialize in Abruzzese coastal cuisine, which is distinctly different from typical Italian-American fare. This region of Italy sits along the Adriatic Sea, so seafood isn’t an afterthought—it’s central to the cuisine.

We employ chefs trained in these specific coastal techniques. You’re getting preparations like Grilled Calamari that’s tender and flavorful, not the rubbery version most places serve. Seafood risottos where the arborio rice actually absorbs the essence of the sea.

Most importantly, everything is prepared fresh to order using all-natural ingredients. No frozen seafood, no shortcuts, no compromising on quality to hit a price point.

Our seafood arrives daily and is selected specifically for quality and freshness. We’ve been building relationships with suppliers for nearly 20 years, so we know what to look for and who delivers consistently.

You can taste the difference immediately. Fresh seafood has a clean, ocean taste without any “fishy” smell or flavor. The texture is firm but tender, never mushy or rubbery like seafood that’s been sitting too long.

Our kitchen staff knows how to handle fresh seafood properly—proper storage, correct cooking temperatures, and timing that ensures your dish arrives at peak quality. That’s why regulars keep coming back and why we’ve maintained our reputation for two decades.

Our Grilled Calamari is a signature dish that sets the standard for how calamari should be prepared. Tender, not rubbery, with the kind of char and seasoning that makes it memorable.

Our Seafood Risotto features fresh scallops, lobster meat, and shrimp with shiitake mushrooms and asparagus in a lobster sauce. It’s the kind of dish that shows what happens when you don’t cut corners on ingredients.

Our Linguini alle Vongole uses fresh clams with garlic, white wine, and just enough crushed red pepper to enhance without overwhelming. Simple preparation that lets the quality of the seafood shine through.
