You’re not settling for ordinary seafood anymore. At Tartufo, every dish transforms the finest Atlantic catch into something memorable. Your lobster ravioli arrives with perfectly tender pasta, swimming in vodka pink sauce that actually tastes like it was crafted by someone who cares.
The difference shows immediately. Your scallops aren’t rubbery. Your calamari isn’t chewy. Everything arrives as it should—fresh, expertly prepared, and worth the drive from anywhere in the Merrimack Valley.
You’ll taste why we’ve earned our reputation over nearly two decades. This isn’t just another seafood restaurant trying to get by on location. It’s where Italian tradition meets New England’s best catch, and you get both done right.
We’ve been Tyngsborough’s trusted choice for Italian seafood since 2004. What started as Anna Mountzuris’s vision to bring authentic Abruzzese cuisine to Massachusetts has become the area’s most reliable fine dining destination.

Your dining experience begins with our daily seafood selection, hand-picked fresh from Boston’s harbor markets each morning. Our chefs inspect every piece personally, accepting only what meets our standards for texture, color, and freshness.
In our kitchen, traditional Abruzzese techniques transform your seafood into signature dishes. Your lobster gets carefully extracted and prepared for our famous ravioli. Scallops are seared to perfection for our pappardelle. Every step follows time-tested methods that preserve the natural flavors while adding Italian sophistication.

We specialize in authentic Abruzzese Italian seafood cuisine, which is rare in the Massachusetts area. Unlike typical seafood restaurants that focus on New England preparations, we combine traditional Italian cooking methods with the freshest Atlantic catch. Our chefs are trained in Abruzzo region techniques, and we’ve been perfecting this approach since 2004.
You’re getting dishes like lobster ravioli in vodka pink sauce and pan-seared scallops with pappardelle that you simply won’t find at conventional seafood spots. We source our seafood daily from Boston markets and prepare everything to order using authentic Italian ingredients and methods.
Our seafood arrives fresh daily from Boston’s harbor markets, selected personally by our kitchen team each morning. We never serve frozen seafood that’s been sitting in storage for weeks. Every piece of fish, every scallop, and every portion of lobster meets our strict standards for color, texture, and freshness before it enters our kitchen.
This daily sourcing approach means you’re getting seafood that was likely swimming in Atlantic waters within the past 24-48 hours. Our menu can vary slightly based on what’s at peak freshness, ensuring you always receive the best available catch prepared with authentic Italian techniques.
Yes, our kitchen can accommodate most dietary restrictions while maintaining the integrity of our Italian seafood preparations. We regularly prepare gluten-free pasta options for our seafood dishes and can modify preparations for dairy sensitivities when possible.
Our servers are well-versed in ingredients and preparation methods, so they can guide you toward dishes that work with your specific needs. Since we prepare everything to order, we have flexibility in how we season and sauce your seafood. Just let us know about any restrictions when you make your reservation or when you arrive.
Our signature lobster ravioli consistently ranks as the most requested dish—homemade pasta stuffed with fresh lobster meat in vodka pink sauce with crab meat and arugula. The pan-seared scallops with pappardelle pasta in vodka mascarpone sauce is another favorite, especially among regulars.
Many guests also choose our Frutti di Mare, featuring linguini with shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and scallops in a lightly spicy cherry tomato sauce. Our grilled calamari appetizer has developed its own following over the years. These dishes showcase our Abruzzese approach to seafood—letting the natural flavors shine while adding sophisticated Italian elements.
