You want your birthday celebration to feel special, not like another generic dinner out. At Tartufo, every birthday party gets the attention it deserves – from our complimentary birthday cake service to our dedicated private dining spaces that accommodate your entire group.
Your guests will experience authentic Abruzzese cuisine that goes far beyond typical Italian-American fare. Think signature Grilled Calamari, house-made pasta, and our famous Veal Chop – dishes that create conversation and memories long after the candles are blown out.
The stress of coordinating a birthday party disappears when our experienced team handles the details. Custom menus, private dining coordination, and nearly two decades of celebration expertise means you actually get to enjoy your own party.
Since 2004, we’ve been Arlington’s go-to destination for birthday celebrations that matter. Founded by Anna Mountzuris with a commitment to authentic Italian tradition, we’ve built our reputation on creating experiences, not just meals.
Our chefs come directly from Italy’s Abruzzo region, bringing techniques and recipes you won’t find at other restaurants for birthdays near you. This isn’t about cutting corners or serving frozen food – everything from our pasta to our signature truffle dishes is crafted from scratch using organic, locally-sourced ingredients when possible.
What sets us apart in Arlington’s dining scene is our understanding that birthdays are personal. We’ve celebrated everything from intimate dinners for two to milestone parties for 45 guests, always with the same attention to detail that has kept families coming back for nearly twenty years.
Planning your birthday celebration starts with a conversation about what matters to you. Our team works with you to understand your group size, dietary preferences, and the atmosphere you’re hoping to create.
For intimate gatherings, our main dining room offers the perfect backdrop with live saxophone music on select evenings and our signature warm, inviting atmosphere. Larger birthday parties head upstairs to our private dining room, which accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations.
Menu customization is where the magic happens. Rather than forcing you to choose from limited party packages, we create custom menus that reflect your preferences and dietary needs. Our kitchen handles everything from gluten-free options to family-style sharing platters, ensuring every guest feels included in the celebration.

Arlington residents have discovered what makes us different from typical birthday celebration restaurants – it’s the details that create lasting memories. Our complimentary birthday cake service appears tableside without you having to ask, complete with candles and that perfect photo moment.
The private dining experience includes dedicated service staff, customizable lighting, and the flexibility to bring in additional decorations or entertainment. Our upstairs private room features elegant chandeliers and large windows, while our newly renovated downstairs offers a more contemporary setting with our expansive bar as the centerpiece.
Local families appreciate our understanding of Arlington’s dining preferences. We know you want quality without pretension, authentic flavors without the drive to Boston’s North End, and service that makes you feel like regulars from your first visit. That’s exactly what twenty years in this community has taught us to deliver.
We recommend booking your birthday celebration at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates and our private dining room. Our upstairs private space accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinners and books quickly during peak celebration seasons.
For smaller birthday parties in our main dining room, we can often accommodate shorter notice, but advance reservations ensure you get your preferred date and time. Peak times like Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as popular birthday months, fill up fastest.
If you’re planning a milestone birthday or large family celebration, reaching out a month ahead gives us time to customize every detail of your menu and coordinate any special requests you might have.
Our second floor private dining room is specifically designed for birthday celebrations and special events. The space accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dining or up to 55 people for cocktail-style parties, featuring elegant chandeliers, large windows with natural light, and a dedicated full-service bar.
The private room includes exclusive use of the space, dedicated service staff, and complete menu customization. We can accommodate everything from family-style sharing platters to individual plated meals, with options for dietary restrictions and special requests.
For smaller, more intimate birthday celebrations, our main dining room offers a warm atmosphere with the possibility of live saxophone music on select evenings. Both options provide the same attention to detail and authentic Italian cuisine that has made us Arlington’s trusted birthday celebration destination for nearly two decades.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience accommodating various dietary needs for birthday celebrations, from gluten-free and vegetarian options to specific food allergies. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, giving us complete control over ingredients and preparation methods.
When you book your birthday party, we’ll discuss any dietary restrictions during the planning process. Our chefs can modify most of our signature dishes or create alternative options that ensure every guest feels included in the celebration. We’ve successfully handled everything from celiac disease to severe nut allergies.
For larger birthday parties in our private dining room, we often create custom menus that include multiple options for different dietary needs. This approach means you don’t have to worry about any guest feeling left out of the celebration because of their dietary requirements.
Every birthday celebration at Tartufo includes our signature complimentary birthday cake service – we’ll surprise the birthday person with a delicious dessert and candles, creating that perfect celebratory moment without you having to arrange it separately.
For private dining birthday parties, you get exclusive use of our upstairs room, dedicated service staff, customizable menu options, and coordination assistance to ensure everything runs smoothly. We handle the details so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.
All birthday parties, whether in our private room or main dining area, include our award-winning Italian cuisine prepared fresh from authentic recipes, attentive service from our experienced staff, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has made us Arlington’s go-to birthday destination for nearly twenty years.
Our birthday party pricing depends on your group size, menu selections, and whether you choose our private dining room or celebrate in our main restaurant. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
For private dining celebrations, we work within your budget to create a custom menu that delivers exceptional value. Our team will provide a detailed proposal outlining all costs upfront, including food, beverages, service, and any additional requests you might have.
Smaller birthday celebrations in our main dining room simply involve regular menu pricing plus our complimentary birthday cake service. We’re happy to discuss pricing options during your initial consultation to ensure your celebration fits comfortably within your budget while exceeding your expectations.
What sets us apart is our combination of authentic Italian heritage and deep Arlington community roots. Since 2004, we’ve specialized in creating personalized birthday experiences rather than generic party packages. Our chefs come directly from Italy’s Abruzzo region, bringing authentic techniques and recipes you won’t find elsewhere.
The difference shows in details like our complimentary birthday cake service that appears without you asking, our ability to customize menus for any dietary need, and our private dining space designed specifically for celebrations. We’ve spent nearly two decades learning what Arlington families want from their special occasions.
Most importantly, we understand that birthdays are personal milestones that deserve individual attention. Whether you’re celebrating a child’s birthday, a milestone anniversary, or an intimate dinner for two, we approach every celebration with the same commitment to making it memorable and stress-free for you and meaningful for your guests.
