You’re not looking for just another dinner out. You want your birthday to feel different—elevated, memorable, worth the effort you put into gathering everyone together.
That’s exactly what happens when you celebrate at Tartufo. Your guests walk into our warm, inviting space and immediately know this isn’t your typical chain restaurant experience. The live saxophone jazz sets the mood. The aroma of fresh pasta and authentic Italian spices fills the air. And our team treats your celebration like it matters—because it does.
When the evening’s winding down and your complimentary birthday cake arrives with lit candles, you’ll see it in everyone’s faces. This is the kind of birthday celebration people remember years later.
Since 2004, we’ve been the Italian restaurant that Medford-area families trust for their most important celebrations. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our reputation on authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean cuisine prepared with all-natural ingredients.
Our award-winning restaurant isn’t just about the food—though our signature Veal Chop and Grilled Calamari have earned their reputation. It’s about creating an atmosphere where birthdays feel genuinely special. Our dedicated second-floor private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests, giving you the intimacy you want without the chaos of a crowded dining room.
Medford families choose us because we understand what makes a birthday celebration work. The details matter. The service matters. And most importantly, making sure the birthday person feels truly celebrated matters.
Planning your birthday celebration at Tartufo starts with a conversation about what you envision. Our team works with you to create a custom menu that fits your group’s preferences and any dietary needs. Whether you want family-style sharing or individual entrées, we’ll design something that works.
Once you’ve booked your private dining room, we handle the setup and coordination. Your guests arrive to a beautifully arranged space with tables set for your party size. Our experienced servers know how to pace the evening—when to bring courses, when to step back, and when to present that complimentary birthday cake that’s become our signature touch.
The result is a celebration that flows naturally from start to finish. You get to be present for your own birthday instead of worrying about logistics. Your guests leave talking about the food, the atmosphere, and how perfectly everything came together.

Your birthday party at Tartufo includes access to our private second-floor dining room with full bar service. We can accommodate up to 45 guests for seated dining or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations. The space comes with its own dedicated service team who understands how to make birthday celebrations special.
Medford-area families particularly appreciate our flexibility with timing and setup. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner for eight or a larger celebration for extended family, we adjust our service style to match your vision. Our kitchen creates custom menus featuring our signature homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and those authentic Italian flavors that have earned us recognition throughout the Boston area.
The details that set us apart include complimentary birthday cake service, live saxophone music on select evenings, and a wine selection that pairs perfectly with our Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. We also handle all the coordination and cleanup, so you can focus entirely on celebrating with the people who matter most.
We recommend booking your birthday celebration at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates or larger groups. Our private dining room is popular among Medford families, particularly during peak celebration months like spring and early summer.
For parties of 20 or more guests, we suggest booking even earlier—4-6 weeks ahead gives us the best opportunity to customize your menu and ensure every detail is perfect. If you have a specific date in mind, call us as soon as possible. We’ll work with you to secure your preferred time and discuss all the options for making your birthday celebration exactly what you envision.
Absolutely. Our kitchen team is experienced in creating custom menus that work for guests with various dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and other specific requirements. When you book your birthday celebration, we’ll discuss any dietary restrictions in your group.
Our authentic Italian cuisine naturally offers many options that work for different dietary preferences. We can modify our signature dishes or create entirely new preparations to ensure every guest has delicious options. The key is letting us know about any restrictions when you make your reservation, so our chefs have time to plan and prepare properly.
Your private dining room rental includes the exclusive use of our second-floor space with dedicated service staff, table setup for your party size, and full access to our bar. The room accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dining or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations.
We also provide complimentary birthday cake service—our signature touch that guests always remember. The space comes with ambient lighting, and on select evenings, you’ll enjoy live saxophone music that adds to the celebration atmosphere. All coordination, setup, and cleanup are handled by our team, so you can focus entirely on enjoying your special day with family and friends.
We create custom dining experiences rather than offering set packages, because every birthday celebration is different. Our approach is to work with you to design a menu and service style that fits your vision and budget.
Whether you prefer family-style sharing, individual entrées, or a combination of both, we’ll create something that works for your group. Our menu features our signature homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and authentic Italian specialties. We can also arrange for appetizer stations, wine pairings, or other special touches that make your celebration unique. The goal is creating exactly the birthday experience you want, not fitting you into a predetermined package.
Yes, parking is available and convenient for your birthday party guests. We understand that parking can be a concern when you’re coordinating a celebration, especially for larger groups arriving around the same time.
Our location provides accessible parking options, and we’re familiar with the best nearby parking solutions for guests who might be unfamiliar with the area. When you book your birthday celebration, our team will provide specific parking information and directions to ensure your guests can arrive easily and focus on celebrating rather than searching for parking spots.
While we provide complimentary birthday cake service as part of our celebration experience, we understand that sometimes you have a special cake in mind. We’re happy to discuss options for bringing your own cake—our team can handle the presentation and service just as we would with our own.
For decorations, we can accommodate reasonable requests that work with our private dining room setup. Simple decorations like balloons or small centerpieces are usually fine, but we ask that you coordinate with us in advance. Our goal is making sure your birthday celebration feels personal and special while maintaining the elegant atmosphere that makes Tartufo distinctive. Let’s discuss your specific ideas when you book your reservation.
