You want your birthday celebration to be perfect, not stressful. That’s exactly what you get when you choose our authentic Italian restaurant for your special day.
Your guests will experience genuine Abruzzese cuisine in our dedicated private dining room that accommodates up to 45 people. We handle the coordination, create custom menus, and even surprise you with complimentary birthday cake and candles.
The result? You actually get to enjoy your own party while we take care of every detail. Your celebration becomes the memorable experience you envisioned, not the logistical nightmare you feared.
We’ve been North Reading’s trusted choice for birthday celebrations since 2004. We’re family-owned and operated by Anna and Theodore Mountzuris, who understand that your special day deserves authentic Italian hospitality.
Our award-winning restaurant specializes in Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region. We often hire chefs directly from Abruzzo to ensure every dish reflects genuine Italian tradition.
North Reading families choose us because we deliver what other restaurants promise but don’t execute: personal attention, authentic flavors, and celebration experiences that your guests will talk about for years.
Planning your birthday party at Tartufo is refreshingly straightforward. First, you call us to discuss your vision and guest count. We’ll walk through our private dining options and help you choose the perfect space.
Next, we work with you to create a custom menu featuring our signature dishes like Grilled Calamari, Veal Chop, and homemade pasta. We accommodate dietary restrictions including gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free options.
On your special day, you arrive to find everything perfectly arranged. Our team coordinates every detail while you enjoy live saxophone jazz music, authentic Italian cuisine, and the company of your loved ones. We even surprise birthday guests with complimentary cake and candles.

Your birthday celebration includes access to our upstairs private dining room with full-service bar. The space accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dining or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations.
We provide custom menu creation, professional event coordination, and stress-free planning assistance. Our authentic Abruzzese cuisine features signature dishes like our famous Veal Chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese, plus fresh seafood and homemade pasta.
North Reading residents appreciate our convenient location compared to traveling to Boston’s North End. You get the same authentic Italian experience with the personal attention that only a family-owned restaurant can provide. Live saxophone music on select evenings adds the perfect celebratory atmosphere.
We recommend booking your birthday celebration at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates and larger parties. Our private dining room is popular among North Reading families, and advance booking ensures you get your preferred date and time.
For parties of 8 or more guests, we require reservations to guarantee proper staffing and table arrangements. During peak celebration seasons like spring graduation time and holiday periods, booking a month ahead is even better.
If you need a last-minute celebration, call us anyway. We’ve accommodated walk-in birthday parties before when space allows, and we’ll do everything possible to make your special day happen.
Three things set us apart: authentic Abruzzese cuisine, genuine Italian hospitality, and personalized celebration touches. We’re the only restaurant in North Reading specializing in coastal Italian cuisine from the Abruzzo region, with chefs often hired directly from Italy.
Unlike chain restaurants, we provide complimentary birthday cake and candles without you having to ask. Our family ownership means Anna and Theodore personally ensure your celebration meets their standards, not corporate guidelines.
Our private dining room with full-service bar creates an intimate celebration space that other local restaurants can’t match. You get restaurant-quality food and service in a setting that feels like your own private party room.
Absolutely. We excel at accommodating gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, and other dietary restrictions without compromising flavor or presentation. Our kitchen prepares custom dishes that meet specific dietary needs while maintaining our authentic Italian standards.
When you book your birthday celebration, we’ll discuss any dietary restrictions during menu planning. This allows our chefs to prepare alternatives that your guests with restrictions will genuinely enjoy, not just tolerate.
We’ve successfully handled everything from severe shellfish allergies to complex vegan requirements. Our goal is ensuring every guest at your birthday celebration has an outstanding dining experience, regardless of dietary limitations.
Your private birthday celebration includes exclusive use of our upstairs dining room with full-service bar, accommodating up to 45 guests for seated dining. We provide custom menu planning, professional event coordination, and complete setup and cleanup.

We handle all coordination details including table arrangements, dietary accommodations, and timing. You simply show up and enjoy your party while we ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Our birthday party pricing offers exceptional value when you consider what’s included: authentic Italian cuisine, private dining space, professional coordination, complimentary birthday surprises, and personalized service from our family-owned restaurant.
Unlike venues that charge separate fees for room rental, coordination, and basic amenities, we provide comprehensive birthday celebration packages. You’re investing in a complete experience, not just food and space.
North Reading families choose us because they get authentic Italian dining, private event space, and celebration coordination for less than they’d spend combining a regular restaurant with separate party planning services. Call us for specific pricing based on your guest count and menu preferences.
