You want your birthday to feel special, not just like another dinner out. At Tartufo, we understand that the right atmosphere changes everything. Our dedicated private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests, giving you the space to celebrate without worrying about disturbing other diners or feeling rushed.
The result? You actually get to enjoy your own party. Your guests remember the evening for all the right reasons – the perfectly prepared veal chop, the warm ambiance with live saxophone music, and the way our staff anticipated every need without being intrusive.
This is what happens when 20+ years of experience meets genuine Italian hospitality. You leave knowing your celebration was exactly what you envisioned.
Since 2004, we’ve been the go-to destination for Stow families who refuse to settle for ordinary celebrations. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our reputation on authentic Abruzzese cuisine and the kind of service that makes regulars out of first-time visitors.
Stow residents know they can count on us for consistent quality – whether it’s a milestone birthday for 45 people or an intimate celebration for six. Our 4.5-star reputation isn’t just about the food (though our homemade pasta and signature dishes speak for themselves). It’s about understanding that your birthday matters.
We’ve watched Stow grow and change over the years, but one thing remains constant: people want their celebrations to feel personal, not processed.
Planning your birthday party restaurant experience starts with a conversation, not a contract. Call us to discuss your vision – whether you’re thinking intimate dinner for 12 or cocktail celebration for 55. We’ll walk you through our upstairs private dining room options and help you understand what works best for your group size and style.
Next, we create a custom menu tailored to your preferences. Maybe you want our signature veal chop as the centerpiece, or perhaps you’d prefer a family-style approach with multiple pasta dishes to share. We accommodate dietary restrictions without making anyone feel left out.
On the day of your celebration, our team handles the coordination so you can focus on your guests. From the moment you arrive, we’re managing timing, service flow, and those little details that turn a good dinner into a memorable celebration. You get to be the guest of honor at your own party.

Your birthday party restaurant experience includes access to our dedicated upstairs dining room with full bar service, accommodating groups from intimate gatherings to 45-person celebrations. For cocktail-style events, we can host up to 55 guests comfortably.
Our culinary team specializes in made-to-order Italian dishes using all-natural ingredients. Signature offerings include our renowned grilled calamari, house-made pasta varieties, and the celebrated veal chop that keeps guests talking long after the evening ends. We also provide custom menu creation to match your celebration style and budget.
Stow area residents particularly appreciate our stress-free planning coordination. We handle everything from room setup to timing coordination, plus our live saxophone jazz music on select evenings adds that special touch that makes birthdays feel truly elevated. Our catering services can also bring the Tartufo experience to your home if you prefer a different setting for your celebration.
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 Stow families, and advance booking ensures you get your preferred date and time.
For parties of 15 or more, we suggest calling even earlier – particularly during peak celebration months like December and May. This gives us time to work with you on custom menu planning and ensures our team can provide the personalized attention your celebration deserves.
If you’re planning a last-minute celebration, call us anyway. We often have flexibility for smaller groups and can sometimes accommodate larger parties if our schedule allows.
Our upstairs private dining room comes with dedicated space for up to 45 guests for seated dinners, or 55 for cocktail-style celebrations. You get your own full-service bar area, so your group isn’t competing with other diners for bartender attention.
The space includes professional sound system capabilities if you want background music beyond our regular ambiance. We provide all standard table settings, linens, and can accommodate special setup requests like gift tables or photo areas.
Most importantly, you get a dedicated server team that focuses exclusively on your party. This means faster service, better attention to dietary needs, and the kind of seamless experience that lets you actually enjoy your own birthday celebration instead of worrying about logistics.
Absolutely. We work with dietary restrictions regularly and can create modified versions of most menu items. Our kitchen handles gluten-free pasta preparations, dairy-free options, and vegetarian alternatives to our traditional Italian dishes.
When you book your birthday party, we’ll discuss any dietary needs during the planning conversation. This allows our kitchen team to prepare properly rather than making last-minute substitutions that might not meet your guests’ expectations.
For severe allergies, we take extra precautions with ingredient sourcing and preparation methods. We’d rather spend time upfront ensuring everyone can enjoy the celebration safely than deal with problems during your special evening.
We offer several approaches to birthday desserts. Our house-made desserts include traditional Italian options like cannoli and tiramisu that work beautifully for birthday celebrations. Many guests love ending their meal with our signature desserts paired with limoncello.
You’re also welcome to bring your own birthday cake. We’ll provide plates, forks, and can even help with the candle lighting and presentation. There’s no corkage fee for outside desserts when you’re hosting a private dining celebration.
Some families choose a combination approach – they’ll bring a special birthday cake for the traditional moment, then offer our Italian desserts as additional options. This works especially well for larger groups where not everyone may want cake but still appreciates a sweet ending to the meal.
The biggest difference is authenticity combined with genuine hospitality. We’re not a chain restaurant with standardized celebration packages. Anna Mountzuris founded Tartufo with a specific vision for Abruzzese cuisine, and that personal touch shows in everything from our homemade pasta to our custom menu planning.
Our 20+ years serving the Stow community means we understand local preferences and expectations. We’ve celebrated with multiple generations of the same families, so we know how to make each celebration feel personal rather than processed.
The combination of our dedicated private dining space, live jazz music on select evenings, and cuisine that goes beyond typical “Italian-American” offerings creates an experience you simply can’t get at larger restaurant chains or casual dining spots.
Our birthday party pricing is straightforward and based on your actual food and beverage selections rather than arbitrary “event fees.” We create custom menus based on your budget and preferences, so you’re not paying for items your group won’t enjoy.
Private dining room access is included when you meet our minimum food and beverage purchase, which varies by day of the week and party size. Weekend minimums are higher than weekday celebrations, but we’ll explain all costs upfront during planning so there are no surprises.
Many Stow families find our approach more cost-effective than restaurants that charge separate room fees plus inflated “party menu” pricing. You’re paying for quality food and professional service, not arbitrary celebration surcharges that don’t add value to your experience.
