When you choose Tartufo for your Ashland catering needs, you’re not just getting food delivered. You’re getting an authentic Italian experience that transforms your gathering into something your guests will talk about for months.
Your event runs smoothly because we handle the coordination details that stress you out. Fresh pasta made to order, signature seafood dishes, and our famous Grilled Calamari arrive exactly when promised, prepared exactly how you envisioned.
No more worrying about whether the food will live up to expectations or if you’ve ordered enough. Our 20 years of experience serving the greater Boston area means we know exactly how to make your Ashland event memorable for all the right reasons.
We bring authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean cuisine to Ashland events with the same commitment to quality that has earned us a 4.5-star reputation over two decades. Owner Anna Mountzuris founded our restaurant on a simple principle: every dish should feature organic meats, fresh fish, vegetables, and freshly baked bread prepared in authentic Italian tradition.
We understand Ashland’s community values because we’ve been part of the greater Boston dining scene since 2004. Whether you’re planning a corporate lunch in Ashland’s business district, a family celebration, or a wedding reception, we bring the warmth of Italian hospitality directly to your event.
Our catering service isn’t just about delivering food—it’s about creating an atmosphere where your guests feel welcomed and well-fed, just like they would at our Newton restaurant.
Planning your Ashland catering starts with a conversation about your vision. We discuss your guest count, dietary needs, event style, and budget to create a custom menu that fits perfectly. No generic packages or one-size-fits-all approaches.
Once your menu is finalized, our kitchen begins preparing everything made-to-order using the same fresh, natural ingredients we use in our restaurant. This means your pasta is handmade, your seafood is fresh, and your sauces are prepared from scratch—not reheated from bulk containers.
On event day, we coordinate delivery timing with your schedule and can provide full-service setup if needed. Our upstairs dining room can accommodate up to 45 guests for sit-down events, or we’ll bring the complete Tartufo experience to your chosen Ashland venue. You focus on enjoying your guests while we handle every culinary detail.

Your Tartufo catering package includes everything needed for an authentic Italian dining experience in Ashland. We provide made-to-order pasta dishes, fresh seafood specialties, signature appetizers like our famous Grilled Calamari, and traditional Italian desserts. Every dish uses organic meats, fresh vegetables, and natural ingredients.
Ashland’s diverse event venues—from corporate offices to private homes to community centers—each present unique logistical considerations. We’ve catered events throughout the MetroWest area and understand how to adapt our service to different spaces and requirements. Whether you need drop-off service for a casual office lunch or full-service coordination for an elegant celebration, we adjust our approach accordingly.
Our beverage service includes wine selections from Italy and premium cocktail options. We can accommodate dietary restrictions, provide vegetarian options, and create custom presentations that match your event’s style. Setup, serving utensils, and cleanup coordination are all part of the service—you shouldn’t have to worry about the logistics when you’re hosting an important event.
We recommend booking your Ashland catering at least two weeks in advance, especially for weekend events or large gatherings. This gives us adequate time to plan your custom menu, source the freshest ingredients, and coordinate all logistics with your venue.
For corporate events or smaller gatherings with flexible timing, we can often accommodate shorter notice—sometimes as little as 48-72 hours. However, booking early ensures you get your preferred date and allows time for menu customization based on your specific needs and any dietary restrictions your guests may have.
During peak seasons like wedding season (May through October) or holiday periods, we suggest booking 4-6 weeks ahead to guarantee availability. This also gives you more time to refine menu details and discuss any special presentation requirements for your Ashland event.
Every Tartufo catering package includes made-to-order Italian dishes prepared with the same quality standards as our restaurant, plus all necessary serving utensils, warming equipment, and setup coordination. Your package includes your choice of authentic pasta dishes, fresh seafood options, signature appetizers, and traditional Italian sides.
We provide complete coordination services, meaning we handle timing, delivery logistics, and can arrange full-service setup at your Ashland venue. Our packages also include menu customization to accommodate dietary restrictions, vegetarian options, and special presentation requests. Wine and beverage service is available as an add-on.
Unlike many catering companies, we don’t use pre-made or reheated food. Everything is prepared fresh in our kitchen using organic meats, fresh vegetables, and authentic Italian ingredients. This approach takes more time but ensures your guests experience the same quality they’d receive dining at our Newton restaurant.
Absolutely. We work with dietary restrictions and special requests regularly, from gluten-free pasta options to vegetarian and vegan Italian dishes. Our kitchen is experienced in adapting traditional Italian recipes to meet various dietary needs without compromising authentic flavors.
Common accommodations include gluten-free pasta preparations, dairy-free sauces, vegetarian versions of classic dishes, and modifications for food allergies. We recommend discussing any dietary needs during your initial consultation so we can plan appropriate alternatives and ensure safe food preparation.
For Ashland events with mixed dietary requirements, we often create combination menus that offer both traditional and modified options. This way, all your guests can enjoy authentic Italian flavors regardless of their dietary restrictions. We’re also happy to provide ingredient lists and preparation details for guests with severe allergies.
We cater events ranging from intimate business lunches for 10 people to large celebrations for up to 200 guests throughout the Ashland area. Our upstairs dining room at the Newton location can accommodate up to 45 guests for seated events or 55 for cocktail-style gatherings if you prefer to host at our restaurant.
For larger Ashland events, we provide full off-site catering with delivery, setup, and service coordination. We’ve successfully catered corporate functions, wedding receptions, family celebrations, and community events of various sizes. Our kitchen capacity and staffing allow us to handle substantial orders without compromising food quality.
Smaller events receive the same attention to detail as larger ones. Whether you’re planning a 15-person office lunch or a 100-guest wedding reception in Ashland, we customize our service level to match your event’s needs and ensure every guest enjoys an exceptional Italian dining experience.
Our Ashland catering pricing is based on your custom menu selection, guest count, and service level required. We provide detailed quotes after discussing your specific needs, venue requirements, and any special requests. This approach ensures you pay for exactly what you need rather than inflexible package pricing.
Factors affecting pricing include menu complexity, whether you need full-service setup and coordination, distance from our Newton location, and any special dietary accommodations. We’re transparent about all costs upfront, including delivery fees, service charges, and any additional equipment rental if needed.
We work with various budgets and can suggest menu modifications to meet your financial requirements without sacrificing quality. Many clients find our made-to-order approach provides better value than mass-produced catering because guests receive restaurant-quality food that creates a memorable experience worth the investment.
