Family celebrations become the gatherings people talk about years later, where every dish tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship.

Tartufo has been the go-to catering restaurant for discerning Lexington families and businesses since our founding in 2004. We bring authentic Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region directly to your events, using recipes and techniques passed down through generations.
Our founder Anna Mountzuris built Tartufo on a simple principle: use only the finest organic ingredients and prepare everything from scratch, just as it’s done in the Mediterranean tradition. We hire chefs directly from the Abruzzo region to ensure every dish maintains its authentic character.
Lexington’s affluent, multicultural community appreciates quality, and we’ve earned our reputation by consistently delivering it. From corporate functions at local tech companies to milestone celebrations in beautiful Lexington homes, we understand what this community values—excellence without compromise, authentic flavors that bring people together, and service that makes hosting effortless.
Your catering experience starts with a conversation about your vision. We listen to understand your event’s purpose, your guests’ preferences, and any special requirements you might have. Whether you’re planning an intimate board meeting for twelve or a wedding celebration for fifty, we tailor our approach to match your needs.
Next, we create a custom menu that showcases our signature dishes while accommodating your specific requests. Our chefs prepare everything fresh using our time-tested recipes—from our famous grilled calamari to our house-made pasta and signature veal chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese.
On event day, our professional team handles setup, service, and cleanup with the same attention to detail we bring to our award-winning restaurant. You get to enjoy your own event while we ensure every guest experiences the authentic Italian hospitality that has made Tartufo a trusted name in the Newton area for over two decades.
