You’re planning something important. The last thing you need is generic catering that leaves your guests wondering why they bothered showing up.
We bring nearly two decades of authentic Italian expertise to Lincoln events. We’re talking about the same award-winning Abruzzese cuisine that’s been impressing Newton Centre diners since 2004—homemade pasta, fresh seafood, signature dishes that actually taste like they came from Italy.
Your guests will notice the difference immediately. Real ingredients, authentic preparation, and the kind of attention to detail that makes people remember your event for the right reasons.
Tartufo isn’t another catering company trying to do everything for everyone. We’re an award-winning Italian restaurant that happens to cater events—and there’s a big difference.
Founded by Anna Mountzuris with a clear vision: authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean cuisine using organic meats, fresh fish, vegetables, and house-baked bread. We even hire chefs directly from the Abruzzo region because authenticity isn’t something you can fake.
Lincoln residents have been driving to our Newton Centre location for years because we offer something you can’t get everywhere else—real Italian food that doesn’t compromise on quality or tradition.
First, we talk. Not a sales pitch—an actual conversation about what you’re trying to accomplish and who you’re feeding. Corporate lunch? Wedding reception? Family celebration? Each event has different needs.
Next, we create a custom menu that fits your event, your budget, and any dietary restrictions your guests might have. Everything’s made to order in our kitchen using the same standards we maintain for our restaurant guests.
Finally, we coordinate the logistics and deliver professional service that lets you focus on your guests instead of worrying about whether the food will show up on time and taste right. Because it will.

Full-service catering that includes menu planning, professional coordination, and the kind of authentic Italian cuisine that makes Lincoln events memorable. We handle everything from intimate gatherings to corporate functions up to 55 people.
Our upstairs private dining room comes with a full-service bar and accommodates up to 45 people for sit-down service. For cocktail events, we can handle 55 guests comfortably. Custom menus are created for each event—whether you want traditional favorites or something more adventurous.
Our Lincoln location makes us more accessible than driving into Boston’s North End, but you’re still getting the same level of authenticity and quality that’s earned us a 4.5-star reputation over nearly two decades in business.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance for most events, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and the size of your event. Larger events or those during busy seasons (holidays, wedding season) should be booked 4-6 weeks ahead.
The earlier you book, the more time we have to work with you on menu customization and handle any special dietary requirements your guests might have. We’ve found that the planning process goes much smoother when we’re not rushed, and you get better results.
Yes, absolutely. We work with dietary restrictions all the time—gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, food allergies, you name it. The key is letting us know about these requirements when we’re planning your menu, not the day of the event.
We prepare dishes to order, so we can modify recipes or create separate dishes that meet specific dietary needs. Our chefs are experienced with cross-contamination protocols for serious allergies. Just be upfront about what your guests need, and we’ll make sure they have options that actually taste good, not just something that technically meets their restrictions.
Full event coordination, custom menu planning, professional setup and service, and cleanup. If you’re using our private dining room, that includes access to our full-service bar and all the table settings and service ware you need.
For off-site catering, we bring everything required to serve your event properly—serving dishes, utensils, napkins, the works. We also coordinate timing so everything arrives hot and ready when you need it. You’re not just getting food dropped off; you’re getting professional catering service that handles the logistics so you can focus on your guests.
Pricing depends on several factors: the size of your group, the menu you choose, the level of service you need, and whether you’re using our private dining room or having us cater off-site. We don’t do one-size-fits-all pricing because every event is different.
We’ll give you a detailed quote after we discuss your specific needs and menu preferences. No hidden fees or surprise charges—everything is laid out clearly upfront. Most clients find our pricing competitive with other quality catering options in the Lincoln area, especially considering the level of authenticity and service you’re getting.
Yes, corporate catering is a big part of what we do. We handle everything from working lunches and client dinners to larger corporate celebrations and holiday parties. Business clients appreciate that we can deliver professional service without the generic corporate catering food that everyone’s tired of.
We understand that corporate events have different requirements—timing is usually more critical, dietary restrictions need to be handled diplomatically, and the food needs to make a good impression on clients or employees. We’ve been doing this long enough to handle the logistics smoothly while delivering food that actually enhances your business event.
We’re not a catering company that happens to make Italian food—we’re an award-winning Italian restaurant that also caters events. That means you’re getting the same authentic Abruzzese cuisine and quality standards that have kept our Newton Centre location busy for nearly two decades.
Our chefs are trained in traditional Italian techniques, many hired directly from the Abruzzo region. We use organic meats, fresh seafood, and make our pasta and bread in-house. Most catering companies can’t match that level of authenticity and quality because they’re trying to do too many different cuisines. We focus on doing Italian food right, and it shows in the results.
