You deserve more than just another dinner out. When you choose authentic fine dining, you’re investing in moments that matter – the kind where conversation flows as smoothly as our carefully selected wines, where every bite tells a story of Italian tradition.
At Tartufo, you’ll discover what happens when genuine Abruzzese recipes meet the warmth of New England hospitality. Your evening transforms from routine to remarkable, whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, closing an important deal, or simply treating yourself to the exceptional experience you’ve earned.
The difference isn’t just in our homemade pasta or our signature Grilled Calamari – it’s in how you feel when you leave. Satisfied, appreciated, and already planning your return.
Since 2004, we’ve been Acton’s destination for authentic Italian fine dining. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our reputation on a simple promise: bringing the true flavors of Abruzzo and the Mediterranean to your table with the respect they deserve.
You won’t find shortcuts here. Our chefs prepare every dish to order using fresh, organic ingredients – many sourced locally to complement our traditional Italian techniques. This commitment to quality has earned us recognition as an award-winning restaurant and the loyalty of guests who return again and again.
Located in the heart of Acton, we understand what suburban families and professionals need: exceptional dining without the drive to Boston, intimate atmosphere without pretension, and service that makes every guest feel genuinely welcomed.
Your experience begins the moment you step through our doors. Our welcoming staff will seat you in our carefully designed dining room, where soft lighting and the gentle sounds of live saxophone jazz create the perfect backdrop for your meal.
Next, our knowledgeable servers guide you through our menu, helping you discover dishes that match your preferences and suggesting wine pairings that enhance every flavor. Whether you choose our signature Veal Chop or explore our homemade pasta selections, each dish arrives prepared to order using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Throughout your evening, our attentive team ensures your water glass stays full, your questions get answered, and your dining pace feels comfortable and unhurried. You’re not just eating – you’re experiencing the Italian tradition of taking time to savor both food and company.

Your fine dining experience extends beyond our dining room. Our full-service offerings include private event hosting in our upstairs dining room, accommodating up to 45 guests for intimate celebrations. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, anniversary dinner, or corporate gathering, our professional staff coordinates every detail.
For those special moments at home, our catering service brings Tartufo’s authentic flavors directly to your venue. From family gatherings to business meetings, we provide the same quality and attention to detail that defines our restaurant experience.
Acton residents particularly appreciate our convenient location and ample parking, making us easily accessible for both planned celebrations and spontaneous date nights. Our full-service bar complements every meal with carefully selected wines and expertly crafted cocktails, ensuring your evening feels complete from appetizer to dessert.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese and Mediterranean cuisine, which sets us apart from typical Italian-American restaurants. Our founder Anna Mountzuris developed our concept around traditional recipes and techniques from these specific regions of Italy, using organic meats, fish, and vegetables prepared in the authentic Italian tradition.
We’ve been serving Acton since 2004, building relationships with local families and establishing ourselves as the area’s premier destination for special occasion dining. Our live saxophone jazz music, intimate candlelit atmosphere, and made-to-order approach create an experience you simply can’t find at chain restaurants or casual dining establishments.
Most importantly, we understand that fine dining means more than just expensive food – it’s about creating memories worth celebrating, which is why we focus on genuine hospitality and attention to detail in every aspect of your visit.
Absolutely. Since we prepare everything to order using fresh ingredients, we can accommodate most dietary restrictions and food allergies with advance notice. Our kitchen team is experienced in modifying dishes while maintaining their authentic flavors and presentation.
We offer gluten-free pasta options with our award-winning sauces, and our chefs can prepare dishes without specific allergens when you inform us during your reservation or upon arrival. For more complex dietary needs, we recommend calling ahead so our kitchen can plan appropriately.
Our commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients actually makes it easier to accommodate special requests compared to restaurants that rely on pre-prepared items. We want every guest to enjoy their dining experience fully, regardless of dietary considerations.
As a fine dining establishment, our prices reflect the quality of ingredients, preparation methods, and service level we provide. Most entrees range from the mid-twenties to mid-thirties, with our signature dishes like the Veal Chop positioned at the higher end of our range.
When you consider the portion sizes, quality of ingredients, and overall dining experience – including our live music, attentive service, and intimate atmosphere – most guests find excellent value. Many of our entrees are generous enough to provide leftovers for the next day’s lunch.
We also offer wine selections at various price points, allowing you to enhance your meal within your comfort zone. For special occasions, we can recommend wine pairings that elevate your entire dining experience without breaking your budget.
For regular dining, we recommend booking at least a few days in advance, especially for weekend evenings when we tend to fill up quickly. Friday and Saturday nights are our busiest times, so a week’s notice ensures you get your preferred seating time.
For special occasions or if you need our private dining room, we suggest calling two to three weeks ahead. Holiday periods like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and New Year’s Eve require even earlier planning – sometimes six to eight weeks in advance.
That said, we always try to accommodate walk-ins when possible, and sometimes we have last-minute cancellations that open up prime time slots. If you’re planning something spontaneous, it’s worth calling to check availability even on the same day.
Our catering brings the same authentic Abruzzese cuisine and attention to detail that defines our restaurant experience directly to your event. Unlike typical catering companies that focus on quantity over quality, we prepare everything using the same fresh ingredients and traditional techniques you’d experience dining with us.
We handle events ranging from intimate family gatherings to corporate functions, always maintaining our commitment to made-to-order preparation rather than mass-produced food that sits under heat lamps. Our team coordinates with you to create custom menus that reflect both your preferences and our culinary expertise.
Most importantly, our catering includes the same level of professional service our restaurant guests expect. We don’t just drop off food – we ensure your event runs smoothly so you can focus on enjoying time with your guests while we handle the culinary details.
Absolutely. Our sophisticated atmosphere, attentive service, and quiet ambiance make us ideal for business meals where conversation and relationship-building are priorities. Many Acton professionals choose us for client dinners, celebration meals, and important business discussions.
Our dining room provides enough space between tables for private conversations, and our staff understands the importance of professional dining etiquette. We can coordinate timing to match your meeting needs and provide discreet service that supports rather than interrupts your business discussions.
For larger business events, our private dining room accommodates up to 45 people and includes full bar service. We work with you to create an impressive experience that reflects well on your business while ensuring every detail meets professional standards.
