You’re tired of settling for ordinary dinners when you want to celebrate something special. The drive to Boston feels overwhelming, and local options leave you disappointed. You deserve better.
At Tartufo, your evening transforms the moment you step through our doors. Our signature veal chop, prepared by chefs trained in Italy’s Abruzzo region, delivers flavors you simply can’t find anywhere else in Hopkinton, MA. The rare truffle mushrooms we import from Italian hillsides create an authenticity that turns dinner into an experience worth remembering.
Your guests notice immediately – elegant chandeliers casting warm light, live saxophone jazz setting the perfect mood, and service that anticipates your needs without hovering. This is what nearly two decades of fine dining excellence looks like when it meets your desire for something truly special.
Since 2004, we’ve earned our reputation as Hopkinton’s premier destination for authentic Italian fine dining. We’ve built trust through consistency – the same commitment to genuine Abruzzo regional cuisine, the same attention to detail that makes your evening memorable.
Anna Mountzuris founded Tartufo with a simple vision: bring the warmth and authenticity of Italian coastal dining to Massachusetts families who deserve exceptional experiences without the hassle of city travel. That vision guides every decision we make, from hiring chefs trained in Italy to sourcing rare ingredients that create flavors you won’t find elsewhere.
Hopkinton residents have made us part of their most important celebrations for nearly twenty years. We understand what matters to you – quality you can count on, service that feels genuine, and an atmosphere that makes every occasion feel special.
Your experience begins when you call for reservations – we recommend booking ahead, especially for weekends and special occasions. You’ll choose between our elegant upstairs dining room with sophisticated chandeliers and panoramic windows, or our newly renovated downstairs space featuring an expansive bar and intimate settings.
Our team guides you through authentic Abruzzo specialties, helping pair the perfect wine with dishes like our renowned lobster ravioli or signature grilled calamari. Everything is prepared to order using the freshest ingredients and traditional techniques passed down through generations.
The evening flows naturally – warm bread service, perfectly timed courses, and attentive service that never feels rushed. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or hosting business colleagues, we handle every detail so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your time with the people you care about.

Your fine dining restaurant experience includes our full-service bar with carefully curated wines, craft cocktails, and premium spirits. Live saxophone performances on select evenings provide the perfect soundtrack without overwhelming conversation – something you’ll appreciate during intimate dinners or important business meals.
For Hopkinton residents and visitors from Newton, Framingham, and Westborough, we eliminate the stress of city dining while delivering the same quality you’d expect from Boston’s North End. Our private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for celebrations, corporate events, or family gatherings that deserve special attention.
We also bring our expertise to your location through comprehensive catering services. From wedding receptions to business meetings, our team handles every detail while you focus on your guests. As part of the Hopkinton community for nearly two decades, we understand what local families and businesses need – reliability, quality, and service that exceeds expectations every time.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzo regional cuisine – not the typical Italian-American dishes you’ll find elsewhere. Our chefs train in Italy’s Abruzzo region, and we import rare truffle mushrooms found only in that coastal area. This means dishes like pappardelle al tartufo and our signature veal chop offer flavors you simply cannot experience anywhere else in the Hopkinton area.
We’ve served this community since 2004, building relationships and perfecting our craft for nearly two decades. Our dual-level space features elegant upstairs dining with chandeliers and golden drapes, plus a newly renovated downstairs area with an expansive bar. The combination of authentic regional cuisine, Italian-trained chefs, and sophisticated atmosphere delivers fine dining restaurant quality that rivals Boston’s North End without the travel hassle.
Absolutely. Since we prepare everything to order using fresh, high-quality ingredients, our chefs easily modify traditional Abruzzo dishes for various dietary restrictions and allergies. We regularly create gluten-free pasta options, dairy-free preparations, and vegetarian versions of signature dishes.
Simply mention any dietary restrictions when making your reservation, and our kitchen staff will ensure a safe, delicious experience. Our servers know every ingredient in each dish and can guide you through menu options that meet your specific needs. We believe everyone deserves to enjoy authentic Italian fine dining, regardless of dietary limitations – and our flexibility makes that possible.
Fine dining represents an investment in a complete culinary experience, not just a meal. Our pricing reflects imported ingredients, expert preparation by Italian-trained chefs, and the elegant atmosphere we’ve created. Entrees typically range from the mid-twenties to mid-forties, with signature dishes like our bone-in veal chop and lobster preparations at the higher end.
Most guests discover excellent value in our generous portions, expert presentation, and attentive service. Many dishes provide enough for leftovers, extending your experience to the next day. For special occasions like anniversaries or celebrations, most couples invest between $100-150 total for a memorable evening including appetizers, entrees, wine, and dessert – comparable to Boston fine dining without the parking fees and travel time.
We strongly recommend reservations, especially for weekend evenings, holidays, and special occasions. For Friday and Saturday nights, booking one to two weeks ahead ensures your preferred time and seating area. Our upstairs dining room books quickly for romantic dinners and celebrations.
During peak seasons like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and holidays, we often fill up three to four weeks in advance. However, we accommodate walk-ins when possible, particularly for bar seating and early evening slots. If you’re planning last-minute, calling the same day sometimes works, especially weeknights. For private events or large parties, contact us at least a month ahead to guarantee availability in our private dining room.
We eliminate the hassle of driving to Boston’s North End for authentic Italian fine dining. We’re easily accessible from Hopkinton, Ashland, Framingham, Westborough, and surrounding MetroWest communities. Our Newton Centre location offers convenient parking and Green Line access at Newton Centre Station.
For Hopkinton residents, this means sophisticated dining just 20 minutes from home instead of dealing with Boston traffic, expensive parking, and city dining premiums. We’ve built strong community relationships over nearly twenty years, understanding exactly what area residents want from their fine dining restaurant experience. Many regular guests have celebrated with us for over a decade, bringing visiting family and friends to what they consider their neighborhood’s premier dining destination.
Yes, we specialize in making special occasions truly memorable. Our upstairs private dining room seats up to 45 guests for dinner or 55 for cocktail events. We’ve hosted intimate anniversary dinners, wedding receptions, corporate meetings, and milestone birthday celebrations.
Our events team creates custom menus featuring signature Abruzzo specialties, coordinates wine pairings, and handles every detail so you can focus on your guests. We arrange special touches like personalized menus, floral coordination, and live music. For larger events or off-site celebrations, our catering service delivers Tartufo quality directly to your venue. Many Hopkinton families have celebrated multiple generations of special moments with us because they trust us to exceed expectations every time.
