You walk in stressed about finding the perfect place for your anniversary dinner. You leave knowing you’ve discovered something special – a restaurant that actually understands what a meaningful evening should feel like.
The moment you taste our signature veal chop or fresh lobster ravioli, you realize this isn’t just dinner. It’s the kind of experience that makes your guests ask where you found this place. The kind that turns a regular Tuesday into something worth remembering.
No more settling for mediocre meals when you need to impress. No more wondering if the service will match the occasion. Just authentic Italian flavors, attentive hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes every celebration feel as important as it actually is.
Since 2004, we’ve been serving the greater Pepperell area with authentic Abruzzese cuisine that you simply can’t find anywhere else locally. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we bring genuine Italian coastal traditions to Massachusetts, often hiring chefs directly from the Abruzzo region.
What makes us different isn’t just our award-winning reputation or our 4.5-star reviews. It’s our commitment to doing things the right way – every dish made to order, every ingredient carefully selected, every detail designed to create the kind of dining experience Pepperell residents deserve without the drive to Boston.
For nearly twenty years, families throughout Pepperell have trusted us with their most important celebrations. That’s not something you earn overnight – it’s something you build one perfectly prepared meal at a time.
Your experience begins the moment you make your reservation – we recommend booking ahead, especially for weekends and special occasions. When you arrive, you’ll choose between our elegant upstairs dining room with its chandeliers and intimate atmosphere, or our newly renovated downstairs space with its expansive bar and modern touches.
Start with our complimentary warm bread while you browse our menu of authentic Abruzzese specialties. Our servers know every dish intimately and can guide you toward options that match your preferences, whether you’re craving our famous grilled calamari or our signature truffle dishes.
Each entrée is prepared to order using the freshest ingredients, from our homemade pasta to our locally sourced seafood. On select evenings, live saxophone jazz adds to the ambiance. And if you’re celebrating something special, let us know – we believe every milestone deserves proper recognition.

Your fine dining experience includes far more than exceptional food. You’ll enjoy attentive service from staff who understand that timing matters – especially when you’re celebrating an anniversary or hosting important guests. Our extensive wine list features carefully selected bottles that complement our Mediterranean-inspired menu perfectly.
For larger celebrations, our second-floor private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail events. We handle the coordination so you can focus on your guests, not the logistics. Many Pepperell area families choose us for milestone birthdays, graduations, and business dinners because they know we’ll handle every detail.
The atmosphere adapts to your needs – intimate corner tables for romantic evenings, larger spaces for family gatherings, and our bar area for more casual celebrations. Whatever brings you here, you’ll leave with the kind of memories that make special occasions truly special.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region, featuring dishes you won’t find at typical Italian-American restaurants. Our name comes from the rare truffle mushrooms found only in Abruzzo, which we incorporate into signature dishes like our famous veal chop and pappardelle al tartufo.
We often hire chefs directly from the Abruzzo region to ensure authenticity, and we’ve been perfecting our craft for nearly two decades. Unlike chain restaurants or casual Italian spots, we focus exclusively on fine dining experiences – every dish is made to order using premium ingredients, and our service standards match what you’d expect from Boston’s top restaurants, right here in your backyard.
The combination of genuine regional Italian cuisine, award-winning quality, and nearly twenty years of serving the Pepperell community creates an experience you simply can’t get anywhere else locally.
Absolutely. Our chefs prepare every dish to order, which gives us the flexibility to accommodate most dietary restrictions and food allergies. We work with gluten-free requirements, vegetarian preferences, and various food allergies regularly – just let your server know when you arrive or mention it when making your reservation.
Since we make our pasta fresh and prepare our sauces in-house, we can often modify dishes to meet your specific needs without compromising flavor. Our kitchen staff takes allergies seriously and follows strict protocols to prevent cross-contamination when necessary.
We recommend calling ahead for complex dietary requirements so we can discuss options and ensure our kitchen is properly prepared. Our goal is making sure everyone at your table enjoys an exceptional dining experience, regardless of dietary restrictions.
Our pricing reflects the premium ingredients, made-to-order preparation, and fine dining service you’ll experience. Entrées typically range from the mid-twenties to mid-forties, with our signature dishes like the bone-in veal chop at the higher end due to the quality of ingredients involved.
Most guests find our portions generous – many take home leftovers to enjoy the next day. When you factor in the quality of ingredients, the authentic preparation methods, and the level of service, our pricing is competitive with other fine dining establishments in the greater Boston area, but more convenient than driving into the city.
We also offer different dining options to fit various budgets – our bar menu features lighter fare at more accessible price points, and lunch service typically offers lower prices than dinner. Many guests find that the experience and quality justify the investment, especially for special occasions where you want everything to be perfect.
Yes, we specialize in making special events memorable. Our second-floor private dining room accommodates up to 45 people for seated dinners and up to 55 for cocktail-style events, complete with a full-service bar and elegant atmosphere.
We’ve hosted everything from milestone birthday celebrations and anniversary parties to business dinners and graduation celebrations. Our team handles the coordination and planning, working with you to create custom menus that fit your event and budget. We can arrange special touches like personalized menus, wine pairings, and even coordinate with the live jazz music for the perfect ambiance.
For smaller groups of 6-12 people, we can often arrange semi-private seating in our main dining room. We recommend booking private events well in advance, especially during busy seasons like holidays and graduation time, to ensure availability and proper planning.
We strongly recommend making reservations, especially for weekend dinners, special occasions, or larger parties. You can call us directly, and our staff can help you choose the best seating option for your needs – whether you prefer the elegant upstairs dining room or our renovated downstairs space with bar seating.
When making your reservation, let us know if you’re celebrating something special so we can make appropriate arrangements. Also mention any dietary restrictions or seating preferences – like a quiet corner table for an intimate dinner or a spot near the jazz musician on performance nights.
For same-day reservations, calling is your best bet, especially during busy periods. We do accommodate walk-ins when possible, but during peak dining times and weekends, having a reservation ensures you won’t have to wait and guarantees you’ll get the dining experience you’re planning for.
Twenty years of experience has taught us what makes celebrations truly special. It’s not just the food – though our award-winning cuisine and signature dishes certainly create memorable moments. It’s the attention to details that matter: timing your courses perfectly, recognizing when a table is celebrating something important, and creating an atmosphere that makes the evening feel as significant as the occasion itself.
Our elegant dining rooms, live jazz music on select evenings, and sophisticated ambiance provide the perfect backdrop for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, graduations, and romantic dinners. We’ve seen marriage proposals, anniversary celebrations, and family reunions – we know how to make these moments special.
The combination of exceptional food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality creates the kind of experience that becomes part of your celebration story. Many families return year after year for their important occasions because they know we’ll make it memorable every time.
