You deserve more than just dinner—you deserve an experience that lingers long after the last bite. At Tartufo, every dish tells the story of authentic Abruzzese tradition, from our signature truffle specialties to handcrafted pasta made fresh daily.
Your evenings transform into celebrations worth remembering. Whether marking an anniversary, closing a business deal, or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary, you’ll discover why discerning diners choose Tartufo for their most important moments.
The difference lies in details you’ll notice immediately: the warmth of live saxophone jazz, the careful presentation of each course, and the genuine hospitality that makes you feel truly welcomed rather than just served.
Since 2004, we’ve been Westford’s destination for authentic Italian fine dining, bringing the rich culinary traditions of Italy’s Abruzzo region directly to your table. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, our restaurant represents more than two decades of unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.
We’ve built our reputation by doing what many restaurants only claim to do: sourcing the finest organic ingredients, hiring chefs trained in traditional Abruzzese techniques, and creating dishes that honor centuries-old recipes. Our truffle specialties, named after the rare mushrooms found only in the Abruzzo region, showcase the depth of flavor that sets genuine Italian cuisine apart from imitations.
Westford families have trusted us with their most precious celebrations for over 20 years. From intimate date nights to milestone anniversaries, we understand that great dining isn’t just about food—it’s about creating moments that matter.
Your Tartufo experience begins the moment you make your reservation, ensuring your preferred seating and timing for the perfect evening. Upon arrival, you’ll choose between our elegant upstairs dining room with its chandeliers and golden drapes, or our newly renovated downstairs space featuring modern sophistication.
Our service team guides you through our carefully curated menu, explaining the heritage behind each dish and helping you discover new favorites. Every plate arrives precisely timed, allowing you to savor each course without feeling rushed or forgotten.
The magic happens in our kitchen, where our Abruzzo-trained chefs prepare each dish to order using techniques passed down through generations. From hand-rolled pasta to perfectly grilled seafood, you’ll taste the difference that authentic preparation makes. Your meal concludes with our selection of traditional Italian desserts and premium wines, leaving you completely satisfied and already planning your return.

Your Tartufo experience extends far beyond our regular dinner service. Our private upstairs dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail receptions, making us Westford’s premier venue for business gatherings, wedding celebrations, and family milestones.
Westford’s busy professionals appreciate our full catering services, bringing Tartufo’s exceptional cuisine directly to your office or home event. We handle everything from menu planning to service coordination, ensuring your gathering reflects the same quality and attention to detail you’d expect from dining in our restaurant.
Our location serves the entire Westford area, including nearby Chelmsford, Littleton, and Acton, providing convenient access to authentic fine dining without the drive to Boston. Local wine enthusiasts particularly value our carefully selected Italian and domestic wine list, featuring both familiar favorites and rare selections you won’t find elsewhere in the area. We also offer gift certificates, perfect for introducing friends and family to Westford’s finest Italian dining experience.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine, a distinct regional Italian style rarely found in Massachusetts. Unlike typical Italian-American restaurants, we focus on the coastal traditions of Italy’s Abruzzo region, featuring extensive seafood preparations and our signature truffle dishes.
Our chefs are trained in traditional Abruzzese techniques, many with direct experience from the region itself. This means you’re experiencing genuine Italian flavors rather than Americanized versions. We’ve maintained this authenticity for over 20 years, making us the only restaurant in the Westford area offering this level of regional Italian specialization.
Additionally, our commitment to made-to-order preparation using organic, all-natural ingredients ensures every dish meets fine dining standards. You’ll notice the difference immediately in both flavor complexity and presentation quality.
Absolutely. Our kitchen staff is experienced in accommodating various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and specific food allergies. Because we prepare everything to order rather than using pre-made components, we have the flexibility to modify dishes according to your needs.
We recommend informing us of any dietary restrictions when making your reservation, allowing our chefs to prepare appropriately and suggest the best menu options for your specific requirements. Our staff can walk you through ingredients in any dish and recommend modifications that maintain the authentic flavors you’re seeking.
For guests with severe allergies, we take extra precautions in our kitchen preparation to prevent cross-contamination. Our goal is ensuring every guest enjoys a safe, delicious dining experience regardless of dietary limitations.
Our pricing reflects the quality of ingredients, preparation methods, and service level you’d expect from authentic fine dining. Our entrées typically range from the mid-$20s to mid-$40s, with specialty dishes featuring premium ingredients priced accordingly.
Most guests find our portions generous enough to share appetizers or take home leftovers, making the value proposition quite reasonable for the quality received. When you factor in the cost and time of driving to Boston’s North End for comparable authentic Italian cuisine, dining locally at Tartufo often proves more economical.
We also offer wine selections at various price points, allowing you to enhance your meal within your comfort zone. Many guests discover that a complete dinner for two, including appetizers and wine, costs less than similar experiences in Boston while providing superior convenience and personalized service.
For weekend dinners and special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or New Year’s Eve, we recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance. Our upstairs dining room and preferred seating times fill quickly, especially during Westford’s peak dining seasons.
Weeknight reservations typically require less advance notice, often available with just a few days’ planning. However, if you have specific seating preferences or need our private dining room for celebrations, earlier booking ensures you get exactly what you’re envisioning for your special evening.
For large parties or private events, contact us at least a month ahead to discuss menu options and room setup. We work closely with you to coordinate every detail, from customized menus to special decorations, ensuring your celebration exceeds expectations.
Our Newton location puts us within easy driving distance of Westford, Chelmsford, Littleton, Acton, and surrounding communities—typically 20-30 minutes depending on your starting point. This saves you the hour-plus drive into Boston’s congested North End while providing the same level of authentic Italian fine dining.
Parking is never an issue at our location, unlike downtown Boston restaurants where finding and paying for parking can add stress and expense to your evening. We’re easily accessible from Route 495 and other major highways serving the Westford area.
Many of our regular guests appreciate avoiding Boston’s traffic and parking challenges while still accessing premium dining experiences. You can enjoy a leisurely evening without worrying about late-night city driving or expensive parking fees, making your special occasions more relaxing and enjoyable.
Yes, we regularly feature live saxophone jazz music, creating the perfect romantic ambiance for date nights and special celebrations. The music adds sophistication without overwhelming conversation, striking the ideal balance for intimate dining experiences.
Our restaurant offers two distinct atmospheres to match your preference. The upstairs dining room features elegant chandeliers, large windows with golden drapes, and a more formal fine dining environment perfect for special occasions. Our newly renovated downstairs area provides modern sophistication with an expansive bar area and contemporary décor.
Both spaces maintain the warm, inviting atmosphere that makes Tartufo feel like a special retreat from everyday dining. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary upstairs or enjoying drinks and dinner downstairs, you’ll find the ambiance enhances rather than distracts from your dining experience. The live music schedule varies, so mention your preference when making reservations.
