Authentic Italian Restaurant Concord

Twenty Years of Getting It Right

Since 2004, we’ve earned our reputation as Concord’s most authentic Italian restaurant. Anna Mountzuris founded our restaurant with a simple mission: bring genuine Abruzzese tradition to Massachusetts families who know the difference between real Italian food and mass-produced imitations.

We hire chefs trained in Italy’s Abruzzo region because authenticity matters. We source organic meats, fresh seafood, and imported ingredients because shortcuts show up on your plate. We’ve maintained our 4.5-star reputation for nearly two decades because consistency builds trust.

Concord residents choose us when the occasion matters – anniversaries, celebrations, and those nights when only genuine Italian hospitality will do.

What makes Tartufo's Italian food different from other restaurants in Concord?

After nearly twenty years in Concord, our reputation speaks for itself. When local residents want authentic Italian food for special occasions, they choose us because the difference is immediately apparent in every bite.
