Since 2004, Tartufo has been the place Newton residents turn to when their celebration matters. We’re the award-winning Italian restaurant that understands the difference between serving food and creating an experience.
Our founder Anna Mountzuris built this restaurant on authentic Abruzzese traditions, bringing the flavors of Italy’s coast to Newton Centre. We hire chefs from the Abruzzo region because authenticity isn’t negotiable when your event is on the line.

While others travel to Boston’s North End, you get the same caliber of Italian cuisine just minutes from home, with parking and the personal attention that comes from being part of this community for over two decades.
First, we’ll discuss your event details and guest count. Our second-floor private dining room handles up to 45 seated guests or 55 for cocktail-style events, with a full-service bar included.
Next, we create a custom menu tailored specifically to your needs and preferences. Whether it’s our signature veal chop, fresh seafood, or accommodating dietary restrictions, every dish reflects our authentic Italian standards.
Finally, we coordinate the details so you can focus on your guests. From the moment they arrive until the last goodbye, our team handles service, timing, and atmosphere. You get to be present for your own celebration while we ensure everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes.

Our second-floor private dining room accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dining service. For cocktail-style functions, we can host up to 55 people comfortably.
The space includes a full-service bar and elegant atmosphere with white tablecloths and proper table settings. We’ve designed this room specifically for private events, so you get dedicated space that’s separate from our main dining room.
Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration for 15 people or a larger corporate function approaching our maximum capacity, the room provides the right setting for meaningful conversations and memorable moments.
Absolutely. We create custom menus tailored specifically to your event’s needs, including accommodating dietary restrictions and food allergies.
Our chefs work directly with you to understand what your guests need, whether that’s gluten-free options, vegetarian selections, or specific cultural preferences. We have a strict allergy protocol and can serve most items gluten-free when needed.
Since we prepare everything from scratch using authentic Italian ingredients, we have the flexibility to modify dishes or create entirely new options that fit your requirements. This isn’t about working around limitations—it’s about ensuring every guest feels welcomed and well-fed.
Your private event includes exclusive use of our second-floor dining room, full-service bar access, and dedicated staff for the duration of your event.
We provide complete table settings with white tablecloths, stemware, and elegant presentation. The space comes with its own atmosphere—separate from our main dining room so your group can celebrate without outside distractions.
Most importantly, you get our event coordination services. We handle timing, service flow, and all the details that make events run smoothly. You also get custom menu creation, where we work with you to design food options that match your celebration and accommodate your guests’ preferences.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance for most private events, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on availability.
Popular dates like weekends, holidays, and graduation season tend to fill up faster, so earlier booking gives you better date selection. We only have one private dining room, which means when it’s booked, it’s unavailable.
The advance booking time also allows us to properly plan your custom menu, coordinate with our kitchen staff, and ensure we have everything needed for your specific event requirements. This planning time is what allows us to deliver the seamless experience our guests expect.
We provide comprehensive event coordination, not just venue rental. Our team works with you through the entire planning process to ensure your event runs smoothly.
This includes menu planning consultations, timing coordination, service flow management, and handling special requests or last-minute changes. We’ve been doing this for over twenty years, so we know which details make the difference between a good event and a memorable one.
You’re not just renting space and hoping for the best. You’re getting experienced professionals who understand how to make celebrations work. We handle the logistics so you can focus on enjoying time with your guests.
We’re the only restaurant in Newton specializing in authentic Abruzzese Italian cuisine with over twenty years of community presence. Our chefs come directly from the Abruzzo region of Italy, bringing genuine expertise you won’t find elsewhere locally.
Unlike generic event spaces, we’re a full-service restaurant first, which means professional kitchen capabilities, experienced service staff, and the infrastructure to handle everything from intimate dinners to larger celebrations seamlessly.
Most importantly, we’re your neighbors. We’ve been part of Newton Centre since 2004, understanding local expectations and building relationships with families who return for multiple celebrations over the years. When you choose us, you’re choosing proven reliability and personal attention that comes from being genuinely invested in this community.
