The space is intimate for toasts, spacious for mingling, and elegant enough to honor your announcement.

How many guests can Tartufo accommodate?

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We specialize in creating custom menus tailored to your celebration and guests’ needs. Our chefs use organic ingredients and accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary requirements without compromising flavor or presentation. During consultation, we discuss allergies, preferences, or special requests. Themed menus or meaningful dishes can be incorporated, making your party menu personal and memorable while ensuring every guest enjoys an exceptional dining experience.

What's included in the party package?

Your engagement party package includes exclusive use of our private upstairs dining room, dedicated servers focused on your event, and coordination from our experienced team.

Additional touches like personalized menu cards, special lighting, and coordination with entertainment or speeches are included. We handle logistics so you can focus entirely on celebrating with your loved ones in comfort and style.

How far in advance should we book our party?

We recommend booking your engagement party 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for weekends or peak seasons like spring and fall. This allows us to coordinate your custom menu, staff availability, and special arrangements. We understand engagements can happen quickly, so we try to accommodate shorter notice when possible. Early booking also gives flexibility in choosing dates and time for menu tastings, ensuring your celebration is planned flawlessly.

What makes Tartufo different?

Tartufo combines award-winning Italian cuisine with genuine private dining intimacy. Unlike venues that section off part of a main dining room, our upstairs space is completely separate, keeping celebrations personal and uninterrupted. With a 20-year reputation in Newton Centre, we make milestone moments special. From custom menu creation to seamless service, our attention to detail ensures your engagement announcement feels effortless, elegant, and memorable.

Can we bring our own decorations or entertainment?

We welcome personal touches that make your engagement party uniquely yours. Our private dining room accommodates decorations and entertainment, from musicians to special presentations. We coordinate timing and setup to ensure smooth service. Couples often bring engagement photos, centerpieces, or meaningful décor that tell their love story. Our team works in advance to understand your plans while maintaining Tartufo’s elegant atmosphere for a truly special celebration.
