    The restaurant was overbooked and we were not even seated. The hostess told me that the estimated wait time was 10-15 minutes when I checked in with her and she said that I was going to be receiving a text when the table was ready. I never received a text and after 2 hours, I got an email saying my reservation was cancelled. Ridiculous!

    La comida es muy buena en este restaurante, la ensalada con langosta estuvo muy buena y se sirve fría lo que me encantó, el plato principal fue el salmón y el ravioli relleno con langosta dónde estuvo delicioso. La única queja sería que al haber en un día tan señalado tanta gente el camarero apenas atendía como debía haberlo hecho ( creo que ese día le tocaba al camarero filipino aunque cada vez venía alguien diferente). Pero por el resto, me encanta este sitio para pasar una velada increíble, incluso al llegar algo más temprano de nuestra reserva, nos ofrecieron una copa de champaña al principio mientras esperábamos. Sin lugar a dudas volveré al restaurante. Lo recomiendo totalmente!. Gracias 🌺

    Great food, but not great service. Our waiter was wonderful. Other servers not so pleasant. thru brought out the wrong appetizer and pushed back when we said it wasn’t what we ordered. We knew what we ordered and the waiter corrected them. Another spilled water on my plate while refilling glasses and didn’t offer me a new one. Then there were the hostesses, who sat us near the door which, despite the restaurants efforts was very drafty. When we asked to be moved (other tables were open at this point), we were told no because they had reservations. Well, we did too so I guess our party of four just didn’t rate. This is the second time I have dined here and both times I left with the feeling “how arrogant”. With so many welcoming Italian restaurants in the Boston area, I’m not so sure we will be back.

    Delightful place. Soft live saxophone music the night we dined and it was not too loud. Nice Italian menu. Food delicious and portions just right. Staff were attentive, yet not obtrusive and didn't rush us. It's one of our favorites when in the area and why we keep coming back.

    Tuesday night Tartufo has a live Saxophonist! The music added to the already lovely ambiance. The food was outstanding and the service was over the top! Enrique was knowledgeable, attentive, patient and so very kind! Thank you for a lovely evening!

    Tartuffo is great. Four of us dined there last night and all commented on the quality of food and service as well as the reasonable ness of the price. We’re lucky to have it so close to home. I enjoyed the raviolli with meatball, sausage and mushrooms in a sweet red sauce. The four of us devoured the desserts which were profiteroles and the limoncello cake. Maybe downed in two minutes! Service was really exceptional even though the place was packed. We had two baskets of their Italian bread with butter. Warm and free.
