   The food and atmosphere were great. Especially the Mussels! The saxophone player was fantastic. Our server Hope was exceptional. The bartender named Tony made the best Espresso Martinis we've ever tasted.

   Everything was perfect for an early dinner on a Tuesday. We had a small table for 2 at the end of the bar, away from the front door and the cold air. Very comfortable. We shared several appetizers: meatballs, shrimp and crab cakes. Just delicious. The wine prices are very reasonable and the selections excellent. I can’t wait to come back!

   Had high hopes upon arrival. Hopes got crushed upon seating. Tables too close. Waiter banged me on the head with the water jug because tables were too tight and he was always trying to serve from the left which was impossible. Incredibly loud. Food took forever to arrive. Daughter’s meal had to be sent back—too cold. Came back with only half a portion of food. Not sure where the rest of the food went! Special was expensive. The list goes on.

   Food was great and drinks were as well. I had asked twice that they put a candle in my nephews dessert as it was his birthday. I asked when I booked it and I asked again when I got to the restaurant but they didn’t remember. I felt a little bad about that. The bathrooms (both) were out of supplies - paper towels and soap - otherwise it was a great meal and I would go back!

   Great experience at Tartufo. Our food was delicious. Limoncello cake, with its vibrant lemon essence and elegant complexity, has emerged as a standout dessert to complete our dining experience. Will be back.

   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.
