    Staff was so friendly and nice! The food was delicious and good portions! There was a mishap with the app allowing us to make a reservation before opening, but the staff handled it perfectly! They still let us seat and order food. We’re sorry for that by the way! But we appreciate the effort greatly!

    Slow and inattentive service. There were gnats flying around the dining room and in the bathroom. Had to swat them away while eating. Can only imagine what it was like in the kitchen. Food was mediocre and expensive for what it was.

    What a wonderful experience we had at Tartufo, it was our son's birthday and was made to feel very special. Mussels, grilled shrimp and lobster salad were delicious, we had the special options which was veal chop and lamp which were cooked perfectly. When it was time for happy birthday, our son was serenaded by the lovely saxaphone player who was there that evening. What made the whole evening was our server, he was fun, explained the menu, kept the cocktails flowing who couldn't have asked for a better time. Thank you - we will be back

    The staff at Tartufo were phenomenal - they went about and beyond to make my girlfriend’s birthday dinner a special experience for both of us. We can’t rave enough about them - the food was excellent too!

    Tartufos is becoming the place we go to when we want to be sure to have a good meal. Our chicken parms, gnocci, and Wow risotto were all good. Cocktails were good as well (I had the Godfather). On the downside, it gets pretty noisy when it is full (and no one likes the seat next to the outside door). On balance, it was wonderful.

    The food was so well prepared. Tasty, interesting, plentiful. The wines by the glass were generous and abundant. What more could anyone want?
