on Citysearch Apr 05, 2010This restaurant is outright offensive!! If you order wine- especially the super Tuscan selection- The servers are instructed to pour house wine. Grey goose martini? I hope you can tell the difference- because he... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2010Some food is OK, other is not up to standard. Price is most definitely overboard for what you get. Sitting close to bar is worst thing possible...noisy and obnoxious employees. Chief chef should also stop yelling in... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 14, 2008Mediocre food passed on as original Italian. It's OK, but definitely not worth the prices they list. As others have also said, the wines are a ripoff in price....3rd rate wines at premium prices. You can do just as well... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 26, 2008Il mangiare non e' veramente Italiano. Certo mangiare e' buono e certo fa schifo, ma tutto costa troppo. Il "chef" non e' un vero "chef" come uno pensa. Invece e' un cuoco di montagna. Va in giro come un coglione con una... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2008The place is OK. But, nothing to write home about in terms of food quality and value. We have been there a number of times due to our home location and we have found that quality of food is very inconsistent from week to... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2008It's ok, small, and overpriced. I got ripped off on the pasta with tartufo...about a spoonfull of pasta with a few cheap (probably Chines sourced) mushrooms they like to call "tartufos". Tartufo my a-s! They were... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 29, 2008I tried it with wife and friends this past weekend. I loved the place. The food was excellent, service no problem, and a wonderful atmosphere. The chef greeted us at our table and prepared some wonderful food. We will... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 28, 2008I have been going to this place over the past year. The food is not too bad and in fact it's sometimes very good. It seems to be inconsistent, maybe depending on who cooks it at any given time. Service is good. The wines are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 27, 2008I loved the food and the relaxed atmosphere. Great place to spend a quiet evening dining.. Not sure waht all the fuss is about prices. Good food is costly everywhere and this place is no costlier than any good... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 20, 2008I have no affiliation with this resaturant and I have never been there before but i was curious who has the time to write all these bad reviews. They are clearly written by the same person. Even worse is the fact that this... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2008The place is a joke! High prices for mediocre food and very cheap wine inflated for customers. Check ou Tartufo's website descriptives at tartuforestaurant dot com and p-ss your pants laughing. Description on... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2008Last few people got it right! Dante paisan is by no means a "chef", even if he gives himself that title. He can't cook much of anything with a few exceptions. He is not only rude to staff but sometimes to customers - we... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2008Terrible food, service is weak and the BIG-SHOT owner Mr. Dante is a bad Italian joke. This wannabe pisan can't cook so he tries to schmooze around the joint trying to justify his overpriced menu. The bar is poorly... (more)
Gianpiero21
on Citysearch Jul 14, 2008Not only is that stuff about the Dante chef-owner true, but his prices are out of sight considering what you get. The food is average in most cases but sometimes poor as his cook(s) don't cook it right....like cold veal... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 10, 2008We agree with previous reviewer completely. Have eaten there twice and have also seen this Dante clown treating his people like trash. The guy comes around with a s - -t eating grin like a fool and thinks himself as our... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2008Talk about overpriced!!!!! The food was fair and not hot when I got it. Service was average or below. Wine was cheap stuff and priced through the sky. Place is noisy. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2008Ate there last Saturday, wouldn't ever go back. The manager "Dante" is a real idiot, arrogant and demeaning to his wait staff. We were embarassed for his employees. A classless bully who tries to impress the... (more)

on Citysearch May 24, 2008Took my wife and her parents here for their anniversary, We are all Italian and her parents are as Italian as one can get. First comment: "Is this all the pasta they give in a dish?" . They were amazed that the place can... (more)

on Citysearch May 17, 2008I know food, Italian food. We ate at Tartufo Friday night. My objective judgement is that the food was inconsistent quality, way way overpriced in many cases, a noisy place to eat, and fair service. Stay away from... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2008A Great Place to Enjoy!! I must say as a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America Tartufo is a magnificent restaurant in quaint Newton Center. The atmosphere can be a bit noisy due to the beautiful granite bar and... (more)

on Citysearch May 07, 2008I'm true blooded Italian. Tartufo is a fairly good place to eat if you don't mind the BIG $$$ for what you get. Have gone twice and each time we came to same conclusion: Food is good BUT not authentic Italian in most cases.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 17, 2008This is very much a neighborhood joint, where the folks there at the bar know each other and the staff pretty well. Being the odd one out at the bar, I got the attention of the staff, including a woman who seemed to be a... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2008We went there last week. My wife and I are true Italians from Southern Italy, though admittedly growing up in Boston area. We not only speak Italian but eat Italian ..all "from scratch". We travel to Italy to visit... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2008Not sure what all the negative reviews are about, just ate there literally hours ago and the meal was outstanding. The waitstaff was wonderful - met the head chef and owners, spoke to them at length - he uses all organic... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2008I went to this restaurant about two months ago. I found the atmosphere relaxing and even romantic. The service was just as I like, which is not overbearing, but rather friendly, informative and timely. As for the... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 19, 2007seriously, when i walked in here, i wanted to RUN (but couldn't since i was there for a family dinner...they all agreed afterwards that it was the WORST dinner ever). besides the fact that the food is bland, boring and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2007We ate at this place a few weeks ago. Needless to say, we were hardly impressed. They put us near the bar and the noise and chit chat from bartender and friends was unbearable. The waitress took her sweet time to serve us... (more)
