This chef owned restaurant is an American contemporary bistro and wine bar. Chef Anna Wallach is brilliant in the kitchen while her husband Howard skillfully handles the front and tends to the wine.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, upscale but comfortable, lit by a candled fireplace and set around an open kitchen. The bar area is small but cozy, and perfect for striking up conversation with other folks in for a drink or a casual dinner.

Everything from salad dressings to desserts are made in-house and the menu consists of clean, fresh, inventive dishes with a focus on flavor and texture. The tenderloin bruschette appetizer is exceptional as well as the rack of lamb and duck. The attention to detail is also superb as noted by the selection of flavored salts available from around the world.

For lovers of fine wine, you won’t be disappointed. The inventory is huge with many affordable options. Flights are available as well, artfully selected for you, making it the perfect way to turn a wonderful dinner into a wine tasting.

In an area suffocated by chain restaurants and sports bars, Truffles is a gem serving Boston food without the pretense. Howard and Anna always make you feel like family.
