Bertucci's West Roxbury

Bertucci's is a renowned American restaurant chain specializing in Italian cuisine, particularly known for its brick oven pizzas and fresh pastas. Established in 1981 by Italian-born restaurateur Joseph Crugnale in Somerville, Massachusetts, the first Bertucci's location was situated in Davis Square.

The restaurant's unique concept combined authentic Italian dishes with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. This quickly gained popularity in the New England area.

Company Growth and Menu

Over the years, Bertucci's expanded its presence, operating over 90 casual-dining establishments across approximately 10 states, primarily in the Northeast.

The menu features a wide array of Tuscan-style dishes, including pasta, chicken, and seafood options, as well as appetizers and desserts. A standout feature is their premium brick oven pizzas, available with a variety of toppings, offering a distinctive flavor that sets them apart.

Ownership and Expansion

In 1998, Bertucci's was acquired by N.E. Restaurant Co. Inc., later rebranded as Bertucci's Corp. This acquisition led to further growth and the introduction of new restaurant concepts.

In April 2025, Bertucci's launched "Bertucci's Pronto," a fast-casual restaurant format, with the first location opening on 22 Tremont Street in Boston.
