Tufulios is such a classic. The bar always gets busy, but it's a great place if you can get a spot. The food is consistent and solid. There's some great apps. what's fun is that most of the meals come with either rice, pasta, or a baked potato AND your choice of soup or a salad. That's a really good deal for what you get. I had a special this past time, the steak mac and cheese and it was really good! Cheesy, tasty, flavorful. read more

Tufulio's Restaurant - Steak Mac and cheese - New American Near Me

My family has been here several times and it's always good! We've ordered the same thing a couple of times and it's always the same great quality, but with enough slight variation that you can tell it's truly made from scratch. Their specials are great but everything on their regular menu that we've tried has also been delicious! This is definitely our go-to spot in the area! Our favorites are the pasta dishes (particularly the tortellini)! The staff is also always nice and we've gotten pretty lucky with little to no wait to be seated every time we've come in (though we've seen others have to wait longer). read more

Tufulio's Restaurant - Cup made me LOL - New American Near Me

I used to like Tufulios. It was pretty standard Italian fare. I think it has slipped after COVID. They're having issues with staffing. The service these days has gotten very slow. They are no longer offering take out service. I found this out after a half hour of trying to call them. I only live two miles away, so I jumped in my truck and went over. The white nitro pizza used to be a favorite. The one that was served to me was inedible. Seemed like a frozen crust. As a Sugarloaf institution, I hope they get their act together and rebound. read more

Tufulio's is a local favorite - good food, beer and wine, and a fun mountain vibe...what else do you need to have a good evening? The menu has something delicious for everyone - pasta, meat and seafood, vegetarian, and kids too. The once a week half-off wine is a great way to experience wine's out of your normal budget. The friendly staff will take good care of you! read more

Excellent everything food drinks service. Very impressed. Comfortable atmosphere but not stuffy. Lol forward to next visit

Food was delicious. I had the chicken Parmesan and my husband had a wild mushroom ravioli lobster and scallop in a cream sauce. Service was awesome. Haley was our waitress. She was AWESOME!!! Definitely recommend. read more

I truly enjoyed having a meal here. In this small town, there are few selections of restaurants. Among these, I believe this is one of the best options here. The portion was very generous. My steak was a cooked perfectly, I loved the side pasta dish. The bread was so soft and moist. The salmon dish was very tasty as well. The potato fries were crispy that i could stop eating it. Overall, this place is great and no downside that I can think of. I would defintely go back if I am in this area. read more

Great daily food specials and awesome atmosphere! Our favorite place to stop when we're in the area.

Pizza was very good, and so was the service. Wasn't crazy about the onion soup as it was too salty.

If you drink enough any bar is good enough lol. Only kidding, Skip! Great bar and great food equal a great time. Visit here every time I come from Connecticut. The ravioli with scallops was yummy. The steak is very good and haddock makes perfect. Staff was attentive and helpful. Nice to have the owner come by to chat and check up on us! See you next visit read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. The pasta was horrible, like I'm talking freezer selection at market basket bad bad pasta. Like cmon if you're "claiming" to be an Italian place at least get the basics right. WILL NEVER RETURN! read more

Went here last night for my birthday dinner, and it was absolutely amazing! Probably the best and nicest restaurant we have visited while in Maine, we aren't from here and I have to say, I'd return just to eat here again! Our server was so sweet and helpful! The inside was beautifully decorated and just all around an amazing experience. read more

I've been eating and drinking at Tufulios since about 1979, and I have never had a bad eating experience there. During college days, I probably had some bad drinking experiences, but that was due to my own stupidity. However, as a wicked refined adult, I can now review it on a culinary basis. The food is consistently excellent, and there are few places that can compete with them even within a few hours drive from its location in Carrabassett Valley. The staff has been there forever, so they know what they're doing, and they know the clientele. One thing I can say with absolute conviction is that they serve the single best pizza available in Maine: The Hot Chicken Pizza. Loaded with chicken, red peppers and pepperoncini, it gets your head sweating and your tastebuds smiling through a haze of mild pain, so if you like some zip in your food, and have a moderately sophisticated taste for pizza, then this is your dream come true. Of course, their other pizzas are excellent, but this one is something truly special. read more

This is the best restaurant in town! The steak is superb. The salmon is well prepared! We will definitely come here again! read more

Super delicious. Ribeye special was very good and seared duck (on regular menu) with wild rice was fantastic: crispy skin and a ton of flavorful mushrooms with a slightly sweet Madeira sauce. Great with a glass of Salentein Malbec. Soup special wth white beans, sausage and ham was great too. My friend from Colby recommended this place and it did not disappoint. read more

No one in the Carrabassett Valley/ even the No End Boston can hold a Candle to Tufulios. Food is always Fresh and comes to the table Hot. Outstanding Staff and always entertaining. You might even see Olympian Snowboarder Seth Wescott sitting in the bar A+ read more

Food was very good we had Marsala lasagna salad Service was so so ! We waited awhile which is fine and understandable on a Saturday night but the lack of customer Service was missing kind of like whatever attitudes ? Really just a young under experienced staff is all with a little shaping and molding could change I can't complain about the food it was very good price was reasonable .. we'd go back for sure ! read more

Food was good and so was the service. Helpings were plentiful. Highly recommend if your in the area or are extremely hUngry after skiing all day. read more

We went on a Friday evening. Plenty of room and we were seated right away with plenty of social distancing. The wait staff were prompt, pleasant and knowledgeable. Our party of 3 had haddock, salmon and pizza. All were Excellent! Highly recommended. read more

Great food, good specials, great layout, well staffed, great variety of food, lots of good beers on tap, lots of great wines on tap, family friendly and a fun bar area with a few TVs, away from the hustle and bustle of the mountain. I can't think of much else I'd want in a restaurant. It's not gourmet, but it's not mountain food all the other places serve around here. I would take a date here, go with the guys, or bring the fam. I'm going again tomorrow! read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Extensive wine list at good prices. Really nice selection of beers on tap. This place is a regular hang-out for locals and visitors and is a mainstay of the Valley community. Opens at 4:00 everyday for happy hour. They have the best homemade blue cheese dressing which is great with the chicken wings. I've been here many times and have tried a lot of the menu selections and have never been disappointed. Great place to land after a day of skiing, mountain biking, golf, etc. read more

Tufulio's is a really cool place, the food is fantastic given that it is alone in this otherwise baron part of Maine. In the winter when Sugarloaf is open this place is very busy, in the summer not so much but busy or not this place is always a great place to come for cheap happy hour, great food and some very friendly locals. Jean is a great bar tender and there is a loud local named Jennifer that just lights up the the place. read more

Tufulio's Restaurant - Very cool bar setup. - New American Near Me

The Carrabassett library employee's told us that this place was good, and they were correct. We had dinner salads (meh, average), haddock tufulio with pesto (A+, especially if you love pesto) bread (nom noms) butternut squash ravioli appetizer was my dinner (it had maple syrup sauce!) lobster stew- more of a bisque, not that hearty, but good, not a ton of lobster. Prices were average. I'd say the service was decent as well. Cheers. read more

Ordered take out since covid time still. Haven't had food from Tufulio's in a year. Hubbie and I pleased as always! Love their food!! Hubbie had veggie pizza and he said it was better than our home town pizza. That is high praise, indeed! I had the chive shrimp and requested they add some broccoli. I was in heaven - so delicious!! Tufulio's never disappoints!! Our favorite restaurant in Carrabasset Valley!! Been coming here for 9 years. read more

Finacee and I came here after getting bored with the on mountain options, and we were very glad we did! The wine selection lives up to the hype. They also had Allagash Black (one of my local favorites) and several other hard to find beers. I had the steak, which was delicious if slightly dry, and she loved the eggplant parmesan. The service was outstanding, our waitress was happy to accomodate our indecisiveness. We'll definitely be returning. read more

Best meal we had staying up here! A lot of places were closed and we were very happy this place was open for the marathon weekend! There was a little wait but like I said there wasn't much open so it was going to happen. Food was fabulous! Service aside from it being super busy was great! Very friendly people! Actually just ate my leftovers and they were still perfect! I had the 3P tortellini that was very flavorful and filling! Also the chocolate mousse was a great choice too with kahlua and some kind of crunchy middle very tasty! My mom had some lemon cake that she keeps saying that she keeps dreaming of. Haha! read more

I love this place. A landmark of the loaf with delicious food and a fun and eclectic atmosphere. I have on many occasions been tempted to drive an hour and a half for their veggie pizza with eggplant. I actually want to go now. Mmmm. read more

Back at Sugarloaf for Reggae Fest this year, and the obligatory dinner at Tufulio's! We brought the boys with us this time and we all enjoyed our meals. The portions are very generous, so we even had enough to bring back to the dog eagerly waiting in the car. As with last time, we got a generous amount of lobster in our creamy lobster stew, and the duck was tender and well cooked. The boys' salmon special and steaks were delicious too. Tufulio's fills up fast during the ski season, so make sure you get there early so you can get a table. The service is efficient, upbeat, and friendly. See you again next year!! Check out our our food photos and you'll see why. read more

Great servers who arrived at the right times at the table....didn't wait for anything. Food quality of all our dishes was great for the most part. Roasted red potatoes were underdone and asparagus was only 4 thin spears but the steak was perfect. Meatballs/ravioli .... Delectable Beer...yum....wine....yummier..... Choose this over your hotel restaurant....it's worth the 10 minute drive. Kudos to the DJ.......this meal with BB King et al in the background was great ambience. read more

I love Tufulios! The staff are great, the food is great and the drinks are always good. I have a lot of dietary restrictions and I can always find something on the menu. read more

My friend and I, both long time Sugarloafers, rank all the mountain area restaurants each year. Tufulios generally ends up 1 or 2. It's in the valley which adds to its appeal. Overall food quality, selection, prices and atmosphere are the criteria. Great place for families and meeting friends for drinks. Lots of sugarloaf and ski history on the walls of the bar. During the season and weekends get there before 530 or after 8. Otherwise, you will spend a fair amount of time in the cramped bar. Traditional Italian food menu. Veal Marsala is a favorite. Baked wings are awesome. Usually rotate 3 or 4 specials which add some menu diversity. Good locally owned restaurant. read more

"Best food in the world, ever." "I would seriously drive six hours just for this place." Those are quotes my teenage brother wants to include. Take these with a good shaker full of salt since a) he just spent all day burning calories at Sugarloaf b) was starving c) is a teenager d) who's one true love is food and e) should never be taken seriously. But still, he said that. So yeah, my dad, my brother and I came here after spending the day skiing, and this place really hit the spot. I personally may have only given four stars since the waitress had to be reminded of little things like refills on a few occasions, but honestly she was perfectly nice and did in fact take our orders and give each person the right order, all of them hot and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Also, the food was really, really good, to the point where when I could only eat half of my shrimp pasta dish (forget the real name) Dad and my brother were more than happy to polish off the rest. Glad to have come here. read more

Great selection of craft beer and well portioned american/italian food. Open year round and a hot spot for locals.

So wife and I decided to try this place while staying at a local inn in Kingfield. Wife ordered the duck breast and I ordered the filet with Gorgonzola. The duck was served at a perfect temperature however the fat was not rendered correctly. They should be starting the duck in a cold pan and slowly bringing it up to temp. The filet was cooked perfectly but the grilled zucchini was saturated in oil and inedible. Service was slow but very friendly. It's a cute little place and probably come back again just not order the duck. read more

My fiancè and I were told to visit Tufulios as an option for dinner. Menu looked good so we tried it out. Overall we were really impressed ! My fiancè got filet medallions Gorgonzola and it was cooked how he liked it... it came with a lot of other sides which were also good. I got the baked haddock and it was made with all of my favorite things - pesto tomato and Parmesan cheese... at first I was skeptical... but I am so glad I tried it. This was AMAZING. The pesto sauce was so good that I joked I could drink it from the dish. The fish was cooked perfectly and fell apart by the touch of my fork. Service was okay - waitress was new so she was unsure of some things but was personable and honest. We would definitely go back. read more

I love this place! Consistently delicious up-to-date food. They'll customize off the menu when not busy and the everyday happy hour is so fun. Every visitor I bring there has such a good time. For my Dad it has become a ritual. He comes to Maine we go to Tufulios. Every time! The decor has a story to tell and if it doesn't you can make one up. The regulars banter across the bar and it has wines (good wines) on a tap setup. Love love love! What to eat? Sunday is two-fer, eat the steak or seafood pasta! The duck is a pleasant surprise. And hurry in for lasagne night before it's gone. Go there for sure, there are so many surprises! I don't want to give it all away ;) read more

4pm Grumpy Hour! If you don't sit in Joe's chair he may offer you a "monkey nut". Oven baked wings are awesome and cheap. Suck'em right off the bone. Great pizza ( especially left overs the next morning when you're hung over ) and menu items. The specials are tasty too! Nice selection of beer and wine. Oh, and there is a full bar that I can attest to. I I always look forward to stopping in when I'm upta camp. read more
