Seed-Oil-Free Restaurants
in Newton

Tartufo is an authentic Southern Italian/Abruzzese restaurant emphasizing scratch-cooking and imported Italian ingredients. The menu explicitly mentions extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in appetizers and seafood dishes. No seed oils are named on the menu, and the restaurant's philosophy emphasizes "natural ingredients" and traditional Italian preparation. However, cooking oils for pasta, proteins, and fried items like calamari and croquettes are not fully specified on the website — confirmation of clean fats for all cooking methods would strengthen confidence.

Baramor is a scratch-kitchen gastropub in Newton with an emphasis on house-made comfort food. Their menu prominently features fried items—fried chicken, battered cauliflower, french fries, and breaded wings—which are staples of the menu. While the owner mentions butter-basting their steak, the oil used in the fryer and for deep-frying these items is never specified. Given the high volume of fried foods and the absence of any statement about using clean fats for frying, it's likely they use conventional seed oils. We recommend asking them directly about their fryer oil and cooking fats when you visit or call.
