There is one aspect of the Bedford Village Inn’s philosophy that is absolutely rigid and inflexible: To use only the freshest indigenous ingredients in preparing the most exquisite New England regional cuisine. And because these ingredients change with the seasons, our menus also change frequently to take the best advantage of them.

Here are just a morsel or two to anticipate from the kitchens of the Bedford Village Inn: Sautéed double–breaded goat cheese, crispy on the outside, warm in the middle, stuffed with sweet apricots and pine nuts then drizzled with balsamic vinegar and nestled in Mesclun greens with fresh herbs. Then, for an unusual nutty flavor for a main course, savory grain remaining from the beer brewing process makes a specialty dumpling smothered with fresh prawn or lobster. Or perhaps a crisp seared duck brushed with an aged glaze of rum, vanilla beans, molasses and brown sugar. Finally - just say "Chocolate Bag" and you’ll experience The Bedford Village Inn’s signature dessert albeit a difficult choice from among the many fantasy confections on the menu.

Peter Agostinelli, Executive Chef brings an impressive culinary background and enthusiastic appreciation that began around the family table with his Italian grandfather, who so influenced Agostinelli that at the young age of 13 his first job was at a small Italian restaurant in his hometown, and it was here that he realized his love of cooking. 

A Woburn native, Agostinelli’s culinary career began at Newbury College in Massachusetts where he earned his degree in Culinary Arts, which added dimension to his tremendous love of New England regional cuisine.  After graduating in 1998, he began working for the Olives Group with renowned chef/owner, Todd English and within a short time he became the Executive Sous Chef of Figs at Chestnut Hill in Massachusetts. In 2005 he joined the Bedford Village Inn where he excelled in all of his positions to achieve the Executive Chef’s position.  Peter has been an active culinary professional involving himself in various charitable and industry events.
