"Came here for a weekend dining trip with a friend. From all the reviews I read of this restaurant on yelp I had expected it to be tasty and great service and that’s exactly what my experience was too. When we arrived to the restaurant we were greeted by the hostess and a couple servers then brought to the back side of the restaurant where it was more brightly lit with the large skylight windows which made the experience even better. What I liked about this room was that the early dishes were lighter and brighter like the sky and as we dine into the heavier and darker dishes the lighting in the room got darker as well, was a great transition overall. The server was very attentive and explained each dish and each wine pairing well. He was very down to earth and very easy to talk to. He made you feel right at home. From the menu there was a choice of the summer tasting, 3 course, 4 course or 5 course. Also the choice of doing 2 plates of the same course apart from the meat/poultry section or even do 5 courses of desserts if you’d like as what the server explained to us on the menu. Both my friend and I chose the 5 course menu, which ended up being way too much food for what we could handle. The portions are surprisingly generous! The foie gras was 6 ounces and so was the beef tenderloin. The chocolate souffle was very rich and creamy as expected. In my choice of dishes also included the duck egg which was fried on the outside with runny yolk inside which was great combo along with the next dish which was a lobster gnocci. Of the 5 plates, my favorite has got to be the foie gras! Large piece, very buttery tender, the side pairings gave out the flavor that much more."

"This review is for the restaurant Trattoria Fondi at the Bedford Village Inn. Trattoria Fondi has been operating in BVI since October 2022.My husband and I went there for our anniversary dinner. It was excellent. The ambiance is warm and comfortable. We were seated at a cozy table by the fireplace and given a card by BVI wishing us a Happy Anniversary.Our waitress was wonderful and attentive.The house made bread was fresh and delicious.We ordered the Gorgonzola Dolce so good! It was served with delicious crackers that they make in house along with nuts, honey and fig jam.I ordered the Verdi Amari (bitter greens) salad arugula, radicchio, fennel and perfectly supremed orange segments. It was very good.For my entree, I ordered the Tagliatelle alla Zafferano (saffron tagliatelle) with count neck clams. It was good but it tasted a tad bit salty for my taste and I wish the taste of the wine sauce was more pronounced. Perhaps because I was assuming it would taste more like a vongole, which it obviously is not.My husband ordered the Spaghetti alla Carbonara I would definitely recommend this as it was very good. Next time I go there I will definitely order this.The servings were appropriately sized for a multi course meal, so you can enjoy various items from the menu without feeling as though you've eaten too much.We finished with the Tiramisu, which was delicious!Thank you BVI Fondi for giving us a beautiful and memorable anniversary dinner!"
