You’ll taste the difference when seafood is prepared the authentic Italian way. Our Abruzzese-style preparations bring out the natural sweetness in every piece of fish, every tender scallop, every perfectly grilled piece of calamari.
This isn’t the heavy, over-sauced seafood you find elsewhere. These are recipes passed down through generations from Italy’s Adriatic coast, where seafood isn’t just an ingredient—it’s an art form.
When you leave here, you’ll understand why our guests have been coming back for over 18 years. The flavors stay with you long after the meal ends.
We’ve been Bedford’s connection to authentic Italian seafood for nearly two decades. We’re not just another Italian restaurant—we specialize in the coastal cuisine of Abruzzo, where the Adriatic Sea meets centuries-old culinary traditions.
Our team understands that great seafood starts with sourcing and ends with technique. We work with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to freshness, and our kitchen follows traditional Italian methods that have been perfected over generations.
Bedford diners appreciate that we’ve never compromised on quality or authenticity, even as food trends come and go. That consistency is why families choose us for their special celebrations and why business professionals trust us for important dinners.
Every morning, we select the freshest catches based on what’s best that day. No shortcuts, no compromises. Our suppliers understand that Italian seafood cuisine demands the highest standards.
Once the seafood arrives, our kitchen team prepares each dish using traditional Abruzzese techniques. Whether it’s our signature Grilled Calamari or our house-made pasta with fresh lobster, every preparation respects both the ingredient and the tradition.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. The seafood tastes like the ocean, not like heavy sauces or over-seasoning. The pasta is made fresh daily in-house. The flavors are clean, bright, and authentic—exactly what you’d find in a family trattoria along Italy’s coast.

Start with our signature Grilled Calamari—it’s prepared using a traditional Abruzzese technique that brings out the natural sweetness without the heavy batter you find elsewhere. It’s what many customers remember most about their first visit.
For your main course, try our house-made pasta with fresh seafood. The Linguini with Lobster showcases both our pasta-making skills and our seafood preparation in one dish. If you prefer risotto, our Seafood Risotto combines multiple fresh catches in a creamy, perfectly seasoned preparation.
These dishes represent authentic Italian coastal cooking at its best. They’re not the heavy, sauce-covered preparations you might expect from Italian-American restaurants. Instead, they let the quality of the seafood and the skill of traditional techniques speak for themselves.
Our wine list focuses on Italian varietals that traditionally pair with seafood, particularly whites from coastal regions like Vermentino, Falanghina, and Fiano. These wines complement the clean, bright flavors of our Abruzzese seafood preparations.
We also feature Italian reds that work well with our heartier seafood dishes and signature preparations. Our staff can recommend specific pairings based on what you order, whether you’re having delicate fish or our more robust seafood pasta dishes.
The goal is to create an authentic Italian dining experience where the wine enhances the meal rather than overwhelming it. Many of our Bedford customers have discovered new Italian wines through our recommendations, and they appreciate that we focus on quality over quantity in our selection.
