Vermont Restaurants Northern Italian Dining Vermont

Although The Doveberry Inn is cozy and provincial, the food is anything but. The Authentic Northern Italian cuisine

prepared by owners Michael and Christine Fayette promises to turn a memorable stay into a downright unforgettable visit — and a very, very tasty one at that. Both Michael and Christine are trained chefs who have honed their skills in superior restaurants from California to Florida, from Nantucket to Vermont. When they brought their culinary skills to Vermont, it was only a matter of time before the Doveberry Inn garnered national attention. Only a casual glance at recent reviews confirms that word is definitely getting around about the inn's unique combination of savory meals and country-style accommodation. Vermont Magazine recently called the Doveberry's "exemplary meals," the "most memorable dining experience," in all of the Deerfield Valley, Vermont. Conde Nast Traveler included the Doveberry in its prestigious list of 25 American Inns with Super Chefs, saying that, "even the wonderfully fragrant shrimp and radicchio risotto won't prepare you for the magnificence of a hearty veal chop grilled over apple, mesquite, and hickory." In the summer and fall, the Fayette's imaginative creations are made with hand picked, home grown, organic vegetables. All year round dinner is served to lodgers and drop-ins alike in a beautiful 32-seat dining room with a full bar and an extensive wine list that boasts offerings from the finest vineyards of the world.
