Wait, does that mean it's good? There is a bunch of rocks set up to look like an archeological site. Complete with a series of small walls that only keebler elves could have navigated and the "sacrificial table" is about 15x15 feet square. Inside, they play these shitty videos, like leonard nimoy's in search of series. The film says stuff like "we carbon dated these rock to 10 million years ago".....and 'the pattern of the trees lines up with the sun's trajectory on the equinoxes and solstices. They keep asking, "Who built this? you decide....." . Alright guys, you and your pagan kids took a bunch of old rocks and made this playskool "my first wicca village set" that's who. I am so torn 1 lump or 5???? I recommend you go on some astrologically significant day, put on your favorite wizard outfit, sacrifice a goat, BBQ it up. Have a jamboree baby.

No Kings live here anymore, but perhaps once upon a time they did…read more We have friends that live here (a common theme of my current reviews), and they both consider (they're a married couple) this town to not be so much of a town, but an extension of Portsmouth NH or the Greater Boston area (whichever you prefer). But most people in the town consider it a town even though there's only 6k people here and it feels quite rural - like a very rural suburb. It's beautiful up here, but then it's New England, so we expect it to be.

The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful, definitely a highlight, although I feel like the…read morerecipe may have changed a bit, but I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong, our waitress was polite, but every time we mentioned something, there just wasn't any follow-through. I had asked for extra bread and a new napkin and they never arrived. When my boyfriend asked for more water, she responded along the lines of she was about to do it, which came off like it was an inconvenience. I also wasn't offered fresh pepper and had to ask for Parmesan cheese, which made things feel a little off. I ordered the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare with clams, calamari, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and a lobster tail. The seafood itself was cooked pretty well, but the pasta was heavily overcooked, which was such a bummer because we come here at least twice a year and usually look forward to it. Afterward, I asked if the pasta was homemade and was told you have to specifically request that. I feel like that's something that should be mentioned upfront when ordering. Also, I forgot to mention they add radishes to the salad and no one asked about allergies. When I got mine, there was a big radish in it and I just had to hope I removed them all, which wasn't a great feeling. I don't know what changed, but overall this visit just felt a little disappointing compared to what we're used to.

My wife and I went in hoping for a little Boston North End vibe without leaving Manchester's North…read moreEnd (live close by) on Valentine's Day Eve with reservations (yes, Villaggio, you have my phone number). The food: Mostly hit as we hoped! Chicken parm was great, marinara was excellent! The surprise was the bolognese on my partner's spaghetti side, which was a bit bland, expected the opposite - both were still great to be clear. Chicken Caesar salad was on point as much as a salad can be. ;) The service: This is the real issue. Only two of us, and about 5 seconds after giving my drink order (while my partner was still ordering her drink) and getting a initial look of disapproval when ordering water on the waitress's first pass (wanted to look at the drink menu), I asked to swap the liquor in my Olde Fashion to something she mentioned under her breath when I first ordered it (took me a minute to process it). The waitress said it was "too late" with her handheld because it's instantly sent to the bar. If that's true, that's a pretty bad system, efficiency be damned. We were within earshot of many other tables - our waitress didn't explain dishes or specials like we saw/heard other servers doing (left us feeling regretful with our food choices), and she tried to take my card before I even opened the bill... this is after telling us we had to wait 15 minutes for a second round of bread (haha, which showed up 35 minutes later - petty, but annoying). Things were bad enough with the waitress that we actually asked to box up our mains shortly after receiving them (ate less than 10% of either). This was our second visit (first was takeout, which was great) and our first time dining in. Being in Customer Service and having a history in the restaurant industry, on the way out (after paying and tipping, aka not looking for a discount), I hesitated walking out the door and turned to ask for a manager. The front-of-house host said he'd speak as the manager and responded to everything with a sarcastic "that's unfortunate" / "that's our standards" / "that's too bad" / and sent us on our way. Not big complainers, hate doing it, but this one stuck with us, especially with the high praise and relatively premium prices this restaurant seemingly gets online -- bad taste service-wise, great taste food-wise. Looking around, most of the customers are of an older demographic, and again, most of the waitstaff seemed awesome (especially compared to ours). Would absolutely get the food again. However, as someone that lives on the North End of Elm St, I would never dine in again if this is what they consider acceptable service... what more can we do besides speak up about our concerns, after settling the tab... being told that's "normal" is gross in my opinion. Working in restaurants in the past, if that's their standard, then I distrust their entire approach to service.

The Chicken Parmigiano was cooked perfectly, had excellent flavor, but for me there was not just not enough cheese. I like my chicken to be covered- or most of it. The pasta was excellent. So together for me, it's an 7/10. My friend 9/10. The Roman Salad- essentially a Caesar, had great dressing, but the huge dissapointment, was grated cheese. For $15, I want actual Parmesan. I won't be getting that again. We also got a Greek Salad, and 2 Add 1 Polpetti. I was told the salad was good, we couldn't add grilled chicken today because of issues on DoorDash, hence the Add 1 Polpetti. The only comment on the meatballs was that they came with no sauce- while they were tasty, they expected sauce. (Makes sense)?! Overall, the food was fresh, and flavorful. I am not sure if we would order again? For the cost, I expect more. They seemed super helpful, and friendly. Since this was delivery, I can't speak to ambiance!

What's new this year? Nothing I assume. Four years ago it was the same four BBQ peddlers. Now there's three fish and chips trucks and fried dough. So much for the food truck side of this years renewal. Fine. Whatever. Might as well get BBQ. Now, for only 23$ you can get two good ribs, a scoop of terrible pulled pork and a scoop of terrible bbq chicken. What else you ask? Not a drink, not cornbread. But fear not, they pick your sides because there's only two. Baked beans and cole slaw that was an embarrassment. Lettuce and mayo. Seriously? 53$ in and the wife pays another 11$ for the lousy chicken on a bun. But the atmosphere, right? It's more than the sum of its pieces, isn't it? No. A barley mediocre band, 3$ sodas, 8$ beers. WOW! And nothing but Bud, the worst beer with the best advertising budget. And don't worry, the parasites all over the place trying to sell you propane heating, bank accounts and no clean gutters will drive you out almost as fast as the brainless parents who refuse to mind theirs little terrors because the finally get a break. This might be a change of pace, or an easy excuse to tire out your kids, but it's also a slap in the face. tldr; Fk Ribfest. Go literally anywhere else.
