It is the oldest house in Chelmsford, and the town is extremely proud of it. Best of all this is an educational place. The people there encourage visitors to participate. If you go on a class day you can learn spinning, blacksmith, history of nails, cross stitch or other crafts. My best memory is making a hanging plant holder and actually twisting the melted metal into a cool shape. If you get the chance go to an event here.

IT happens and I would of been fine waiting for a new pie but instead they ignored me and didn't say anything they took a cheese pizza heated some pepperoni on the grill and tossed on the pizza with all the extra grease from the pepperoni. The cashier then handed the pizza to me like nothing happened, I am never eating there again and I am embarrassed for them as the owner used to be a chef in Boston. This is why small restaurants go under in the first few years because of employees that don;t care. John G

Until recently, Billerica was a bit sparse, the only thing separating the nice Mass town of Lowell and the intense metropolis of Boston and its burbs. But now that Billerica is looking more like a burb every month, it's going to create non stop urbanity from Boston to Lowell, and next thing you know Manchester and Portsmouth and Providence and Worcester are sucked in, and next thing you know, New England is just New Metropolis.

The inside was cramped with tables positioned tight to each other. The food was very good. We ordered their fried calamari for a starter ap. It was a smallish portion but light, tender, and tasty with their Marinara on the side. Entrees took a while as they were quite busy with the dining rooms full and an hour wait for walk ins. I had their veal saltimbocca. It was fresh, tender, and flavorful. My wife had her go to shrimp scampi and said it was also very good. Others in the party were equally happy with their dinners although my daughter thought the veal in her veal marsala was just slightly on the tough side. Service was excellent. We will go back as my wife and I am anxious to try their parmigianas, for me the veal, and for her the eggplant.

Yay! Standing on a street watching people paid millions to do their job? Fun for some, I guess! 2) Free beer! It's free when you find BEER tickets on the ground!!! YAY ME!!! 3) The stunt plane! It showed up! It wasn't on the schedule but BOOM he was there! AWESOME! 4) The crappy band at least played songs I recognized and liked. So that's a plus. - But really this year it was the best. A bunch of the ribs SUCKED but several were EXCELLENT. It pays to pick and choose. It's also fun to eat and eat until you find the BEST of the show! And: DEEP FRIED OREOS!!! YAY!!! BEST YEAR EVER!!!

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.

Over the years I've been to Buckleys and Surf and had a very good experience. Recently ate a…read morecouple times at Lost Cowboy and it was excellent. Mike's Italian Kitchen does not meet the same bar, sadly, for the food quality. The positives were there was plenty of room and easy to get a reservation, the greeter was pleasant and the complimentary bread was very good. The cons: The pasta described as "pappardelle" is not the traditional flat noodle you'd expect. It is wider with a curly edge and difficult to eat. The sausage and meatballs were tough and chewy. Our server was pleasant but I felt a bit taken advantage of, as when 2 of us wanted the same wine, he recommended a bottle and set our expectation we could take home what we didn't drink. As we were wrapping up and chatting, he filled our glasses then walked away with the empty bottle. Neither of us drank those last glasses. I wish he would have asked if either of us wanted final refills before emptying the bottle. So, not likely this is a place I'd return to.

The restaurant is beautiful inside and has a nice bar as well as a dining room room. Hannah, our waitress, was super personable, and very engaging. They had a drink special that was cucumber, jalapeño, pineapple and tequila. It was so great. Hope you had a dirty martini that he said was delicious. We started with calamari. I moved onto the Bolognese over house made pappardelle and he had veal saltimbocca. The veal was pounded thin, it was super tender, and it was over house made spaghetti. Pasta on both dinners was perfectly cooked. The Bolognese was loaded with meat and super delicious. The saltimbocca was tender, perfectly seasoned, very fresh tasting with the prosciutto and fresh sage. We finished with some of the best cannoli that I've ever had. They properly wait to fill it until you order. The cannoli shells were light, thin and crispy. The ricotta filling was perfect. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place when you are in Nashua.

Especially if you ask for bread-which is served with a(to die for) garlic olive oil for dipping. The cannoli are prepared fresh so the cannoli shells are crisp. We also found the dining room less noisy than in the past. Overall it was a delicious meal and we look forward to going back soon!
