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.

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.

It was also, apparently, less salty, presumably for the same reason. The amount of kimchi in the "sample" was so plentiful as to almost fill up the mini cup we used for takeout. They have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan food, as well as some gluten free items, though they lack the staff and kitchen size to accommodate celiacs, so it's really more of use for people on elimination diets or with poor digestive capabilities. The owner had prior training in Italian cuisine, which is the reason such food is on the menu, and while neither my father nor I had occasion to try it, it is apparently a passion of the chef's, and the shared discussion of their mutual interest in Italian cooking may be the reason my father was given a free "sample" of kimchi, which was larger than the paid order of kimchi at most other restaurants. The food portions, in general, are massive, with the leftovers of an order of wonton soup not fitting in a to-go canister, with other orders being similarly large. Their jasmine tea is unusual for its slight fruity flavor, and ability to "overbrew" without becoming bitter, instead maintaining its delicate flavor. Each table has condiments, which in addition to including the "normal" chili crisp, and fish sauce often found at Asian restaurants that provide table condiments, have the more western pepper grinder, as well as garlic salt. Curiously, there is no "normal" salt as often found at western restaurants, though bottles of sriracha are found at every table. Perhaps the garlic salt and sriracha are the restaurant's "unique twist"?

Still excellent, still sweet (though now more noticeably spicy too), and still important to remind that the dishes here are not necessarily attempting authentic cuisine of specific regions (even though specific dishes are named), but more of a freestyle approach. The wings have improved in recent visits. More plump, more crisp, more juice, more flavor. Still good value. Still a little weak on the service (more about being young, unfocused and lacking initiative than anything approaching rudeness). Still highly recommended.

2019 This was awful. 10$ to park. Granted it goes to charity…read morebut on top of the rest of this review it's more part of what hurts than the good cause. Then, 10$ to get in, each. 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!
