Q: This opening was a little bittersweet for me. Sad that the dumplings are no longer down the street from my house in Fitchburg, but happy that they have returned to their rightful place on State Street. The dumplings are just as tasty as ever. Go for the full order of mixed meat and potato with the spicy sauce and an extra side of sour cream. And then come back for dinner for another order. The new place has a different more modern feel than the old hole in the wall. Can't say whether this is good or bad - all I know is that I would sit in a cardboard box on the corner and eat them if I had to.

Q: I walked into Villa Antonio anticipating amazing food and a good time. Well, when Im out with my 2 sisters even a deserted parking lot would be a fun time, thats why this place still got the 2 stars. We nibbled on the Bruschetta while deciding what to order. The menu seemed to have many options and it all sounded good. I got the Lobster Bisque to start off with, and what a horrible choice. It came out lukewarm, overly fishy smell (almost like dead fish--yuck!) and completely inedible. The presentation made me salivate, but I came to my senses after the 2nd bite. Couldnt even think of the 3rd bite. Im hoping there was something wrong that specific day with this soup, cause Lobster Bisque anywhere else is delightful. For the entree I got some kind of pasta with shrimp, sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese. Im not lying when I say I can make an amazing pasta dish that would put this one to a crying shame. It was awful, tasteless and just a waste of (alot) of money. The dish had tiny chunks of canned tomatoes! That gross can taste was such a turn off, I ate all 2 bites and took the rest home to give my mom a good laugh. And boy did she laugh. We did have dessert though, off a huge machine looking cart. I had creme brulee and it was the saving grace of this restaurant (also the reason they got 2 stars). Also the in-between palate cleansers were good too. I wish they would serve that as dessert! My sister decided to pay for my dinner (how nice) and our total came to be $128.00!! For crap food! I felt so bad for her......but Ill make it up to her someday :)

Q: Good location, clean, and cheaper than Regal at Red Rock I quite like AMC Town Square based on my two visits and with ample parking, comfortable seats, and good sight lines plus matinee prices the only thing really missing here is an IMAX. Factor in the nearby shopping to help you kill time while waiting for a film, a few decent dining options, and some of the earliest showtimes in town and I'd say I'm a fan.

Q: Sweet Basil offers a sweet cooking class! It started off a little slow but it could be because I like to cook and didn't need an entry-level lesson on how to read a recipe. Once we got through that, it started to jive! There was a group of around 15 of us, so they created a menu with several items and split us up into groups. Throughout the evening, we got to slice, dice and serve up different dishes for the rest of the group to try and while we cooked, we sipped on the wine we brought (it is BYOB after all). There were some kinks in the class, but all-in-all I enjoyed myself and had a good time. I would offer one piece of advice for you if you decide to take the class. Have a snack before! The class started at 7:00 but after the instructions and we cooked the different dishes, we didn't end up eating until closer to 9. Sweet Basil has a wide selection of cooking items for sale as well. They have everything from Cuisinart to fun novelty gifts for a cat-lover (meow!), dog lover, kitchen lover or simply the new cook!
