A little more upscale than the regular pizza places. The 100 year old building is loaded with charm and the interior is all brick wall. Taylor Swift was spotted here when she was still new in town. I had the home-made pasta faggioli with garlic knots (always a winner) and my guest had the mushroom ravioli. You get your choice of pasta sauce and she chose the vodka sauce. Beer and wine are on the menu as well as Perrier, soda and pink lemonade. They have enormous hot and cold grinders (delicious), great salads including a great chopped salad, and of course, a wide assortment of pizzas.

The library is wonderful as always. So much more than books! I attended the regional history fair on Sept 14 where about 20 local historical societies and museums had exhibits. Great turnout!

Eclectic is the word for this group of businesses. Several artists occupy this space as well as a bakery and Charter Oak Digital. Charter Oak specializes in scanning and preserving old media of every kind, from sound recordings, movies, VHS, Beta, print media and photographs. (Photo restoration is their specialty.) Once an actual fabric mill, there is a wide common space that accommodates community events like the indoor flea or farmers market in the colder months.
