About the restaurant
Dining at The Old Inn on the Green is an extraordinary experience: fine wine, great food, attentive, knowledgeable service and the dining rooms illuminated only by candle light. Chef and Owner Peter Platt, along with his team, work to create innovative and memorable meals that are an event unto themselves. Currently, we are offering a $85 prix fixe menu with 5-6 choices per course every night we are open. The hours for dinner are Wednesday through Sunday 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm for both indoors and in an all new screened outdoor room. The wine list is graced with an array of thoughtfully selected estate bottled wines from France, California, Italy and around the world. In addition to candlelight, in the colder months there are wood burning fireplaces in each room. A copy of our current menu can be found on the home page of our website www.oldinn.com.

New place in a cool space. The owner and chef was very engaging and spent time stopping by to tell us about the food and his place. We had bbq and chicken sandwich as well as the bread pudding great.

About the restaurant
Chef/Owner Jeffrey Daigneau “wanted to share his craft with the community he grew up in, treating them to a new level of dining experience – the "Lattitude experience.” He wanted to highlight freshness and the use of local seasonal products create some unique fresh cuisine for guests. With a farm to table concept flowing from the pages of his menus by way of grilled beef tenderloin with white sweet potato puree, pan seared Diver scallops and his famous fried brussels and much, much more, Chef Daigneau has brought back the excitement of dining out. He strives to cover all of his guests’ favorite tastes to invite emotion and inspiration during their dining experience! Thank you for stopping by. The Lattitude team and Chef Daigneau always look forward to having you as their guests. Cheers!

About the restaurant
Casta Diva was founded on the idea that the people of Central Massachusetts shouldn’t have to go all the way to the North End to get real, fresh Northern Italian cuisine.

About the restaurant
Drawing inspiration from the region’s history and natural surroundings, the 156-seat freestanding restaurant reflects elemental themes of wood, water, iron, and fire, reminiscent of the carriage houses and blacksmith shops that once dotted the landscape. The centerpiece of Forge & Vine is an eight-foot wood fired grill and open kitchen with counter seating where guests can enjoy dinner while interacting with the chef. Welcoming residents as well as visitors to the area, Forge & Vine offers a strong sense of place with a design sensibility that brings in the outside with floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking pastoral views of Gibbett Hill. The restaurant boasts spacious and casual bar with service inside and out and features classic and comfortable cuisine sourced from the best produce, seafood, and meats that New England offers.

We had a wonderful evening we ordered the two flatbreads and they were amazing. They were enough so we didn’t have to order a meal. A few cocktails to end the evening outside was fabulous. Will definitely go back. Our server Abby was great, attentive and friendly, would ask for her again. Overall top notch place. Can’t wait to go back.

We have dined at Nuovo in Worcester, MA on occasion during the past 12 years, and they have never disappointed. The food quality and service are excellent, as they were when we dined there on June 6, 2025. Our waitress was superb, and the food, wonderful. However, the prices, particularly for drinks has become excessive (as they are in most good restaurants) when added to the overall bill, but we will continue to dine here (at least on special occasions) because of the food quality and service. We recommend them for special occasions.
