Short & Main

This is one of the top restaurants in Gloucester and there is a lot of competition up here. It’s a fun, hip, chill casual kind of place on Main St. They have fantastic oysters shucked to order. (Plenty of places shuck them ahead of time so they can bring them right out to the table). The farm to table salads are absolutely wonderful and they also have fantastic meatballs, a seafood crudo and fresh off the boat seafood. The wood-fired pizzas are excellent but it’s so much more than a pizza spot. The roasted chicken is the best we’ve had anywhere. I dream about it 😊 Creative, expertly prepared drinks. The folks are always so friendly, genuine and welcoming. In short (get it) everything works here. It’s one of those rare restaurants where you can tell they know what they’re doing - and love doing it.

BEST RESTAURANT. I’ve gone here several times over the last few years and I continue to believe this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten pizza in Naples, Italy and I’ve gone to all the best pizza places in NYC. Short and Main pizza is the best! Also- everything else I’ve had on the menu has also been great. The ingredients seem to be of high quality and the execution is 👌👌👌. YUM 😍

Outstanding experience! This a cute little spot which feels somehow tucked away. The food is really superb. Loved the cocktails and the apt descriptions of the oysters. The pizzas cooked in the on display wood fire oven were also a hit, we highly reccomend getting somethings with the tomato sauce base. Also a sleeper? The homemade hot sauce. Service was great, never overbearing but never too far, will certainly be back again.
