La Trattoria & Pizzeria of the West End

The worst pizza I ever had....pizza in Gloucester is not that good to start , this is the bottom of the barrel. The pizza itself was like a greasy burnt sponge..no sauce I could see and the cheese was stringy.

Top Dog

Owner had told me cannot get beer license unless used real plates and silverware and had ...tablecloths?? I think..

Apparantly, it's required by Rockport's rules on alcohol licensing

Tucker's Farm Family Diner

My new favorite breakfast place. The food is fabulous, all home made. The service is very friendly as it is family owned. Very reasonable prices, a great value! Looking forward to trying dinner soon.

Dragon Light

Ordered take-out New Year's Eve, what a mistake!
My mother and I have both been sick for the last 2 days with food poisoning. Keep running to the bathroom. Stay away!

Latitude 43 Restaurant and Bar

This is one of my favorite places to go. We have eaten there quite a few times over the last year - and have NEVER been disappointed! Great food! Menu changes with the seasons. Same owners as Alchemy - but menu is different. I don't eat sushi - but the sushi bar looks nice. Great atmosphere. Many, many good wait people - but we love John! We never hesitate to go there when we get the chance!

Alchemy


We have been there three times over the last 6 months. Absolutely fabulous! But, the menu is diverse and esoteric - New Age type. Odd mixes, but absolutely wonderful meals. I don't eat weird things - but this is one of my favs!!! Service was superb! Make reservations online! Show up and relax. Not a place to be in a hurry. This is dining!

Duckworth's Bistrot

For such an expensive restaurant, the food could be a lot better. The mushroom soup is good, although not worth $9. There are plenty of places in Gloucester that make soup as good for 1/2 the price. For my entree I had the sirloin slices, which were dry, overcooked, and almost tasteless. They reminded me of the pre-packaged veal cutlets in the grocery store. An absolute disgrace at $28. The desserts were better value than the main courses. The banana cake was large, fresh, delicious for $8.

Server was good. Not a bad experience, just a very overpriced one.

Destino's Subs & Catering

I grew up in Essex (still live here) and went to Gloucester High School back in the early 70's. We always went to Destino's for cheesesteak with bbq sauce and LOVED it! Went back there this summer to relive that experience, and although the bbq sauce is not the same, the sub was still wonderful! A tiny bit less wonderful due to the different sauce, but wonderful all the same. The staff is friendly, the place was clean, and they still have the macaroni salad that I remember so fondly! Still yummy and if I lived in Gloucester I'd go there all the time. Am going to get a Christmas party catered through them as well!

Mamie's Kitchen

Self promotion is good but constant reviews by ownership can work in reverse.

*Note from Admin: Please keep comments to personal reviews of an establishment. For the record, I know two of the previous reviewers and they are most definitely not the owners. Thanks.

Mamie's Kitchen

I stopped in and got the chicken pot pie to go. It came with a big pile of REAL mashed potatoes that were buttery and yummy. The chicken pot pie had a fluffy, soft biscuit crust, plenty of delicious gravy, and tender chicken. It was so damn good I ate every bite. OMG. Now I can't move...all I can do is roll around on my back with my legs in the air, moaning softly.

But I'm happy : )

Mamie's Kitchen

Second time there today and it's definately worth checking out if you like comfort food. Everything is home made and so good. Reasonable prices but they don't take credit cards. I've been for breakfast and lunch, both were excellent.

We stopped in yesterday for lunch. Had a delicious bowl of chicken soup and a 1/2 chicken salad sandwich. My friend had the veggie wrap with a side of potato salad. Everything was excellent-my friend is still raving about that potato salad!!

We finished with an individual pumpkin pie with gingerbread crust and whipped cream. It was easily big enough for 3 people but we did our best : )

The owner, Alicia, was super friendly and fun to chat with. She said everything is home made and I believe it. Really good food...we'll be back.

The Happy Taco

Have eaten at Happy Taco four or five times now. Quality ingredients, friendly service and delicious tacos and burritos. The fish is especially good . Definitely something different and I am hoping it sticks around for a long time. On my last visit the line (four deep at opening) was all California ex-pats getting our fix of the real deal. Yum.
