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.

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

What a great experience for our anniversary dinner. Great hospitality from the host/manager and the bartenders. The wine selection was really eclectic & fun, the oysters were super fresh, and the pizza & pasta were delicious. Would highly recommend!

I don’t know why I don’t see this restaurant more on some of them. Best pizzas in the North shore. This has to be one of the most delicious pies and New England. They always have fresh oysters and the seasonal dishes are also to die for.

The wood oven is awesome when you first walk in. Atmosphere is dim and quite. The wood fire pizza was exactly what I was looking for garlicy and delicious. Fairly expensive however.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Went for brunch. I don’t normally order avocado toast, but loved the beets and seasonings, made it worth it. The pizza was also very good. Margarita is my go to.

Short and Main never disappoints. Cocktails are over the top creative, balanced and as good as any NYC speakeasy I’ve been to (I’m a native so have been to quite a few). Beyond the amazing cocktails, the vibe is friendly and fun. Nice, easy menu to enjoy and a staff to love. Don’t miss it.

Reception was horrible, we didn’t have a reservation and we’ve been asked to wait 1.5 hours from a rude server. Came back 25 mins later and sat at the bar. Service was slow but the food was good. Our bartender was awesome. Recommended for pizza, but don’t expect kindness.
