The famous Gloucester House is world renowned for its lobster dishes and fresh seafood specialties. Having been the first to popularize fried calamari - a favorite New England dish - The Gloucester House specializes in locally caught North Atlantic seafood, prepared to perfection. 

The Spring of 2008 marked The Gloucester House's 50th year in business. What once was merely a dream for local entrepreneur Leo Linquata, has blossomed into a thriving business carried out by his own son and grandson.

This season, The Gloucester House  invites you to join in a delightful dining experience on historic Seven Seas Wharf.  Offering traditional dining options as well as catering to your private function needs, there is something for everyone and every occasion. Further, since Gloucester thrives with summer tourists, there are even options for tour groups and motor coaches alike. Be sure to visit the Seven Seas Wharf link on your left to learn about the many Attractions our Gloucester, MA location offers.
