With just under 20,000 residents, Scituate acts as both a hidden gem and a bustling seaside community. It provides constant excitement and entertainment for its residents while maintaining a sense of neighborliness. Take a stroll with a delicious ice cream cone along the seaside walkways or plan to celebrate any number of life’s occasions at a top-tier restaurant found downtown. Whether you love fine dining complete with extensive wine lists or casual, inviting eateries full of American fare and cheer, your needs will be met—and surpassed—at Scituate. Even better, because the community is so close to Boston, there’s an easy-going vibe thanks to the easy commutes. Work and play commingle beautifully in this lively seaside suburb.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Pubs, taverns, steak houses, ice cream shops, and more. Scituate has something for every palate, and each is more delicious than the last. Locals can make a reservation at a historic mainstay before visiting a cute bakery for dessert.

Scituate might be a prime example of New England's excellence, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have creative and international cuisine. Salt Society proves that with its innovative and delicious sushi, along with other Japanese dishes. On the other hand, for a pub atmosphere in one part and fine dining in another, make a reservation or grab a seat at The Barker Tavern, a delicious and top-tier restaurant.

Looking for some essential American fare? Check out Scituate’s own The Rivershed. Here, it’s easy to enjoy crispy fries, perfectly-prepared burgers, and a long menu of craft beers. For a dessert or light fare, or just to taste some iconic ice cream, simply stop by Dribbles Ice Cream Shop.
