refinery29August 3, 2014Skip the pasta and go straight for the seafood here: Octopus, baked clams, or our personal favorite, a chilled, Southern Italian-style seafood salad of shrimp, squid, and garlic. Read more
Miguel LopezSeptember 25, 2016Surprisingly fresh baked clams at what you'd think was a cheesy "Little Italy" joint. So fresh you tasted the seawater. Great Bloody Mary, too. Veal Parm was decent.
Christina RosadoJanuary 26, 2015The mussels marinara is great! Very tomatoey tomato sauce. The broccoli with garlic side is also very good.
David SimpsonNovember 22, 2014Veal Picatta is terrific and of course great clams raw or steamed. Summertime has outdoor seating.
- Jack GashiJanuary 15, 2015This is where Crazy Joe Gallo got shot while he was eating spaghetti, 10 months after putting out a hit on Joe Colombo
Haley KayeJuly 16, 2017Good food but don't be fooled by the "free wine and sangria"--it's only the first round, which they neglect to tell you.
Zachariah RobertsMarch 18, 2012Here on vacation, best Italian food ever. Try the 'pollo parmaseano". So nice staff and you can sit outside to people watch. :)
Bobby KennedyJanuary 2, 2016Don't let the man out front in the absurd white fur coat hustle your parents into eating here. You can make better food at home.
Christian ShacktonDecember 10, 2013Ask for free desert otherwise it probably won't be worth it. Calamari with linguine was chewy and did not taste worth the 23 bucks. Pizza was decent not too many complaints there. Overall okay service
KirstenNovember 28, 2012The mussels made me violently ill the next day. I eat seafood+Italian a lot and I was very disappointed. Our waiter was very surly as well. The only good thing I have to say, is the sangria was great.
MaryAnn SojaSeptember 7, 2016Do NOT order pizza or Caesar salad- store bought crust and soggy greens. Pitiful- regrets that we didn't go next door or any other place on the street.

Dan AliottaNovember 6, 2013Calamari and spaghetti was not good. Tasted old. Penne Vodka was good but small portions and I've had much better and bigger portions at my local pizzeria/restaurant
- KirstenMay 20, 2018Service is awful. The food actually made me sick the next morning, first time I have ever had food poisoning. Hands down one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant.
Brian FosterNovember 23, 2010Great seafood and not your typical NYC price either. It is very reasonable.
Christopher RamroopSeptember 26, 2010A waiter dropped a plate of Shrimp Scampi and broke it all over the sidewalk. It smelled so good, I said I'd like to order that. It was just frabjous.
Hilary TopperJuly 26, 2009If you want really good seafood, fried or grilled, and don't want to spend a lot of $$$$ check out this Point Lookout gem!
Russ YapMarch 28, 2014Food was ok. The service was a little suspect. Especially the bartender/waiter...kind of a bad attitude.
Al FriedmanApril 6, 2013Avoid the fried clams. WAY too chewy. Place is a landmark, but the quality has slipped in the last few years.
Andrew NottelmanAugust 2, 2013Worst food I've ever had!!! I actually and literally took two bites and asked for the check.
Kristina MarkovicMay 31, 2013Worst service I've ever experienced in my life. I've never seen slower working people don't come here. bread was moldy
Allie McCormackSeptember 23, 2011I was not impressed, and the lobster bisque upset my stomach. Not worth the money.
