Randazzo's Clam Bar Randazzo's Clam Bar doesn't look like much, no table clothes, no host, and water comes in a disposable plastic cup, but they've got extremely fresh seafood, and that's enough for me. Little Neck Clams on the half shell were super fresh, pink, and meaty.

The Oysters were the best, served on the half shell, I've ever slurped down. The liquor was so clean, like a quick cleanse for your tongue, right before the slippery oyster slides across.

The fat and juicy Steamers were cooked perfectly, releasing it's mild juices for us to drink. Following my mother's lead, I added two tiny drops of tabasco to each steamer which was just the right kick with a hint of acidity.

The Linguine with White Clam Sauce was the most unadulterated version I've ever had. The chopped clams and linguine, paired only with garlic and parsley, sat in it's own juices, a preparation made possible by using only the freshest ingredients.

I have to admit, I was completely surprised, judging a book by it's cover, I expected oily, trucker style food. It was nothing like that at all, showing so much restraint, and just letting the fresh seafood shine for itself. The meal came out to $53, a bit expensive for lunch, but I think the prices are the same for dinner, and it's completely worth it.
