What to order: Baked Clams · Linguini with White Clam Sauce · Veal Don PeppeFrom Google Maps reviews.
I love this place. Old school in the best way. Some of the best Italian food I've eaten. More Mediterranean than heavy red sauce, lasagna, etc. . Grilled octopus white bean salad, baked clams, clams on white sauce, roasted peppers with marinara, chicken and peppers, veal with brushetta. Family style. I was in a food coma.
I was on business in Queens and someone recommended that we should go there. When we arrived it looked like it was closed, but it was open. A great family owned Italian (Napoli) restaurant since 1968! No menu, the items are listed in the wall in the back. Our waiter from Albania (worked there for 10 years, as great). He recommended baked clams (excellent) and stuffed mushrooms (really good). We ordered Veal Marsala and Veal Parmgiana - both fantastic. No hard liquor available, but good Italian W
I rarely leave negative reviews, but our recent meal was disappointing for our table of 5. Judging by the quality and presentation of the food the focus here is for the kitchen to quickly clear orders. The Baked Clams for $34 were unfortunately mushy, consisting of wet - rather than being properly toasted - breadcrumbs in a pool of butter and garlic. The $31 house salad was bland, featuring entirely flavorless olives. How does that happen? The Chicken Scarpariello ($40), like other reviewers
