"A “real Brooklyn joint” – “packed” and “boisterous” with lotsa “local color” – this “iconic” Sheepshead Bay clam bar is beloved for its “simple”, “fresh” seafood plus “red-sauce” classics." Full review

"Famed for its spicy, secret-recipe tomato sauces—and kitschy neon lobster sign—Randazzo's has been a fixture in the area for more than 75 years." Full review
