    The very rich and decadent seafood laden Shrimp and Lobster with Vodka Sauce over linguine.
    Edmond C.

    Part 2 This is the second part to my review from eating at Randazzo's on Friday, under a week ago. While at Randazzo's, I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, the large Lobster Bisque, and the large New England Clam Chowder to go and this second review covers these three items. Previously, I had the large Spicy Crab Soup, the Combo with medium and hot sauce, and the gloriously rich Lobster and Shrimp with Vodka Sauce over linguine. The Lobster Bisque reminded me of the Spicy Crab Soup, both including lots of corn in the soup, with the lobster shredded into the bisque as was the crab. The Lobster Bisque was shorter on flavor than the Spicy Crab Soup. Though the corn adds texture and some satisfaction for the palate, this is no substitute for the actual lobster or crab meat for these two soups. The shredded lobster lent flavor to the bisque, but the Lobster Bisque is definitely the least appealing of the three soups offered at Randazzo's. Some lump crabmeat and lobster chunks are sorely wanting, but fortunately there are other dishes that make up for what these lack. Oyster crackers did not amp up the satisfaction for the lobster bisque in particular. The New England Clam Chowder was an improvement over the lobster bisque. It has the creamy milky broth desired, along with the potatoes and clam chunks and slices. No need to substitute corn here. I have had better NE Clam Chowder, but this is still good and the best of the three soup offerings. Parallel to my dine in experience, the pasta dish came to the rescue; though, that may be a little strong. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo over linguine again featured perfectly al dente pasta over which their red sauce is just as delicious as their red sauce over the calamari, mussels and scungilli. It's thick and coats all that linguine, with clams, shrimp, mussels, and slivers of garlic pushing the flavor factor up there. This is not as loaded with seafood and not as rich as the Lobster and Shrimp with Vodka Sauce, but it is plentiful and the bread cleans the plate nicely. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo gets a high rec from me. I would like to try their lobster roll and their scallops in garlic wine and butter. Randazzo's could amp up their soup offerings with more seafood meat chunks, but the calamari and pasta dishes are the sweet spot for Randazzo's. I'll be back as countless loyal patrons have returned before me. Four stars!

    It was like stepping into a time warp. To me, the place looked exactly like it did in the 80s which was probably the last time I was there. Our server was so typically Brooklyn which to me is a super-positive thing. Didn't get her name but pretty sure she said she was related to the owner. My friend had a plate of the cherry stones and I had the white mussels in the white sauce. We both agreed our dishes were wonderful. If decor is not important then this place is great! Definitely clean, just not fancy!

    My parents rave about Randazzo's, and for only good reason- they have been coming here for over 50 years. This is the food my mom craved while pregnant with me. I have to hear that this restaurant is the reason I love seafood so much. We walked in and we were seated right away. This place is on go mode as it gets extremely busy. Our server who was basically running laps to each table, came over to take our order. We had fried zucchini and calamari for the table. Fried, crispy and delicious. My father and I ordered the Pasta Marchiara. My husband ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. My mother ordered the combo appetizer. Every dish was fresh and amazingly good, just like your expect from a restaurant with this type of legacy. My husband cannot wait to go back.

    Some spots just get it right -- Randazzo's Clam Bar in Sheepshead Bay has been serving up seafood glory since 1963, and honestly, I think the sauce has more wisdom than half the guys I know. I grew up coming here as a kid, back when I thought "half and half" meant sharing fries with my brother. Now I know it means fried calamari and shrimp swimming in that legendary hot Randazzo sauce -- with a biscuit that's basically a trophy for finishing the plate. Topped it off with a bowl of lobster bisque so creamy it could've paid rent in Brooklyn and still had change left over. Some things shouldn't change -- like this place. Fresh, spotless, proud, and serving flavor since before most of us were even a thought. If you haven't been here yet... seriously, what are you waiting for? #randazzosclambar #brooklynfoodie #sheepsheadbay #seafoodlover #oldschoolflavor #nyceats #foodieinthebigapple2025 #masculineeats #calamari #lobsterbisque #classicsneverdie

    Shrimp Fra Diavolo on a Bed of Pasta

    Balancing food, service, and ambiance - this spot is a 3.8. We got the fried calamari, clam chowder & shrimp fra diavolo. Calamari - fresh, bouncy, and crisp, pairing well with the spicy marinara Chowder - it was good & generous in clams! Pasta - seafood & sauce were delicious & I wish the pasta never ended, cooked to perfect al dente The service really threw me off though, waited probably 20 minutes to get our order taken, was told there were no more pitchers for water so we had to pay for bottles (while tables coming in after we're getting pitchers), order was brought out incorrectly & it took another 10 minutes to get the server back to our table, and overall super inattentive. Getting the check & some to-go containers was also a crazy waiting game. This really soiled the experience from the otherwise tasty food.

    Randazzo's has been on my bucket list for years and finally had a chance to go after a round of golf at Marine Park. Blew all my expectations away! The hot sauce is to die for. The owner was also so friendly and gave our group a set of Randazzo's golf tees. Will definitely be coming back

    Best Fried Calamari  In BROOKLYN!!

    Finally got around to visiting Randazzo's Clam Bar and was really excited, especially after seeing it featured on an episode of Fck, That's Delicious* with Action Bronson. This place is definitely old school, so don't expect anything flashy. That said, the space is pretty roomy and has a retro diner feel to it. It did get a little crowded, while we were dining, so it definitely draws a crowd. We ordered a lot since it was our first time, but honestly, the food was just okay. The portions didn't really match the price, and overall, the dishes felt like they were missing something in the flavor department. Maybe we didn't order correctly...Nothing was terrible, just a little underwhelming. On the upside, the service was great. The staff checked in often and cleared plates quickly. Overall, I'm glad we got to check it off our list, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

    what can I say about Randazzo's that hasn't already been said? This spot is legit one of the absolute best seafood restaurants I've ever been to. I'm extremely particular about pasta and sauce and they never disappoint. They're famous hot marinara sauce is to die for, and cannot be duplicated. The softshell crab and zucchini fries were amazing, the zucchini fries were over the top, best ever! Does scungilli with hot sauce, wow pretty damn amazing. And of course, the famous calamari, really really good. I ordered a side of pasta with hot sauce on top and threw sime scungilli on top, I wish this was a dish on their menu. No matter what you order here you will never be disappointed, they consistently good. I've been coming here for over 30 years. If you've never been here before, what are you waiting for???

    New England clam chowder
    Larissa B.

    Came late on a Friday night, and they seated us right away. Coming to a clam bar, I knew we had to try raw clams. These were the best things we had at the restaurant and recommend them. The clams are the star of the show, with the little necks being thick and meaty. I was told these are smaller than the cherry stone clams, so I can't imagine the size of those! Next time we'll try. There's a lot of be missed with baked clams, it's mostly bready and I recommend sticking to steamed or raw. The clam chowder was standard, the shrimp diavolo was a huge portion with a good amount of seafood, but the pasta is overdone and there's nothing too special about the sauce. Stick to the clams!

    lobster roll with fries
    Paula L.

    Took my 83 year old mom for lunch today. it's been years since she's been here. she got a lobster roll with fries. She loved it. I was really in the mood for Alaskan King crab legs, and I splurged and went for it. It was really good. I was not able to get a side of pasta with it, which I find silly. I got the zucchini fries and ordered a side order of spaghetti with marinara sauce. I think when you're spending over $100 for an order of Alaskan king crab they should be able to give you a little spaghetti on the side instead of zucchini fries, but that's only my opinion. The waitress was awesome. The space is large and friendly. It's a solid place to go for seafood.

    I ordered one of my favorite pasta dishes.

    See all

    Ask the Community - Randazzo's Clam Bar

    Is is there a handicap accessible washroom wheelchair accessible?

    YES

    Wine? beer? Cocktails?

    Beer and wine only.

    What is the current status of indoor dining? I CANT WAIT TO COME BACK!!! Lol!!…

    No indoor dining as of yet here. However, come 9/30, NYC restaurants can begin indoor dining at 25% capacity, so the assumption is Randazzo's could follow suit.

    Do they have outdoor seating for the Summer?

    Yes
