Eater: The menu features East Coast seafood favorites. Look for cherrystone clams stuffed with pancetta, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and peanuts, fried rice with seafood and pork belly.
Olivia Oran: Spaghetti with clams is a must. We also loved the scallop crudo and the little neck clams in broth.
Chris Pollone: The fried clams and lobster sandwich might be one of the best dishes in the city. Clam spaghetti was very good as well.

7th.List: The place feels like a lively night downtown, circa 1958. Classics include linguine & clams, veal Parmesan, chicken scarpariello & lobster fra diavolo. Full Menu - http://goo.gl/IkIR5 Read more.
danielle: Assorted Baked Clams, Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Scarpariello, Polenta Torrisi (best ever), Funghi Trifolati all amazing! (skip the Crispy Rabe)
GQ Magazine: From the same trio behind Torrisi Italian Specialties, Parm, and ZZ’s Clam Bar, all the tropes of the classic Italian-American red sauce joints are at play, but better than you’ve ever had.

jake furst: The clams, kale, gnocchi and lemon broth app is excellent (and an interesting combo). Pork was very good, and much better than the flank steak.
Derek Kan: Their duck breast and butter clam gnocchi is off the hook
amoolia: I ordered the crispy duck, really solid entree but the apps/sides really stuck with me. Get the butter clams w/ gnocchi and must try the brussels sprouts! Hudson Mule is great cocktail to start with.
