Umbertos Clam House - A long-standing New York fixture, Umberto's Clam House at 386 Broome St in Manhattan's Little Italy has been serving the neighborhood locals and even some big names that have passed through its doors. "'To this day, as we go into the new millenium, as recently as in the past few months, people such as Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorcese, Michael Douglass and Bette Midler continue to come back because of the food and the fact that Umberto’s captures the true flavor of Little Italy in every way,' mentioned Ianniello. 'Ultimately, it’s our unpretentious ambience and professional service, combined with the fact that we provide the freshest, most authentic product possible–all at a very reasonable price–that counts.' Umberto’s full menu of Italian seafood specialties, traditional ocean fare, pastas, steaks and chops, is available by clicking here. Umberto’s original offerings of red and white clam sauces, in hot, medium or sweet varieties over an assortment of pastas are still among its most requested dishes. Umberto’s sauces are painstakingly simmered for hours, fresh, each day. Just as they were when they were first served on Umberto's Clam House tables in 1972. Originally, Umberto was opposed to serving anything other than seafood at his establishment. But, sometime around 1996, specially prepared steaks and chops found their way onto the restaurant’s menu."
