Description

At this Bronx branch of the Little Italy place where Colombo crime family capo Joey Gallo was rubbed out, stick with the seafood done in the style of southernmost Italy-including Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily. You'll never taste a better seafood salad: shrimp, conch, and squid gobbed with megatons of garlic. As with many of the seafood salads and red-sauced entrées at Umbertos Clam House, it arrives inscrutably accompanied by a pair of very hard biscuits, which must be softened in the remaining dressing or sauce. Umberto's famous seafood-dipping sauce comes in mild, medium, and hot varieties; the latter is hot enough to sear flesh.

  • 2008 | Best Fried Clams

    Robert Sietsema: The Littlenecks fry up crisp, rubbery, tendrilous, profuse, and ungreasy at Umberto's Clam Bar. I prefer the Bronx branch, which boasts a barn-like dining room and pretty tables out on the street that make the place look almost Parisian, at the quintessential Belmont corner of 188th and Arthur Avenue. Squeeze on the lemon and prepare to chew! Sarah DiGregorio: At Bigelow's Fried Clams, juicy, big-bellied Ipswitch clams are sizzled in the fryers behind the counter to orde... More »

  • 2007 | John Gotti Jr.'s Last Meal

    The mini-don doubtlessly loves seafood prepared in the Italian manner, and there's no better place in town for it than Umberto's on Arthur Avenue in Belmont, which I like better than the one in Manhattan's Little Italy. He can sit outside on a sunny afternoon and enjoy the lemony seafood salad of squid, conch, and shrimp, then go on to the deep-fried shrimp balls with super-hot marinara dipping sauce, served with rock-hard Sicilian toasts. But hey, dude, better watch your back, because... More »
