Just like Little Italy in New York City
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was raised in New York and got to Little Italy every chance I got. My absolutely favorite dish to eat there was Clams... Oreganata. It was a contest to see which restaurant served the best. I don't have to wonder anymore. Giana's Clams Oreganata win the prize!Read more

Not the best I've had, I didn't use the mint, not really a fan, next time I won't use so much bread crumbs, I had a lot left... over, and too much on the clams.Read more

No Mint, please!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Nobody liked the mint in this dish and so it was a waste of time to make it. Next time I'll try it without. Maybe it is an... acquired taste.Read more
