"The Dish: Vongoli Riganati Joe’s of Avenue U serves Sicilian specialties like eggplant caponata, and softball-sized rice balls under a thick layer of tomato sauce and grated parmesan—but they also have delicious baked clams. They’re equal parts clam, breadcrumb, and oregano, in a pool of equally oregano-forward butter and lemon juice. Sop up the sauce with a basket of free bread, and wash it all down with a carafe of red wine." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
