It can rightly be said that fried calamari was the dish that made Vincent’s Clam Bar famous. Lightly breaded and fried, piled high and dipped in their tangy tomato sauce, we can’t resist the crispy rings (and tentacles) of squid, a perfect snack with a beer. Some like them steamed over pasta, but either way, Vincent’s is the place.

What is it with Vincent’s? Do they force all of their employees to vote for them in these surveys or threaten to fire them?
