How many tasteless things can one pile on a small plate?
I had lunch at Randazzo's on a quiet day when the 4 waitresses were busy chatting loudly at the next table about whether to do a double shift. Mine was responsive when I waived at her. Problems were in the presentation and price. Imagine 12 little neck clams served on a too-small plate, virtually piled on one another, with three teenie cheap plastic containers on top with cocktail sauce, horseradish, 2 lemon quarters and no side plate. However for the $14 price, you do get a wooden Popsicle-like two pronged fork that is too thick and improperly shaped to pick up the clams. Now for the piece de resistance -- a $19.95 overly-breaded tasteless fried shrimp melee piled helter-skelter on a mini-plate with a small baked potato, and an array of peel-the-top-off 1/2 inch sized throw-away containers, several with butter, 2 Kraft tarter sauces (how insulting!), a sour cream, all tossed together falling off the plate again, no side plate. They did not have lime for my bottle of Corona ($5 was ok), but offered lemon. The beer was served "en bottle" with a small plastic cup. In all, the clams, shrimp, beer, and tax and $5 tip came to over $40 (I think, because they did not take credit cards or give a receipt). I left Randazzo's a poorer man, not only because the poor quality-taste ratio, but also because I had one more disappoiting lunch in my life. But I hear the sauce is great!

Disappointing
Randazzo's is so overrated! for the price that I paid for a meal for two, I definitely expected something more delicious. the lobster was over cooked. the mussels and clams were just okay. nothing spectacular. i would definitely never return!

Best athentic seafood italian style
One of the best places that you could go to friquently and enjoy great food. Seafood by Italians. Shrimp mid or hot sause is a given. Lobster is great. Calamare melts in the mouth. Atmosphere a more italian then seafood but it works for this part of Brooklyn. View is great and the bay surprisingly does not smell like fish. Soup, have 2 cups rather then one bowl. Spicy crab and Lobster bisque.

Great seafood
I always order the chowders and they are all good especially the spicy crab chowder. I enjoyed the white and the red clam sauce, the baked cherrystones, and calamari. I hate the fact that their sodas are the teeny tiny glass bottles. I never understood the rationale behind that. The service can be better. Wait staff can be a bit rude at times. Be prepared to wait on Saturday nights.
