Customer Reviews
Once a year I try to hit New Englan for my favorite dish Fried Clams with Bellies. Unfortunately, Costello's did not meet my simple requirements. The clams seemed to be under-battered and not fried long enough. However the Warm Lobster Roll was fantastic, as was the cole slaw side. The sweet potato fries not great, so the best that I can give is 4 out of 5 stars for food. The service was good you have to order before entry and pick up the food on your own. The location at the Marina was great also.

Stopped by for some waterfront views and dining. You order at a window and then pick up at a separate window. Fried clam bellies were fresh and pretty sweet. My favorite dish by far was probably the steamers. Quality and quantity was very good for the price. We got the fish tacos too, which was ok, but wouldn't go out of my way to get again. Seating is first come first served. Orders took a while to come out. Bathrooms are available on the premise but they only have two one toilet bathrooms. Overall, good place to come on a nice summer day and settle down with a heaping pile of steamers.
Dissatisfied with the food. Ordered the CCC dinner meal. I choose clam strips, fried scallops, and coconut shrimp. Meal came with French fries & coleslaw. For $26 not worth it!! Waited an hour and 15 minutes for my food. Food was served to me cold & did not taste good. Was not going to wait to have another Oder made as i waited long enough. Other than that, the atmosphere was gorgeous & staff was friendly.
Nice place for lobster & some clams, on the water with only outdoor seating. They don’t serve any alcohol but I seen people brought there own wine. My wife had the the lobster roll & it was so good she ordered another one to go. Also had the fried belly clams, clam strips & fried calamari, everything was good. French fries are excellent.
