Uncle Vinnie's Clam Bar

WOW!! The absolute most delicious seafood i have tried in town. When they say fresh, they are not joking! Even on a busy Friday evening we only waited 40 minutes for a table. Worth the wait!! Rich was so attentive and the absolute best. Everyone in there is so kind. The ambience was great and as a veteran & PNWestern seafood-lover myself, i found myself at home in this little corner of Raritan.

Awesome seafood spot in Raritan that brings in fresh fish daily. Ownership is present and greeting patrons with a big smile and warm welcome. While the menu can be a little pricey, the food is fantastic and worth every penny. Both the balsamic calamari and tuna steak were incredible!

Such a spectacular place. The drinks are amazing. They only use top shelf alcohol. Great Old Fashioned( muddled recipe for old schoolers), Manhattan, and Negroni. The fish is super fresh, specials are amazing. They also serve traditional Italian dishes. If you are addicted to fish and shellfish, this is a must. The special swordfish is delicious. Best flounder francese I’ve ever head.

A Raritan neighborhood spot, Uncle Vinnie’s is the Italian and seafood place to be. With no reservations, give yourself some grace on a Friday night with a little wait (although you can still get out in an hour). The staff is fast moving and super nice. They make a solid martini and have a full bar to leverage. The blue crab claw appetizer was fantastic - about 20 claws with their honey mustard (weird but really good). For our mains, we got linguine marinara with fried calamari (tons of lightly fried rings) and the penne pasta special which was Italian sausage, shrimp, and tuna with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. More meat than pasta which is a tough feat. Great meal. Excited to come back!

I’ve been here 5 or so times and have always had an excellent experience start to finish. Highly recommend the Ghost IPA for IPA lovers. Fresh oysters are always on point and we tried the lobster bisque which was also delicious. Both pictured entrees were delightful. They pack a decent amount of seating in despite it being a small restaurant. Just be prepared to wait a little since they don’t take reservations.
