Lenny’s Italian Sampler for 3-4

This pack includes everything you need to bring the full Lenny’s Clam Bar experience into your home: legendary Baked whole Clams, fresh Seafood Salad, and a homemade Italian Ricotta Cheesecake!

Tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Howard Beach, Queens, Lenny’s Clam Bar has become a beloved local landmark since Italian immigrant Joseph DeCandia first opened its doors back in 1974. Lenny’s quickly developed a reputation for great seafood and Italian-American classics, and a series of commercials featuring DeCandia made it a household name in New York. Today run by Joseph DeCandia, Jr., Lenny’s remains one of the most iconic restaurants in Queens.
