Celeste’s spaghetti alle vongole is really one of those dishes that sustains my being. I crave it all the time. When I used to live on the UWS, I would have it at least once a week. This is not a fancy dish, but Celeste makes it well and consistently. The clams are fresh, the parsley and garlic add flavor and the spaghetti is cooked to a perfect al dente. I love Celeste’s home-style cooking and reasonable prices. For $9.50, this is a steal and a craving that I will remember to my death.
