What they're known for

Its "Italian clam bar" concept — steamed clams, house-made pasta, and craft cocktails — in an upscale, speakeasy-styled room.

What makes it unique

The name winks at Prohibition speakeasies, but the concept is an old-school "Italian clam bar" — a Northeast tradition the owners transplanted to Lakewood Ranch.

The vibe

An upscale Italian "clam bar" in Lakewood Ranch — house pasta, steamed clams, and a serious cocktail program in a warm, Prohibition-styled room. A dinner-and-drinks spot, not a late-night bar.

What to order

Food: The steamed Ipswich clams are the signature (it's a clam bar, after all); the cioppino is the bigger seafood play ($$).

Drink: The cocktail list is the draw — a garden-to-glass program with past favorites like the "Penicillin" and "Manhattan Beach" ($–$$).
