chef christine lau brings memories of summer bliss to the forefront with the crispy noodles alle vongole.

“one summer, i was kayaking with family and friends when we discovered locals clamming [in cape cod] with their feet! my brother and i jumped in knee deep! so three pounds of linguine and clams later, with bowls licked clean, a tradition was born.”

this family tradition of summer clamming meets the childhood nostalgia of eating her favorite dish, hong kong style chow mein!

our ladyfish vongole is a pan-fried egg noodle coated in a rich white w**e clam sauce, topped with a generous sprinkle of parsley, and all the extra virgin olive oil your heart desires (Corto Olive).
this crispy and creamy delight exemplifies Christine Lau storytelling with every bite. come in and enjoy this dish before it departs for the season!
