Mspanngispan Clspanm Bspanr opened in the former Manatee Island Bar & Grill in Port Salerno late November.
Owner Dave Tranes wanted to bring a traditional, waterfront clam bar to Martin County, with fresh seafood and Italian fusion cuisine. Tranes believes the Italian twist sets him apart from the myriad other waterfront restaurants in the area.
Mangia Clam Bar has something for everyone, Tranes said, from raw seafood to handcrafted pizzas and more.

The most popular menu items so far have been the raw oysters (12 for $20) and raw clams (12 for $19.95). Specialty pizzas feature the House Special, topped with meatball, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions and olives; the Primavera, with broccoli, carrots, zucchini, squash, mushrooms and mozzarella; and the Spinach Delight, with spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, tomato and garlic. Prices vary based on size.
Italian entrees include meatball parmigiana ($18.95), chicken parmesan ($22.95) and veal Milanese ($25.95).
The restaurant also offers an early bird dinner special ($21.95) until 5:30 p.m. that includes one appetizer, entrée, side dish, dessert and drink from a limited menu.
Mangia Clam Bar is a family-friendly atmosphere where diners can relax and enjoy the views of Manatee Pocket. The restaurant has also slowly been rolling out nightly activities, such as trivia on Monday and karaoke on Tuesday nights.
