Citta Nuova
With its decidedly contemporary Italian flair, Citta Nuova is situated right in the center of East Hampton's shopping district—but if you squint, you can see the Vespas lined up outside and the trendsetters of Milan canoodling inside. Crisp, modern, and energetic, this northern Italian-inspired trattoria serves lunch and dinner daily. Start off by choosing from the extensive antipasto selections of pillowy burrata and blistered tomatoes, warm grilled octopus with a ceci celery vinaigrette, or an inventive salad. The classic prosciutto crudo Panini features San Daniele prosciutto, stracchino cheese, and peppery arugula dressed with white truffle oil. The primi pasta course is offered as petite or full plates featuring rustic preparations of orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sweet fennel sausage, ragu bologonese, and fettuccini mushroom ragu. Hearty main courses feature such classics as veal scallopini, chicken Milanese, and an all-natural grain-fed strip steak. Arrive early to get a table, as this is a popular meeting place all year long. Come warmer weather, the dining spills out into the courtyard, making this the perfect people watching-venue in the shopping district.
