Nick & Toni's

You'll feel as if you're stepping into the Tuscan countryside when you enter this standard bearer for contemporary Italian dishes located at the edge of East Hampton Village. A large wood-burning oven takes center stage at Nick & Toni's, which features three dining rooms, each of which offers distinctly different dining environs, from romantic and intimate to chatty and bustling. You'll find Mediterranean and rustic Italian influences through the seasonally changing menu, which showcases the chef's organic garden and the bounty of local fishermen and farmers. Serving dinner daily and Sunday brunch, Nick & Toni's is celebrated for its homemade fresh pastas, hearty Tuscan meat dishes, and an inspired wine list. Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the housemade ricotta cavatelli with green apple, speck, and sage to the grilled veal T-bone with shaved sunchokes and seared gorgonzola polenta with wild mushroom and leek ragu. If you are looking for something less filling, try the wood-oven fired pizzettes with a refreshing salad, but be sure to save room for dessert, where authentic Tuscan recipes take center stage.
