Adorable little Italian restaurant! Perfect for a lunch date! Must get the margarita pizza and Cesar salad which they make their own dressing for it!
Energetic atmosphere, service was good, and food was well prepared and tasty. Definitely will be back.
One of the best restaurants I have ever been to in the hamptons the environment was so welcoming. Starting from the hostesses, followed by the service. Chicken Milanese was extraordinary, as well as the calamari, and polpo insalata.
Tomato Carpaccio! It was love at first sight! Definitely try it! It's a masterpiece, ripe juicy tomatoes and Greek yogurt!
Beautiful bar. Always busy. Great menu. And also a refreshing Hampton atmosphere.
Best Italian food in East Hampton. A lot of people compare this one to Sant Ambreous up the street, but I think this one is better. The atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in an old Italian place in the city. Service is really good and efficient. Food is fresh and there are a lot of options to choose from. You can walk in during lunch on most days, but I recommend a reservation if you're coming for dinner. Portions are also fairly large, so I recommend coming hungry or splitting. Can get really busy on weekends, so a little wait is normal. I like the outside seating because it's sheltered from the street with the high bushes and hedges, along with there being a good breeze on summer nights.
Every dish was very tasty and well cooked. The meatball starter had a really nice mix of meats and the marinara was great. The steak was cooked to perfection and the side of Brussels was really well seasoned with Modena. Thoroughly enjoyed the food in Cittanuova and I would highly recommend to give it a try. The staff were also nice and professional.
Delightful lunch outdoors. Highly recommend their Octopus appetizer. Other nice dishes include the Bolognese pasta, Kale pizza and chocolate bread pudding (enough for two). Their Americano was watery, but all else enjoyable.
Great place, reasonable prices. Several seating areas for different moods. Outdoor seating overlooking the street, dining room seating, and in the rear of the restaurant is another semi-outdoor dining area with a waterfall for ambiance. Food was great. The ministrone soup was fantastic, and the rice balls were excellent. Veal piccatta was also great. Great location in East Hampton, and the service was great. We'll be going back again soon.
Many times you read reviews and say not sure. But my wife and I were very happy with our entire night. Our server Danny was absolutely amazing. We asked about the differences between a few entrees and his description was spot on. Was also checking in on us and never had to wait for anything except the check since he wanted us to enjoy our time out. Would go back again.
