Wood-oven Italian-Mediterranean fare, celebrity favorite, zucchini fritti
"Right off of Main Street, you cannot miss dining at Nick & Toni’s. As a big fan of both Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, this restaurant combines both in a chic farmhouse ambience. You simply cannot go wrong with any of the main dishes—but whatever you do, don’t leave without ordering the fried zucchini chips." - Elise Taylor
"An East Hampton staple for over 37 years, this is the spot for a classic Tuscan meal—think wood-fired pizzas, lumache with ramp pesto, and pan-seared halibut—along with excellent people-watching at one of the most popular celebrity haunts out east." - Elise Taylor
"An Italian-inspired restaurant in a Tuscan-style farmhouse setting that prioritizes freshness with daily whole fish and a daily market catch that are always local, fired in a wood oven, and served with seasonal sides like sunchoke purée, pearl onion agrodolce, and baby fennel. “A lot of people don't realize most food travels about 1,500 miles before hitting a plate,” says Joe Realmuto, executive chef of Honest Man Hospitality, which owns the restaurant. “Branzino, for example, is a farm-raised fish from Europe that has to travel halfway around the world before getting to you. Why not get a fish that comes from just miles away?”" - Adam H. Callaghan
"A local staple since 1988, this Tuscan restaurant is always full of friends and families enjoying wood-fired pizzas and dishes like the catch of the day dressed in olive tapenade. Come for wine and a farm-to-table menu seamlessly merging local produce with pastas like housemade ricotta cavatelli. Reservations are easy to make for groups of up to 10, and groups of 11-20 can book a $125 per person prix-fixe on the covered back patio. There’s no kids’ menu, and strollers and pets aren’t allowed, so expect a more rule-following crowd that’s still eager to get after some rosé and spaghetti." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
"I often find Nick & Toni’s in East Hampton to be a magnet for movie and rock stars; Alec Baldwin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Spielberg, and Robert De Niro are among the entertainment-world names who can be seen there, especially during premieres and the height of the social season." - Jay McInerney
