Upon a second visit to this Sag Harbor village gem, I felt the need to put fingers to keys and pen a review for all to know. Driving north on Rt. 114 from East Hampton to Sag Harbor, you pass miles and acres of farm land, pine trees and homes, mostly empty because of the weather and time of year. When you arrive in Sag Harbor, just over the hill into town, you notice Christmas tree decorations, movement and the hope of some kind of human activity. We found this activity at Tutto Il Giorno on the Eve of New Year's Eve.
I noticed the lights on the sign hanging on the front of the building and said to Guy, "MAKE A LEFT!" We turned around and made our way to a welcoming sight; people laughing, a roaring fireplace and a few friendly faces who would bring us wonderful food and wine during the next ninety minutes.
Dinner started with rock shrimp and calamari lightly fried with a marinara dipping sauce and beef carpaccio with caper berries, cheese crisp and shredded zucchini. Entrees included grilled swordfish with caramelized cauliflower and micro greens and the wonderful rigatoni with sweet sauce, peas, carrots in a light red sauce. Yummy. Dessert complimented the meal with a light, fluffy pana cotta served coated with raspberry sauce and chiffonade of fresh mint. Yummy. Find this place and go. TAKE US WITH YOU!
Happy New Year!
From Mr. B in NYC!
