Setting and restaurant are nice, the service is less than average, and the food is abo average. I recommend sitting in the back courtyard if you can as it is nice. Pricey for what you get. I would return if needed since the location is so great and convenient, but it is certainly not a place I really want to... More

Not what I expected as I walked in, but it's nice. Sort of sports bar up front and modern dining room with outdoor seating in the rear. Not sure what style they have in mind. Not at all busy as it was mid-week in May. Service was a touch pretentious and very slow and at one point one of our... More

My family and I eat here in the winter months . Can be crowed in the summer months. Food is always good. Service is great. Fun atmosphere and easy with children.

Okay, the scene here is rather obnoxious. (Could they pleeeeze turn off the television sets blaring by the bar? You can see them from across the street.) Most of the clientele you kind of want to give a little smack: It's very "see my shopping, shopping, shopping in the Hamptons?!"-ish. Lots of expensive handbags and loudness. However. The food? It's... More

After returning to Cittanuova I must change my review. We went back about 7 months after our original visit and everything was completely different. I don't know if they got new management or new chefs but the food was great and the service was 100% better. We go out to the Hamptons about 4 times a year and normally eat... More

The decor here is lovely and it's a nice place to stop in any time of year. If you're just looking for a bright and energetic place for a glass of wine with friends at the bar, there is a friendly banter at their bar. If you're ordering apps, the grilled octopus is a favorite but be mindful that the... More

One of our favorite spots in the Hamptons. The minestrone soup is so fresh and tasty; the linquine with clams perfect with just the right amount of garlic; the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe with a bit of red pepper and lovely sauce, sausage pizza with great crust -- have never had a single negative dish. Wine is served... More

Food can be very good, it just always has a funny smell in this place. Plus the front is a local sports bar feel and the back is Siberia.

Went in for some wine and appetizers around 4 pm and the manager quickly told us that there was no food served yet. We waited for table service in the bar but after 10 minutes walked up to the bar and ordered a bottle ourselves. Wine was a little overpriced but what ruined it was they gave water glasses for...

If you enjoy throngs of people on a crowded street, in and outdoor dining, a busy bar, and a fun crowd, you'll love this spot. Food is not the main event.
