Nick & Toni’s
East Hampton
As we already mentioned, Nick & Toni’s has been a neighborhood staple for the last few decades. This Italian eatery is probably one of the most famous restaurants for locals, and if you know, you know.
Nick & Toni’s will host a $125 prix-fixe menu from February 16 through February 18 this Valentine’s Day. Take it from us. You and your date will want to take advantage of a three-course menu from a restaurant known for having some of the best desserts globally.
Sant Ambroeus
East Hampton & Southampton
Opened by two Milanese pastry chefs in 1936, Sant Ambroeus took little time to gain a following in New York. With shops in SoHo and Madison Avenue, Sant Ambroeus is flashy but still holds its pastry past close to its heart. Like its New York locations, the Southampton and East Hampton locations are the perfect date spot or place to be seen.
Pro tip: for the perfect Valentine’s night, splurge a little on the cocktails and head to the desserts. The White Chocolate Strawberry Dome, for instance, is exceptionally exquisite.
