Hamptons restaurant intel

→ SOUTHAMPTON: Nightclub maven Kyky Conille is scheduled to open a new Italian restaurant next week: Il Pellicano, in the former Blu Mar/Nello’s space, with an Italian seafood-centric menu by (checks notes) Rocco DiSpirito! The back of the space will be a Hamptons version of the cocktail bar and bottle-service club Bijoux.

→ BRIDGEHAMPTON: Viral milkshake king Joe Isidori, formerly of Black Tap Burgers, is opening a branch of his West Village red sauce Italian joint Arthur & Sons. It’s slated to open next week in the former Wild Rose Cafe/Zigmund’s space on Sag Harbor Turnpike.

→ EAST HAMPTON: The group behind East Hampton’s Sí Sí have teamed up with real estate developer Adam Potter to recast the erstwhile Rowdy Hall space into classic French boîte Village Bistro, raclette cheeseburger in tow. Just a stone’s throw away, by the train station, Cedric Vongerichten is taking over Buttero for a summer residency, a mashup of his two Nolita Indonesian restaurants, Wayan and Ma•dé. A bit further north at 44 Three Mile Harbor, West Village Roman pie slinger Little Charli is moving into the notorious nightclub space that’s lived past lives as Philippe and SL East (among others).  

→ MONTAUK: California hotel group Proper Hospitality marks its East Coast debut with a major facelift of 4500 square foot Montauk Yacht Club. The redo includes an extension of chef Jarad McCarroll’s Ocean Club St Barths. (Notes a FOUND correspondent, “Walked over there this weekend, and there’s a solid boutique and coffee shop, which is a good sign.”) In the former Le Fin space on West Lake Drive, N’AMO, a seafood and raw bar also from the Sí Sí team, is set to debut next week. And Ruschmeyer's is back this season, with the Puerto Rican New American fusion restaurant, Placēbō, and a leopard-decorated speakeasy, Don Jaguar’s. –Kat Odell
