Chef Joe Isidori will open Arthur & Sons in the Hamptons this May. The restaurant will pay homage in both menu and design to Chef Isidori’s experience growing up in New York’s restaurant industry. It will feature a rustic vibe with a ’90s hip-hop edge and a menu that transports guests back in time with “old school” Italian American red sauce classics.
“The Hamptons has always been a second home for me. I spent many of my early years of my career working in the Hamptons. I have always had a true love and passion for all things out east, so it’s nice to bring a piece of my personal heritage to the community for all to experience,” shared Isidori, an acclaimed chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and co-founder of Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beers.
A tribute to his family’s three generations in the New York restaurant industry and the new sister restaurant to the popular West Village location, Chef Isidori takes on the classic Italian-American dishes he grew up preparing and eating, a mix of family recipes and new dishes. Guests can expect to see classics and signature appetizers such as meatballs with ricotta, Caesar salad, fried calamari, baked clams oreganata, and sausage and peppers with shaved provolone, with prices ranging from $17 to $28. Entrees range from $29 to $45, with highlights including spicy rigatoni alla vodka, chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, spaghetti carbonara, and veal marsala.
Created by Chef Isidori, the Arthur & Sons wine list features a crafted selection from producers such as Brunello di Montalcino and Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido, as well as classic Italian wines including Sartori, Giovanni Rosso, and Vermentino di Sardegna. Red, white, rosé, and sparkling house wines are available by the glass and bottle. The cocktail menu showcases twists on favorites such as the espresso martini, limoncello spritz, and Johnny Lum’s Mai Tai. A selection of mocktails features Italian lemonade, pineapple tiki punch, and a phony negroni.
The design aims to provide an “old school, new school” feel while leaning into rustic tones to help reflect a Hamptons vibe. It features vintage Tiffany lights, red candles, and Rat Pack-era artwork and photos. The restaurant will seat 70, with an additional 15 at the bar, while an outdoor patio will seat 30 in warmer months.
Arthur & Sons is located at 203 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton and is open daily from 4 PM to 2 AM. The restaurant will be open year-round. For more information, visit arthurandsonsnyc.com.
