Although the new Sant Ambroeus in East Hampton has opened only recently, it has hit the ground running with a winning formula of food, service, and atmosphere that it employs in several restaurants in the United States and Milan.

Exotic ingredients abound on the New Year's Eve menus at the 1770 House, Nick and Toni's, Rowdy Hall, and Almond.

A range of holiday offerings from Tutto il Giorno, K Pasa, Carissa's Bakery, Luigi's Italian Specialties, and, farther afield, Insatiable Eats in Riverhead and Canoe Place Inn in Hampton Bays, plus a Springs Brewery pop-up in Sagaponack.

A house at 668 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike was already engulfed in flames by the time firefighters reached the scene on Saturday night.
