Yay Sag Pizza!

Located in what was once the beloved pizza joint Conca D'Oro in Sag Harbor, Sag Pizza has established itself as one of the .   The pizza is sublime with the Vongole pizza featuring clams being a particular favorite of Lynn's.  However, what has really captivated Lynn and I have been the appetizer offerings of Mediterranean Octopus with fingerling potato and cured olives and the Calamari Fritti which is generously portioned and accented with shards of zucchini. 

Sag Pizza has a reasonable and accessible wine list with local offerings from Wolfer Vineyards among others.  The energy is relaxed and it is the rare Long Island  eatery  that  has the innate flexibility to be both a family place and a date place.

Lucharitos brings wit and great Mexican fare to Long Island's North Fork

Lucharitos in Aquebogue is one of a group of "Lucharito's" that dot the East End/North Fork of Long Island (an exception being a location in Melville. The locations have become known for their reasonable and fresh Mexican inspired fare and, equally known for their witty and cheerful decor with Luchador Wrestling masks being central to the interior decoration.

We recently dined at the location in Aquabogue after many restaurants that we frequented were still closed or had limited opening due to a serious snowstorm that paralyzed much of Long Island the previous day. 

Lynn had tacos (one with Duck and one with fried scallops).  I had "Frida's Salad" overflowing with corn, cabbage and other vegetables finished off with fried scallops.  

The fried scallops were without a doubt the best, sweetest and juiciest we have had (and we have had some excellent ones over the years).  Our bartender was attentive and friendly discussing the NFL playoffs and where the next outpost of Lucharitos might land (seemingly Riverhead).

Lynn and I have had hit and miss experiences with Mexican fare, but Lucharitos seems to be a restaurant that will go into our heavy rotation for our dining favorites...
