Il Pellicano Southampton at Bijoux
The hotspot that had been Blu Mar is now under the management of KyKy Conille for a Hamptons version of Il Pellicano, his restaurant, and Bijoux, his lounge, in Little Italy. Rocco DiSpirito will be the chef. Mr. Conille says that the restaurant and Mr. DiSpirito, who is a partner, will remain in place, like the local corn, well beyond the summer season. The menu leads with seafood, some of which suggests Little Italy. Dimitri Hyacinthe has redone the rooms with more elegance.
