Cutchogue Diner

$

Originally opened as Glovers' in 1941, this North Fork staple serves up good, old-fashioned home cooking: omelets, burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, and turkey dinners until 3 pm daily. Wines from neighboring vineyards are offered, and the fresh, local pies are alone worth a visit.

Touch of Venice

$$$

Fans of this restaurant say that it really is a little piece of Italy, from its casual rustic-style interior to its Venetian-inspired dishes and specials like the pasta with octopus ink sauce, tagliatelle with seafood and preserved lemons, and Tuscan-style New York Strip with olive oil, lemon, oregano, and broccoli rabe. If you're inspired by the local wine culture, you'll be pleased with the extensive wine selection, stored in its temperature-controlled, glass enclosed wine room.
