Our official entry into the East Hampton scarecrow contest.

The Mad Maître D’

Long ago, he presided over a restaurant where every table was perfectly set and every guest was expected. Dressed in black, with his necktie pulled tight, the maître d’ remembered every name—and every insult.

Until one stormy evening, when a final reservation arrived.

There was no name. No number of guests. Just a message scrawled across the page:

Keep a table for me. I’ll come when the lights go out.

At midnight, the dining room fell dark. The staff fled. But the maître d’ lifted a lantern and went to greet his guest.

He was never seen alive again.

Now, a burlap face hides beneath his black hood, and skeletal fingers clutch the remnants of his former life: his old black necktie, a reservation book filled with frantic scribbles, and the lantern that never burns out.

Some say the names in his book belong to guests who never arrived. Others say they belong to those who never left.

Each evening, he waits by the entrance. If he finds your name, he raises his lantern and beckons you inside.

Follow closely. He’ll guide you to your table…or your doom!!

Working on this weekend’s desserts, and I’ve decided sprinkles should be measured the same way as garlic—with my heart!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re raising our glasses for a cause with our special Pinktini.

Made with Verità Italian Vodka, raspberry-infused lemonade, triple sec, and a splash of Prosecco, this cocktail will be featured all month long.

For every Pinktini ordered during October, Nini’s will donate $5 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in support of lifesaving research and the search for a cure.

Here’s to the incredible women fighting breast cancer, the survivors, the families who stand beside them, and the researchers working toward a future without this disease.

Come raise a glass with us this October. Every Pinktini makes a difference.

Tonight’s Appetizer Special

Fig Fondue

A little sweet, a little savory, and very Italian.

Homemade roasted fig marmalade topped with a rich blend of melted Italian cheeses and served warm with garlic crostini for dipping.

Perfect for sharing at the table… although we won’t blame you if you keep this one all to yourself.

Join us tonight at Nini’s Ristorante and give it a try while it lasts.
