SEDUTTO’S ICE CREAM: Childhood memories may be awakened for some by the name of Sedutto’s Ice Cream. The extra rich, delicious creation began in Staten Island in the 1920’s and has finally come to Huntington. Across the street from the movie theater, set back at 52 Wall Street, Sedutto’s has just opened in time for the warm months. We’re betting the popular ice cream parlor emporiums that dot Manhattan will become a favorite of locals here. Try their mint chocolate chip!

WINE & DINE: Pairing fine wines with fine dining is hardly a new idea. But Indigo Restaurant in Huntington adds a new twist to the concept with a May 4 event celebrating the wines of Bogle Vineyards. For $75 a person, diners at Indigo will enjoy a five course meal, each paired with a specially chosen Bogle wine. The evening will also feature Bogle’s Robbie LaBlanc, an award-winning musician and guitarist who – between songs – will share his knowledge of the Bogle wines being served.

PRIX FIXE: Jonathan’s Ristorante (15 Wall Street 549-0055) has announced a new three-course prix fixe for $29 offered all night, Sunday through Wednesday. The special menu includes the following choices -- first course: pei mussels; acqua pazza; calamari fritti; Caesar salad

SECOND COURSE: linguini with sweet sausage and broccoli rabe; salmon with horseradish/cream sauce and baby root vegetables; polletto al mattone

DESSERT: flourless chocolate cake; ice cream.

MICHAEL ROSS: Fans of the former Fiddleheads of New York Avenue can find chef/owner Michael Ross mixing his magic at The Wreck in Port Washington. Ross is the head chef at the restaurant owned by the group that owns The Woodlands, The Mansion at the Woodlands on the Oyster Bay Golf course, H.R. Singleton’s in Bethpage and Thom Thom’s in Wantagh. The executive chef of the group is Tom Shaudel of Huntington’s Rockfish and Syosset’s Coolfish. The Wreck offers a wonderful variety of creative fish dishes. Go visit old friend Michael and tell him The Long-Islander Foodie sends regards.

BESITO, the new Mexican eatery by the Tunney boys of Blue Honu just hit the jackpot with an “excellent” in the New York Times Sunday Long Island Section. Times foodie Joanne Starkey, who is usually stingy with her compliments, loved this one.
