Sag Harbor ’s sleepy restaurant scene is waking up.
Doppio East — the fourth Doppio Artisan Bistro restaurant — is opening in the space that once housed Madison & Main at 126 Main St.
The spacious 2,500-square-foot eatery will seat 100 inside, with 15 seats at the bar, and up to 50 people outside.
The Italian restaurant, from executive chef Louis Barresi and partner Thomas Pescuma, comes shortly after Doppio West Village opened in 1,500 square feet at 581 Hudson St.
The chain started three years ago with Doppio Greenwich in Connecticut, followed by Long Island’s Doppio Huntington last year and French restaurant Barrique in Stamford, Conn.
Adding to the Sag Harbor scene, a pre-existing restaurant, Page, at 63 Main St. , is joining the environmentally friendly aquaponics movement that raises crops and fish together.
James Carpenter is launching a self-sustainable rooftop garden, where he will raise fish; not to eat but to use their waste as fertilizer for the herbs and edible plants used in the restaurant’s dishes.
Calling all sweet tooths!
