Dining room at Bonta Restaurant & Bar, Hampton, NHChef Joel Conley adds spark to the menu at this suburban hideaway, one of the Seacoast area's few choices in upscale dining. In the more casual lounge area, there are options for those who just want to share some appetizers from the stuzzichini menu and sip a martini or two. Couples celebrating special occasions head straight for the graceful dining room complete with a fireplace. The modern Italian menu engages in local sourcing. Try seared shrimp "Saltimbocca" with fresh mozzarella, sliced tomato and balsamic reduction, then the signature chicken under a brick, juicy beneath its crispy skin, with sweet potato hash, wild baby mushrooms and bianco dolce sauce; lamb chops are roasted in seasoned cast iron. The wine list is divided into old-world and new-world selections with plenty of choices from Italy and South America. For dessert, we suggest the refreshing lemon panna cotta with texture from crumbled biscotti and fresh berries.
