Frost Restaurant

"Williamsburg red-sauce restaurant Frost at 193 Frost Street, at Humboldt Street, is closing at the end of service on Sunday, several employees confirmed. The restaurant opened in 1959, and today the family-owned spot is known for its chicken Siciliana, pasta al forno, warm service, and Jeopardy! on TV in lieu of a playlist." - Robert Sietsema

"So I took Luca and my nephew Matteo to Frost, a Williamsburg Italian restaurant that opened in 1959, to try the veal Francese (Note: It appears on the menu as “veal scaloppine French style.”), and it was predictably magnificent. We also had some of the best stuffed clams I have ever eaten, a giant platter of shrimp parmigiana, and we each had a side of spaghetti with tomato sauce." - ByTyler Kord

"Williamsburg’s Frost — located at the corner of Humboldt and Frost (hence the frigid name) — is more obscure than the well-known Bamonte’s. It dates to 1959, and the décor still seems European, with the square dining room featuring big arched windows and moody marine paintings. A meal begins with a free plate of roasted green chile peppers, spicy as hell, and the menu concentrates on seafood, vegetables, and wonderful baked pastas. An irresistible entrée is the casserole of baked cheese ravioli mantled in mozzarella and nicely browned, with an extra tableside sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Other good choices include spaghetti with meatballs or sausages, pork chops with pickled hot cherry peppers, scungilli fra diavolo (conch in a spicy red sauce), and lobsters done several ways." - Robert Sietsema, Stefanie Tuder
