Wood-fired seasonal Italian with California flair, cocktails
"In Williamsburg, Sungold reinvents the classic potato latke in both shape and structure. A combo of shredded Idaho russet potatoes and shaved celery root are formed into thick, triangular wedges and then slow-cooked in clarified butter, before being pressed, chilled, and fried to order for extra crispiness. The latke’s crisp crust and gratin-like center is the result of the laborious two-day process of chilling and reheating each latke, which is served with pear butter, finely grated horseradish, and a generous sprinkling of chives." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"A restaurant located in Williamsburg’s Arlo Hotel, with Michael King as the head chef." - Melissa McCart
"Sungold in the Arlo Hotel in Williamsburg is an Italian restaurant with some California flourish. The menu includes things like a ramp pizza, roasted arctic char, and similarly fresh produce-forward dishes." - will hartman
"Described as a newish, wood-fired seasonal spot from chef Michael King, Sungold is presented as a worthwhile addition to the Arlo Williamsburg scene." - Eater Staff
"Sungold is an all-day restaurant stationed inside the Arlo Williamsburg, opened by chef Michael King, who previously worked at Ace Hotel. The restaurant seats 60 diners and features dramatic lighting, exposed brick, and velvet banquettes. The menu includes starters like daily sourdough focaccia, charred cabbage with trout row, and a pizza shop salad, along with pizzas such as American prosciutto or charred broccoli. Highlighted pastas include Coperta, a pork ragu with amaro from Brooklyn's Faccia Bruto, finished with hazelnut gremolata and Piave Vecchio. Meaty items include rib-eye for two and a cheeseburger with paper-thin onion rings. Bartender Armando Acevedo creates cocktails like Joker's Wild with pea-infused tequila. Sungold will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. with brunch on weekends and features a 'Lucky Hour' happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays." - Melissa McCart
