we tried the entire summer menu at the @arlohotels williamsburg location and enjoyed every bit of it! chef michael king and his entire team made us a fan of his dishes! i would go back to eat everything again (skipping the fried vermont mozzarella because i’m not a fan of mozzarella sticks in general) especially the radiatore pork ragu, hazelnut & piave and the grassfed ravette stake!! my husband loves the lamb meatballs, rigatoni and chicken parm! (he don’t like asparagus but loved the charred asparagus pizza so i ate all the picked out asparagus which was delishhhh). the views & atmosphere is so romantic you’ll have to plan a date here this summer and try something from their menu.
thanks sungold for hosting us to a wonderful dinner!
thanks to my team ily tvg💖
During my recent visit to Arlo Hotels Williamsburg, I had the pleasure of indulging in their summer menu, and I must say, each dish brought its own memorable flavor to the table. What stood out most was the radiatore pork ragu, boasting a perfect blend of hazelnut and piave cheese that gave the pasta a creamy yet nutty texture. This combination reminded me of some of the most comforting Italian meals I've had, yet with a distinct gourmet twist that sets it apart. One surprising favorite was the charred asparagus pizza. Although I'm usually hesitant about asparagus, the smoky char paired with aged provolone, chile, and lemon created such a harmonious flavor balance that even picky eaters in our group found it delightful. It’s a fantastic reminder that creative twists on familiar ingredients can elevate a dish to new heights. The grassfed bavette steak was another highlight: tender, flavorful, and perfectly seared. It paired beautifully with a vegetable-style herb salad, which helped to brighten the richness of the steak and made the meal feel well-rounded and satisfying. My companion loved the lamb meatballs served with harissa tomatoes and coriander lime yogurt, adding an exciting North African-inspired kick to their dinner choice. The rigatoni with Maine lobster, spicy tomato sauce, and mascarpone also impressed, with its rich and slightly luxurious taste profile. The atmosphere of the restaurant is intimate and romantic, with stunning views that enhance the dining experience—ideal for those planning a special date night. The thoughtful preparation and heartfelt dedication from Chef Michael King and his team make every visit a celebration of NYC’s vibrant culinary scene. For anyone seeking creative dinner ideas or looking to enjoy a memorable meal in Williamsburg, Arlo Hotels is a must-try destination. The variety in their summer menu ensures there’s something delicious for every palate—even if you tend to skip certain ingredients like fried mozzarella sticks. Overall, it was a delightful evening of flavors and ambiance that I look forward to experiencing again soon.
