The very colorful Rocky and more demure Joey will be missed as John was when he left earlier….but, mostly, the fabulous meals and wonderful friendship!enjoy your retirement as you’ve certainly earned it!
Part of the “big three” classic red sauce restaurants, in Williamsburg, Conos, Bamontes, Frost that made it into the 21 century. Only Bamontes is left.

This was so heart breaking and stomach hurting to know we would never again taste the baked clams or the shrimps fra’diavolo or the bread or the peppers ! I’m so fn pissed at Rocco. He should have given every long term patron a recipe book lmfao!! Rocco wouldn’t give ice away in the winter! Relax just jokin!
Ive been eating at frost since 1967…. It wil be missed! Bamontes is a hit or miss with their food but frost was always a hit!!!
