The Most Classic Restaurants In NYC
"It’s not that the food at this old-school Italian spot, which featured thrice in The Sopranos, is spectacular. The calamari leans pale, and the red sauce is watery. But what you eat at Bamonte’s never really matters. Because by the time a platter of totally okay penne alla vodka lands on your table, you’ll be obsessed with the woman in a fur coat who drove to Williamsburg from New Jersey, and 10 childhood friends from Windsor Terrace passing around platters of baked clams. No restaurant entertains with bow ties and bottles of red quite like this one. Martini, clams casino, penne vodka, pork chop parmesan" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
