21 Best Italian Restaurants in New York | Condé Nast Traveler
"Bamonte’s opened in Williamsburg near the turn of the 20th century and hasn't changed much since. The decor is very "place where a guy gets shot in a mobster movie," with swagged velvet curtains, fading signed photos of celebrities from another era, and white tablecloths adorned with cut-crystal votives and vases holding a single, tomato-red flower. It's cheesy in the best way—a charmingly fusty time capsule in a neighborhood that's become the epicenter of trendiness. Looking for New York red sauce? This is your place." - Andrea Whittle
