"Eating at a big round table with your family isn’t a recent trend. That’s exactly what people at Bamonte’s in Williamsburg have been doing since this Italian-American spot opened in 1900. The dining room, which has a few round tables covered in white tablecloths scattered around its big space, hasn’t been updated since the ’50s. This is an ideal choice for a night of passing around baked ziti, pork chop parmesan, and fried calamari." - hannah albertine, kenny yang
