Bamonte's • 1900

Red-checkered tablecloths, tuxedoed waiters, and the same vintage decor since the 1950s set the stage at this Williamsburg institution, Brooklyn's oldest Italian restaurant since 1900. The Bamonte family still serves old-school Italian-American classics—think pork chops parmigiana and linguine with white clam sauce—in a timeworn dining room that once drew Sinatra, DiMaggio, and enough wiseguys to earn a cameo in The Sopranos. Come for the history, stay for the veal.
