- EaterJanuary 11, 2012For red-sauce Italian, Bamonte's can't be beat. Order the veal scaloppine and the homemade manicotti. Three course meals range $28- $40; always call ahead to make a reservation. [Eater 38 Member]
- EaterJuly 18, 2017It may not be the best iteration of classic Italian food, but Bamonte’s has no comparison for the history, the soul, and warmth that pours out of the space.
Mike FriedmanAugust 2, 2015Timeless Brooklyn red-sauce experience - Clams Cassino, Bamonte's Cold Antipasto, Rigatoni & Vodka Sauce, the list goes on... Bonus points for A+ people watching
Jesse BagelsMarch 27, 2016Classic authentic Italian, pricier than the south Brooklyn joints I was raised on but doesn't skimp on portions!
Village VoiceApril 9, 2015You'll likely enjoy dishes like stuffed artichokes and the "Pork Chop Bamonte." But make sure to enjoy a postprandial espresso-and-sambuca — it's the original Brooklyn combo.- DoubleDeuceNovember 15, 2018Classic NYC Italian restaurant where everything is devoted to The Family. The wall decorations too. It's quite charming and the food and wine are great too.
Jeremy MooreOctober 6, 2015It's easy to see how this place has been in business 115 years and counting. Signature service, great Italian home cooking, and reasonable prices. #winning- Helena WongFebruary 22, 2015Mussels Marinara, Baked Clams and Pork Chops with Red & Hot Peppers. Their RED sauce is the bomb but the pasta dishes didn't do much for me, wish it was cooked al dente.
BrooklynBoyOJanuary 17, 2015If you're a comic book nerd & fan of the new Batman/Bruce Wayne Origin story on Fox, #Gotham, you'll recognize this place as gangster Maroni's restaurant & lair...
Nikki WegnerAugust 14, 2018Amazing old school Italian. Great food. Chicken parm, veal parm, eggplant rolatini
Michael G.July 11, 2019Pork chop parmesan was delicious. Overall, the food isn’t sensational. It’s more about the old school vibes. Good place to get a big table.
Buford BarnesMay 29, 2012Established 1900. Original chandeliers to mid-century paneling to a modern glassed-in kitchen. Classic Italian immigrant appetizers and entrees, since before NY saw its first pizzerias.
Samiha KhanJune 23, 2015Super old school Italian restaurant. Felt like I was on the set of a Sopranos episode. The homemade pasta dishes are really great.
Sarah SpagnoloFebruary 7, 2015Kitche place with servers who have probably been there for 40 years. Reminds me of Sparks, in Midtown
Bond StreetOctober 3, 2016"Get yourself a martini, some baked clams, the Spicy Calamari and the Veal Rollatini. You can thank me later." - Daniel Holzman, co-founder - Meatball Shop Read more
Kimberly M.March 31, 2014Everything is delicious here and this is coming from a VERY picky eater. Can't go wrong here. I got pork chop. Yum.
Arsie JiwajindaOctober 20, 2017Classy old school vibe and huge portions of traditional Italian fare. Excellent for groups!
StayNYC RentalsOctober 17, 2018You want to have dinner at Carbone, but the reservations are tough and not every one of your friends wants to spend $100+ on dinner. Just go to Bamonte’s.
Philip RaeFebruary 4, 2016An authentic Italian joint that's like walking into the past and being treated excellently by classy servers.
Tilman BeneckeFebruary 9, 2017Great original italian food combined with a nice atmosphere and oöd school waiters wearing a smoking
LaurenMay 11, 2013The mussels and calamari are amazing here. Been going to this restaurant for 25 years and it's always great!
Perry SchafferOctober 7, 2013Any place good enough for Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Dodgers galore good enough for me. Solid Red Sauce. Ricotta cheesecake #noproblem
Raquelle JessieMarch 23, 2019Get the ravioli, rigatoni ala vodka, chicken francese and Italian cheesecake
Stewart CampbellAugust 13, 2018This is a great place for a classic home style Italian restaurant but the food is pretty bad
Leigh QuindaraMay 14, 2015Bamonte's is an Italian American's dream. There's even an old cigarette machine in the front!
- Louise BMarch 31, 2012A lovely out of the way place with great food and ambience. I enjoyed a very leisurely dinner. Very nice!
Matt LanganDecember 14, 2012Italian cheesecake is a little more firm than the regular one. Both delicious.
Everything on the menu is great but the things that aren't on the menu are even better!
Bunji FromartzDecember 3, 2013Make sure they put the Anisette bottle on the table with your espresso, not just a shot!
Leyla YerlikayaApril 28, 2012Great service, amazing food, great atmosphere! Order anything you won't regret
david kestingJanuary 18, 2010Awesome old school italian food. Great place to impress the out of towners as its off the path a little hard to find and always packed with authenticity.
Frederic BonnFebruary 27, 2014The decor is typical old school Italian Brooklyn and you can see some fascinating characters straight out of the 50s. However, the food is pretty terrible.
Have the Pork Chops with Hot vinegar peppers. Out of this world if you can take the heat.
