AI-generated summary
People argue about Bamonte's. Everyone loves the room, which dates to 1900 and looks like a movie set. Plenty of others say the food is average Italian at best. If you go, the eggplant parmesan and the off menu bone in veal parmesan are what fans keep naming. The baked clams and the martinis get good marks too.
NYC classic — Pasquale Bamonte and his wife, immigrants from Salerno, opened Bamonte's in Williamsburg in 1900, originally running it as Liberty Hall, a banquet hall and meeting place. Anthony Bamonte took over in the late 1960s and still runs it with his three daughters. The old-school dining room is a longtime mob haunt and has appeared in The Sopranos. Wikipedia
