Where can you find the BEST Italian-American food in Brooklyn? Danielle Caminiti—AKA @HaveUCoveredIntheKitchen—recommends Bamonte’s, located at 32 Withers Street in Williamsburg. Bamonte’s has been owned and operated by the same family for a staggering 125 years, making it the oldest Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. Bamonte’s does all of the red sauce classics exceptionally well, but their claim to fame is having purportedly invented the dish chicken parmigiana.

  1. I had an uncle who lived in that neighborhood in the 1930's through the 1970's. He used to rave about this place. So, I decided to go there in 2024 for a dinner. Sorry to say I was disappointed with the meal. I ordered my favorite White Clam sauce over linguine, and it just did not hit the high note I was expecting! To be honest with everyone on here, most if not all of these places don't have Italian cooks in their kitchens anymore. Only the owners may be of Italian decent!

  2. Danielle C , good looking italian lady , did u ever audition or get an under 5 or more on any of the Law and Orders ? 😅😅. I could see u as a cop , killer , troubled wife , witness 2 a killing etc on the shows . 😅😅😊

  3. Geez between this gorgeous woman and my mouth watering from the insanely yummy looking food this restaurant has my head is spinning ….wow

  4. I was there a couple of years ago with reservation they sat us in a horrible place and the service was alright, nothing I had there was unforgettable and my guest said it was alright.

  5. Bravo Darling Danielle,
    You Gave Bamonte's Good Honor… I was beginning to wonder — Until You took a couple of bites and Pushed the Plate Away, because I know that You Couldn't have been Eating…. " ALL 'DAT FOOD"😥 Wonderful Expose' Hon🛐🌹🦋💐💚💯🤺🏁🇺🇲😉

  6. Wow my mouth is watering! I wish I was there! Chicken Parm my favorite. Great food and a pretty lady describing everything!

  7. I lived nearby and have passed it thousands of times, but I never went in.
    Maybe it had to do with the rumor (or not) that it was a Mafia hangout joint back in the day.
    Or that locals told me it was an expensive restaurant. But nonetheless, next time I visit Brooklyn again, I'm definitely gonna try it.
    I do hope they have Tutte' di Mare'.

  8. The problem I have going pout to eat is, the food. Is the seafood farm raised or from india? Is the pasta made from gold medal flour? Is the steak not from china? Is the chicken not from china? etc…
