Bamonte's is a family owned Italian-American restaurant at 32 Withers Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.[1] Anthony Bamonte took ownership in the late 1960's and is still owner to this day. The restaurant is currently being operated by Anthony Bamonte alongside his three daughters, Lisa, Laura and Nicole.
It is said to have been a Mob hangout. In 2009, after he was released from a federal penitentiary, Anthony "Fat Tony" Rabito of the Bonanno crime family, was forbidden by his probation officer from returning to several Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan, including Bamonte's.[2]
When Anthony's grandfather, Pasquale Bamonte, and his wife settled in Williamsburg after immigrating from Salerno, Italy they opened Liberty Hall in 1900, which became Bamonte's. It originally served as a banquet hall and meeting place.[3]
In 2021, Bamonte's was named one of NYC's 21 best Italian restaurants by Condé Nast Traveler.[4]
