"Those yearning for the red-sauce days of yore, forgo Little Italy and head to Williamsburg for Bamonte's, a century-old institution whose clams casino and veal parm haven't grown tired in the slightest."
"Stick to the basic appetizers like clams casino."
"Start with superb clams casino—the bacon’s smokiness perfectly counterpoints briny clams."
"I like the rudimentary version of clams casino at Bamonte's: the clam is left largely unmolested, served simply under a canopy of bacon with a flourish of parsley and lemon. It might lack artifice but makes up for it with a briny heartiness punctuated buy a smoky saltiness from the bacon."
"In fact, clams casino was invented AFTER Bamonte’s was founded, and it was probably one of the most recent menu additions. Everything on the menu here is huge and superbly cooked."
"When you go, stick with the simple dishes that Bamonte’s is known for — appetizers such as clams casino."
"From beautifully simple clams casino to piles of baked ziti, all your favorite throwback classics are alive and well."
