Bamonte's


Bamonte’s is a family owned Italian restaurant at 32 Withers Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. Anthony Bamonte began running it in the 1960s, eventually bringing in daughter Nicole.
It is said to have been a Mob hangout and in 2009, after he was released from a federal penitentiary, Anthony “Fat Tony” Rabito of the Bonanno crime family, was forbidden to return. After Carmine Galante was murdered, they “closed down for a night and the heads of the five crime families held a celebratory dinner.”

History

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.
