Bamonte's

Since 1900, this family-owned spot in Williamsburg has charmed both locals and a dedicated bridge and tunnel following with reliable red sauce staples: Think abundant antipasti, baked clams brimming with garlicky breadcrumbs, hearty platters of penne alla vodka and veal parm, and excellent off-menu cannoli. The dining room in fact served as a set for the Soprano's - if that's not inspiration enough to give it a try, then maybe you're just not that fun.
