    Ever since I had my first Amato's Italian when I was 17, I've been a fan. That was when my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) introduced me to one of their "Real Italians," which is how the Maine-based chain markets their uniquely different Italian sandwiches. Amato's actually makes the claim that they invented the Italian--a sandwich on a long roll of Italian (or French) bread, split widthwise either into two pieces or opened in a "V" on one side, filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, seasoned with oil and salt and pepper. It's also a sandwich you used to only be able to find in Maine. Generally, if you go south of Kittery, you'll have to ask for a sub, a hoagie, a grinder, or something else--not an Italian (although Amato's has now francished locations in New Hampshire and Vermont). I recognize that saying that "Amato's makes the best Italian" is subjective, and just like making similar claims about lobster rolls, Southern BBQ, and rock and roll bands. However, in my opinion, their Italian is unique and tastes distinctly different than any other Italian I've ever had. Is it the sour pickles, or the oil? I'm not sure. I know that if I was participating in one of those Man vs. Food competitions with Italians, I'd want an Amato's Italian as my choice for chowing down. The Pleasant St. location is one of a number of full-service stores. The service is always friendly and efficient, although making a left (to go North on US Route 1) out of their lot can be an adventure during those crazy, high-traffic tourist periods or during late afternoon rush hour.

    I am a fan of the Amato's chain as a whole. Even though I am a snobbish New Yorker who has high standards for italian food, I've always liked their pizza and meatballs and calzones. It is not fabulous but can't go wrong. This is basic italian food, not trying to be fancy, just meat and cheesy goodness. Sauce is good and the crust is good. I enjoy the sandwiches too. Maybe it is the simplicity that makes it good, but there is something about oil and vinegar on a sandwich. I also love their pickles that they put on the sandwich, nice and sour. Way better then Subway that is for sure. I disagree this a $$$ priced place though. It is $4.99 for a large sandwich and like $12 for a large pizza...really people?

    I grew up in Topsham, the neighboring town, and I know about 10 different spots in the area to get a decent italian sandwich. But, I would say in all of Maine (and this means the world since you can't get 'em elsewhere), Amato's is the best. Now you have to get the "Real Italian"; this is ham, cheese, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, pickles and olives on a roll with salt, pepper and oil on top. If you are vegan, vegetarian, kosher or halal you are shit out of luck. Gotta get the ham italian. The beauty of it lies in the details. Kalamata olives, not many places use these, usually you're getting California black. True Mainers have an aversion to pretty much anything that comes out of California (except long lost relatives). Sour pickles, another rarity in the sandwich world, and essential to the flavor. Also particular to Amato's is the tomato and onion preparation: chunks, hearty chunks, not those flavorless slices that most joints serve. All of this loaded on a fresh roll without any of that mayo/mustard garbage, I'm talking about a complementary adornment of oil, salt and pepper, and we're good buddy. I ate here all my life and every time I come back to Maine it's one of my first stops. I know most of my friends that still live in the area eat here all the time, they just haven't yelped it yet because they';re still working out the whole literacy thing. Wicked good, you betcha!

    The one star is for the lobster roll. It was inedible and tasted like a paste made of salt. It was that same Dehaime" Premade salad that Gilley's uses. I picked up an Italian there yesterday and the "DeShames" sign was gone. They claim to make their own now. I don't want to waste my money on the salt paste when I could spend it on a double italian. The whole "Real Italian" thing is garbage. It's the "Real Maine Sub." They should just acknowledge who they are. Otherwise, I eat Amato's Italians w/ salt, pepper & oil all the time.

    had an Italian that overall was a good sandwich, however lacked any substance when it came to the quantity of ham they place in the sandwich. I would have liked to taste the ham along with the bread instead i felt like i was eating veggies with bread. The pizza I ordered was pretty good however i gave them 3 stars because of price and lack of ham in sandwich.

    This applies to the whole Amato's chain, but this is the one I went to the most at home: Great pizza. The best calzones I've ever had. The best Italians I've ever had - fresh ingredients, good quality ingredients. They bake their own bread every day and bring it to the stores. I order a pepperoni italian every time I'm home. The bread really makes the sandwich although the rest of it is great too. This particular location has a few seats in back. They sell beer & wine but you can't drink there.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
