MLK Jr had a dream, but so do I. Mine is about an italian sandwich from Amato's and I have it at least twice a week. Nothing tops it. That I live in California and can't eat here all the time is perhaps a blessing, because I would definitely have an italian if not every day, probably 5-6 times a week. And I'd be obese. Blissfully happy, but obese.

An above average local chain that caters to all of your pizza, pasta, hot sandwiches, and best of all eye-taal-en (Italian) sandwich. Are there better local places scattered about Maine that make a better sandwich. Duh! But in a pinch this place provides you with the basics quickly. They are also part convenience store selling beer, liquor, and wine. If you are in the in Southern Maine there is a good chance that you might bump into one of these places scattered about. Amato's Italian is a good baseline to judge others Italian's throughout. And if you have not had one of them you missing out on a Maine staple!

Amato's is a quick, tasty and inexpensive place for take-out. When you step inside, it feels like a gas station with the snack food items and drink fridges, but they have large commercial grade ovens cranking out pizzas, calzones and hot sandwiches. The food certainly doesn't taste like gas station quality, which is great. The staff is friendly and they have specials everyday, which are basically items on the menu that are cheaper by like $3-$4. This will definitely be a go to place when I can't think of anything to eat as they are fast and good.

This is another ok place to go. With decent things and bad things. Good food and bad food. This is an ok place to be for food. Before you enter the area. You see a nice LCD board with all the announcements! It's attractive! But the exterior is a bit unappealing. With the same brick walls on all sides. The inside is a bit minimalist. But that's kind of a good thing! Making for easy systems for all. And the staff is a bit nice. Being very supportive. But the food is kind of off. With not exactly good salads. Overall. This is an ok place for Italian food. If you want a solid experience. Go here!

I stopped in here on a whim and found myself pleasantly surprised. The Classic Italian combo was the three important things I look for: it tasted amazing, it was filling and it Elias reasonably priced. I will definitely be a repeat customer when I am in town!

There is something about planning a trip to Amato's that gets me pumped. I think it's knowing the fact that I will consistently get a fresh and tasty meal. There is so much variety to their menu (pastas, salads, Italian dishes, calzones, sandwiches etc), but I never stray from my usual veggie cold sandwich. It's really just veggies, cheese and bread, but damn their bread is so moist and their veggies are so crisp! I also sometimes get the pazo bread and that just brings me pure joy. It's a carb lover's BFF. Man, I'm a fatty! Only negative is that if you want double of any topping, they charge too much (in my opinion).

3-1/2 stars would be perfect... better than average, but not the best. They are known as THE go to spot for Italians, but there are lots of better choices like Corsettis on Route 302 and Severino's in Westbrook. I'm sure there are many more but I haven't lived in Maine for a few years. I go back to visit family a few times a year and usually pop into an Amato's once a visit. They've grown for a reason. Good prices on good Italian food. Was shocked to see they are in the mall food court now.

I always get a Real Double Italian, Salt Pepper, Oil. My wife loves the meat stuffers but they tend to take a while. It is better to order ahead for those.

Like another reviewer, I too am not originally from Maine; I moved here 6 months ago from Philadelphia. It occurs to me that Amato's has been around for many decades and that it is something that many locals were brought up eating. The sandwiches at Amato's are surprising good and moderately priced. There is a considerable amount of variety on their food menu, in addition to the alcohol and sides that they have for sale. I do however want to note that their famed "Real Italian" is by no means an Italian Sandwich.....processed, boiled ham and American cheeses are not Italian deli items. You need to put Prosciutto, capicola, pepperoni and provolone on your "Real Italian" The other day someone told me that Subway had stolen the idea for their Italian BMT from Amato's....I find this notion laughable. That is like saying that Papa John's stole the pizza invention from Domino's.....WTF? Who cares if you were the first person in this region to dupe an entire state into thinking that your sandwiches are the "real" kind that Italians eat. If you want really Italian food, go down to Micucci's right next to the Old Port area, they actually have Italian ingredients....and use them to make Italian food. (Though the teenagers working there can't even pronounce the name of the store...it's Me-chew-cheese.....not Me-coochies - sounds slang for lady parts). Gosh! As far as American subs on over sized hot dog rolls go....Amato's makes a darn good one. They give you plenty of veggies to top your sub and the olives are actually pretty darn good. I would suggest them anytime if you wanted a quick and moderately priced sandwich, I however would send you elsewhere for Italian fare.

So, I can't say I understand what it is that people like about this place. I just tried it for the first time and I walked away thinking, "really, this passes for a good sandwich?" It wasn't BAD, just... uninspired. I tried the Italian sandwich since that's what most people seem to recommend. What I got was: a small amount of ham, a smaller amount of cheese, tomatoes, pickles, diced onions and peppers. Why this sandwich is called Italian is beyond me. I call it a typical ham and cheese sandwich. Boring. However, they do carry pepsi products so they've at least got that going for them.

ITALIAN? WHERE? This place is a glorified Subway, at best. Perhaps it's because I'm not a true Mainer, only a recent transplant from the NY/CT area, but Amato's is a far cry from Italian-inspired sandwiches. I think people here have been drinking too much Moxie, or perhaps it's just because they don't know to go anywhere else. I've had better sandwiches at convenience stores. The classic "Italian" that everyone raves about is nothing more than a ham and cheese (American!!) sandwich, on enriched, white bread (basically a large hotdog bun). This place is a JOKE. I really can't understand why people think this is a good place for a sandwich, other than the price. Don't waste your time!
Amato's is brilliant. They provide good food made with quality ingredients but with the same business model and pricing as a fast-food / late night restaurant. In fact it's still pretty much the only place you can get real food in the Portland area up until midnight. Not only that, the portions are large, so you're getting a lot of high quality food at a low price. It's almost suspicious. Take a look at their locations on the map and you start to get the feeling there's something scientific going on. They sell beer too! My only complaint would be that one time a tipsy Mr. Reali tried to convert me and my friends to Catholicism when we walked by the newly restored church on Middle Street during the Italian Festival.

Eggplant parm sub!!! Cheesy bread!!!! Spaghetti with meatballs!!! Why oh why oh why oh why will Amato's not expand beyond Maine??? Great value, huge portions, delicious food, easy ordering, (semi long wait for food IMO, but we won't talk about that), convenient. Amato's, without you there is currently a void in my stomach.

I've heard locals rave about this place quite a bit, even after they've left the area. I had to check it out recently when I urgently needed a snack. I decided to keep it simple and try what they are famous for - the Italian. The sub turned out to be perfect - very fresh bread and cheese, fresh and flavorful cold cuts, good veggies and oil on top. The olives were also not the usual "can" tasting olives, but tasted like the real deal, which I thought was impressive. Prices were really good for what you are getting. I've only had subs this good at one other place, some small Italian place here in Mass. A. got the calzone and that was delicious too (you can tell they probably have good pizza here too) - the dough was soft and fried just enough, the cheese abundant and melted just right, and very good tomato sauce. Who even cares what the filling is when you are dealing with such goodness? Next time I am here, I will definitely come back here.

They invented the Italian Sandwich which is a culinary masterpiece that is unique to Southern Maine. What more do you need to know? I live in California now, but whenever I go back to Maine, this is always the first local food that I seek out, even before some chowdah and lobstah roll. It is an amazing sandwich that is not replicated successfully anywhere outside of Maine. Don't miss it!

Szymon T.
They really need to have these throughout new england. Whenever on a trip through Maine, i always make sure to stop at one of these. Whether in a gas station or as a stand alone restaurant this local sub and pizza place has a little something extra. First off, the sauce that they use in alot of their dishes is just amazing. Luckily they bottle and sell the shit, so garb one on your way out the door if your just passing through. My favorite is the meat calzone. Nothing special in the ingredients, just ham, pepperoni, sausage and hamburger, but the way they make it and then add in the marinara dipping sauce and its just one of the best calzones i ever had. Of all the times i've been there though, i've never eaten the pizza. There are so many better looking things on the menu, so if it sucks i have no idea. Nothing too bizarre or special on the menu, in fact it might be lacking a few local pizza staples like buffalo chicken. This is suppose to be a more Italian style pizza place so the menu reflects that with chicken spinaci and cheese pazzo instead. If you're gonna get a sub, make sure to spend the extra cash and get the extra meat and cheese. If you don't, instead of having a great sandwich, your gonna fell like you walked away from a slightly better than subway experience. Just writing about this place, makes me consider driving the 150 miles up there to grab two calzones and two jars of sauce.

HOW IN THE WORLD HAS NO ONE REVIEWED AMATO'S!?!? It's gotta be because if you're from Maine, you just know Amato's is delicious... you don't need to read some dumb review about it. I was born and raised in Maine... then got transported out to California. Now I live in San Francisco and only get back to Maine 1-2x/year. My family knows what I want for lunch (and sometimes breakfast and dinner). I want an Amato's Italian Sandwich and a Moxie. If you haven't been to Amato's, I don't know what you're waiting for. An invitation? Well you're not going to get one. JUST GO! This one is on the corner of Allen Ave and Washington Ave... across the street from Dunkin Donuts... Next to Rite Aide... you know where it is. Get there. Now.

This place is amazing. I live in California and think about Amato's at least once a week. There is no place that has Italian (sub) sandwiches that compare to Amato's. If only they could take their quality national. Their meats, their vegetables are always so garden fresh and their oil is special. When I am in Maine, I try to have Amato's for at least half of my meals! No place better.

Absolutely Subtastic. We had a wedding to go to in Maine over this past weekend. The four of us had been busy at work all day before we had left for the car ride so there had been very little food. So, between hunger and pure amazing-ness when we arrived in Maine your subs lifted our spirits and pushed out our stomachs. The steak parm is to die for. So yummy. Made us human again!

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.
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.

The best argument for renouncing my vegetarianism is (perhaps somewhat sadly) Amato's' turkey Italian. There are few things in life I enjoy that much. Turns out, though, that taking the turkey out doesn't ruin it. Best subs I've ever encountered (with a close second being Al's State Street/South Street Café in Boston). The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that there is about a one in two chance that if you order from this place something will be wrong. The food makes up for most of that, but come on now - just because "olive" and "onion" start with the same letter is no excuse for replacing my onions with a ton of olives. Anyway, the pazzo bread is also incredibly delicious. Get that. And eat it.
