Amato's

Great sandwiches! Even better prices! Can't beat without going to Publix... And last I checked the closest one of those is in N. Carolina!

So Fresh! So Fast! The service & laughter from Kim made my day. The patio was so clean & relaxing!

Awesome fast service! Great prices! Deli style counter service with a great outdoor patio.

Used to eat lunch there when I was in the vicinity when I was working. Great place for a great quick bite. So Happy to see it hasn't changed in 15+ years.

This rating is all about that Classic Italian sandwich. The quality I'm used to from other establishments is basically around some sort of brick oven bread, authentic Italian cold cuts,etc. Amato's was different. It was open-face, with a slight fold lengthwise. It had crisp fresh peppers, sliced olives and some very good quality tomato slices over an excellent combination of cold cuts and provolone. It was more than drizzled with olive oil and vinegar. Adding a couple of sour pickle slices to all this nailed it! The bread was chewy white. Altogether, it's hard to describe how delicious this was. Eating it felt definitely like a sandwich, but also somehow like pizza, and maybe a little salad. Very satisfying, I look forward to having another on my next trip to Portland!
