Amato's

My peeps said I had to try Amato’s Italian Grinder. I like Italians and I like Grinder so why not? The overall experience dampened by enthusiasm. The store is more of a convenience store atmosphere so expect zero ambiance. The cashier was pretty hot on the outside but rather empty on the inside bordering on New England rude. Brewed tea? - no way grab a canned drink. Quality chips offered- not really. The grinder looked delicious on the outside but had standard processed meat. The olives were nice as were the peppers. I am usually critical of bread, but is was soft and very fresh. The crowd was more the food stamps crowd than the hipster foodies Portland is known for so I give it an average rating overall.

Best eggplant parm sandwich ever! Highly recommend stopping in. Super friendly and helpful staff. Have never been disappointed in the many years I have been stopping at various Amato's shops.

Last 2 times I have ordered sandwiches from here. Italian sandwiches they have been made wrong. How hard is it to follow a simple request for a change on your sandwich?? Very disappointing!

Always the same, never bad. Only complaint is there were 4 people working at 4:30pm and it took almost 15 minutes just to take my order.

Their lobster roll, yum!! BUT... my mother called and wanted a salad, nbd, right? Well they said no, you gotta "pick a pre-made salad once you get here" would it kill the order taker to just grab a garden salad and add it to the order? She didn't get her salad because I was already on my way to pick it up and the order taker never told me.

Super fresh, every time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Love it!

Classic Maine Italian is really good. Their other menu items are fantastic as well. These guys come from the long tradition of Maine mom and pop convenience stores with exceptional in-house sandwich and other entree offerings

The order was ready as soon as they said it would be and was very delicious. Customer was not as kind and it was made known that a line is a line. Wish the staff would have told the customer the same before they tried cutting me.

Third time this location can't get an order right, I called in a large sandwich with just ham, cheese, pickle and greek olive with hot relish and made a regular Italian with black olives and no hot relish... how hard is it to read a recipe and make what it says? I even specified this time it was just ham, cheese, pickle and Greek olives over the phone..

When you order extra extra sauce and pasta is dry as a bone they dont have a clue what they're doing. This is meant for the biddeford location
