Reviews for Amato's in South Portland, ME
It has been forever since I had a true Maine Italian Sandwich, but tonight I did! Introduced it to my girlfriend who thought it... was "delicious"! Read more
We've spent the last 5 days traveling throughout Central and Southern Maine and the people are really nice in Maine but the... people at amato's set the bar extremely high, just a fantastic group of people over there Read more
Quick in and out if you call a head. Lines at lunch build up. But worth it . Great grab and go items as well
Great food and service. The woman who made our sandwich was so nice and friendly.
UNSAFE FOOD HANDLING Big / tall guy with sideburns, has probably worked there for the past decade has clearly become... complacent. This is not the first time I witnessed this, honestly have seen it many times over the years. He regularly wearsgloves while making food, then handles cash and the register. Then he goes straight back to handling food without changing thegloves or washing his hands. Today's visit, I specifically saw him handle sandwiches with blue gloves, then the register (samegloves), then go out back and handle pizza / spatulas with the same gloves, then go back to working sandwiches WITH THE SAMEGLOVES. This is such an in-your-face insult to customers who already pay hefty amounts for mediocre food. I do not know hisname, but he's easy to recognize. Larger, kinda tall guy with longish sideburns. If he's making your food. Keep an eye on him, Iguarantee you'll see the same thing I regularly do. Someone needs to re-train or reprimand this guy. Clearly has no regard forcustomer's health or safety. I've always been a big fan of Amato's and they usually provide great quality. So it really stinksthat this big wart is ruining a great location. Next time I see him handle food like this in front of me, a video will getfilmed and posted for sure. If he was handling others food like this, I'm sure mine was probably too. Who knows, if he'shandling food like that after handling the register without changing gloves or washing, he must be also handling the storephone, what else, his personal phone that he uses in the bathroom, the toilet scrubber? Just a big slap in the face. He shouldbe ashamed. Read more
First time here food was nice and fresh and respectful staff will be back when I?m in town
I love Amato?s Steak and Cheese sandwiches. I was grabbing a coffee at McDonalds next door and saw the sign, pulled in around... 930am, but the door was locked and as I start to leave in disappointment...I was called back by Nyamuoch, and she had statedthat they open at 10am (like the posting on their entrance). She took my order and gave me a big smile...knowing already thatshe was going to make my day much better! Thanks Amato?s!!! Read more
The pizza experience was lackluster! Husband brought home a " chicken BBQ" pie and they put bacon all over it despite him... telling them no bacon! Read more
