Amato’s

All set with this location! Over the past year have done nothing but given them good faith and second chances. Food is always cold or soggy and the staff is rude. Hate to give up my favorite italian sandwich stop but I would rather pay for my food to be correct.

Unfortunately, I am done with this Amato’s location. About a year ago, I started working near this location and I wanted to make this a regular lunch spot. I love steak and cheese sandwiches, and that is what I usually order here. I always just order steak and cheese on the sandwich, always specifying no onions, peppers, and mushrooms. After receiving a couple of sandwiches that had bread so wet and soggy I had to pick almost half of it off, I stopped coming here for a couple of months.
Today, I decided to give them another chance and get a steak and cheese (total craving). I called ahead and ordered over the phone, making sure I specifically told them no mushrooms, no peppers, no onions. I picked up the sandwich on my lunch break and brought it back to my work. The bread on the sandwich was soaking wet and falling apart. It was also smothered in mushrooms, peppers, and onions. I couldn’t eat any of it, I threw it right in the trash. $ 12 right in the trash (for the nasty sandwich and 16 oz. soda from the freezer). If I wasn’t at work I would have drove back to the store and complained to get my money back. However, I then would have had to deal with the high school aged employees who are usually fighting and swearing at each other every time I go in there. I actually walked out of the store and waited in my car one time because of how unprofessional the staff were acting and how uncomfortable it made me feel.

Great Italians!!! Love the pickles.

Soups to nuts and not too far off 95.
I got a veggie wrap and was super glad I pulled up a spot at their outside picnic table since the veggies were juicy and I would have made an ultimate slob out of myself if I drove and ate.
The veggie pizza without cheese was loaded with lots of black olives, mushrooms and peppers. Love that it was loaded. The crust had a crunchy outside coating but the inside was doughy. This is my favorite but Mr. G likes a thinner crunchier crust.
They have wine, beer, ATM, hot entrees, ice cream and although this may sound like a typical convenient store it gives off a much better feel. Homey sounds strange but it is very welcoming.
The kids counted cars coming and going by the minute so we obviously picked a busy spot. Busy to me means good.

Service was great as usual and the food was even better. I had the Angus Steak Calzone which I never had before and loved it.

I bet you didn’t know they make a great breakfast sandwich for a great price! Definitely one of the places I stop to grab something on the way to work the most. Peter, the manager, is great. Always friendly and calls me by my first name.

Stopped in last night for dinner on our way back to Massachusetts. I got the Ravioli with Dominic’s Marinara sauce, my husband the Ziti-​n-​Cheese.
PROS: Prices are reasonable, and both came with napkins, silverware, and scali bread. The sauce on my ravioli was actually pretty good — kind of a sweetish italian marinara. The ravioli were a bit undercooked (I think they use frozen) but I managed to eat it all up. The Ziti-​n-​cheese didn’t stand a chance! We grabbed a takeout menu so we can call ahead next time we’re headed that way.
CONS: No indoor seating. It was raining, so we ate in the car. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, and I’ve been to other locations that have booths and tables. The staff was a bit… um…distracted. Not sure if they were tired or what, but we stood in line for a few minutes and no one asked us if we needed anything until we went to the registers and asked for some help. Other Amato’s I’ve been to, I’ve never waited for one second to get someone’s attention.
All in all, a good hearty meal when roadtripping, and I’ll be eating there again.
