    Large Italian sandwich
    Barry L.

    Attention sandwich lovers. When in Milford you must visit this great Italian specialty and local variety store dating back to the 1940's I've tried many sandwiches here and my go to is the Italian. No one in the area compares to this delicious sub sandwich. They offer a variety of sheet pizza slices - first come first serve Homemade Italian lunch specials for grab and go. Homemade pies from Apple to lemon meringue pie, piled highhh Imported pastas and other specialties Go see for yourself - what are you waiting for !!!! Enjoy !!

    This place is new to me, but I understand it had only recently reopened under new management. Now,…read moreI moved here from a predominantly Italian community and state known for the amazing restaurants. So, my measuring stick is pretty high and I expected to be using unimpressed. I was pleasantly surprised! We were greeted and seated right away. The atmosphere is very casual and there were families present, as well as singles, young people and seniors. The decor is unremarkable, but it was bright and clean. The noise level was very loud, making conversation somewhat difficult. Probably not the best choice first a first date, but we managed. I decided to have the Eggplant Parm, a true test since it is one of my favorite dishes. My date was elated to find they were offering clam chowder, usually available Fridays only (and this was Saturday). He ordered a bowl and was satisfied, along with the bread. It was thick, creamy and received great reviews. My meal was amazing. It was a very generous portion, so that I took half home for the next day. The angel hair pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente, the sauce was delicious and the eggplant was fried perfectly - a tower of thinly sliced heaven with Just enough cheese and plenty of sauce. It did not dry out overnight in my refrigerator, as leftover pasta dishes often do. My only complaint is the noise. We were seated only a few yards away from the entertainment - a woman singer on acoustic guitar - but we could not hear her. After our meal, we asked to be seated in the very full bar area. The hostess and waitress kindly found us a high top. Again, we were close to the stage, directly in front, but unable to enjoy her because of the noise level. I will certainly return, but it's not somewhere for deep conversation or for the entertainment. It's all about the food and, based on my experience, well worth it.

We got a couple of special mixers and we ordered lobster ravioli and the pot roast special. Both were pretty, had better here before, but good. Here comes the kicker,the bartender who was very pleasant accidentally broke a wine glass into our food and drinks. Glass in our food and drinks. Offered to pour us new drinks and we accepted, but they should offer that to us. As for our food, we were about half done our meals, and all they did was offer us a half order of ravioli to take home. I actually refused at that point. Now the bartender ghosts us for the rest of our visit. We couldn't even get the bill. Now this is where I got irritated, they comped nothing. Offered us basically nothing and charged us for everything even this glass situation ruined our meal. Not even a free drink or a dessert. Nothing. All they offered to us was to replace food and drinks that we already ordered (they screwed up) and in the end paid full price for. Ruined our anniversary meal and all we wanted was an acknowledgment that the service got screwed up, not get ghosted. Sadly this was one of our favorite restaurants and we sadly won't be back. I gave this re-review 2 stars out of respect I have for this place in the past. I guess hospitality is dead. Good luck, thanks

Located inside of the Nouria/Shell convenience store, the Amato's food counter/kitchen offers a variety of made to order Maine Italian sandwiches/subs, wraps, salads, pizza, calzones, pasta, stuffers, pazzo, breakfast sandwiches, plus grab and go food from the nearby cooler. There is indoor table seating near the counter. Order at the Amato's counter, pay at the Nouria register at the other end and hand back the paid receipt to Amato's staff. I ordered the Pasta & Meatballs ($8.99 plus tax) and a large "Amato's Original Real Italian" Sandwich ($5.99 plus tax) which was made to order and ready in under 10 minutes. I was also informed that the staff originally added breaded chicken instead of meatballs for the pasta, but they also gave me both chicken and meatballs for no additional charge. I enjoyed my food for my tailgate dinner before a nearby concert. The pasta was served hot and baked in a round aluminum container with soft ziti pasta, a soft breaded chicken tender, 2 firm meatballs (cut in halved), a good thick red sauce, topped with lots of mozzarella cheese. The "Amato's Real Italian" Sandwich lots of Italian dressing, ham, cheese, pickles, peppers, tomatoes, black olives, salt & pepper in a soft open face sub roll, which was very tasty and messy from the dressing. Amato's is still a pretty good place to stop for food, quick and reasonably priced.

The interior is inviting with a large dining room, and the hostess was welcoming right away. Service stood out--attentive, consistent, and professional throughout the meal. The menu is extensive, almost to a fault, but it works in your favor if you're indecisive. They were out of one of the surf and turf specials, but with so many options it wasn't an issue. Drinks were well done--the spring sangria was a highlight and worth ordering again. We started with bread and truffle-style fries. The fries were overcooked and a bit too hard, but still flavorful and a generous portion. For mains, the short rib was pretty good and well-prepared. The chicken and broccoli leaned a little heavy on the garlic but was still enjoyable. Steak tips looked solid, and the fish and chips were another strong dish. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but for the amount of food and variety, it felt reasonable overall. In the end, not a bad spot at all for a suburban restaurant. A few minor misses, but plenty of positives. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

The sweet, smoky flavor, mustardy goodness isn't something I've found done as well anywhere else. And the fish itself was cooked perfectly. They paired the fish with the heartiness of the harvest grain side dish you see pictured. It was a huge serving, and I ate the whole thing because it was amaaaazing. My waitress was lovely and efficient, and I also didn't feel rushed. What made it a four star experience rather than 5 stars for me was the ambiance. The music was horrible--like 1980's big hair band type music. It was such a bizarre contrast to the rest of the upscale ambiance, which looked & felt more like a steakhouse. To my chagrin, it wasn't just one "off" song either...the awful selections kept coming throughout the meal. The music gave it more of a dive bar vibe, and it was so completely offputting that I left sooner than I otherwise would have. It honestly gives me pause when I think about coming again. And that's a real shame because I'd like to bring others here to share the amazing eats. I may try it again on another day. But if the music is the same, I'll be walking right back out the door.
