Amatos Voted Best Maine Italian Sandwich
|
...and Best Takeout. The Maine Sunday Telegram released its 19th Annual Audience Readers' Poll results and readers did it again - they chose Amato's as the best place for take-out and best place to get a "Maine" Italian Sandwich. "Some say the best way to the heart is through the stomach, but the best way to my heart is to know our Italian sandwich is so well loved. Thank you Mainers for your support!" - Dominic Reali. Maine Sunday Telegram, March 13, 2005 Best Take-Out: Amato's Amato's is a great story. The company has more than a dozen locations around Maine, selling the best $2 and change Italian sandwiches around. The company began early in the 1900s when Giovanni Amato started selling bread to workers on Portland's waterfront. Now Amato's is a must-stop for Mainers who want a quick, tasty lunch on the way to the beach, or to a picnic, or well, anytime. Best "Maine" Italian Sandwich: Amato's Amato's invented the now-famous Maine Italian sandwich, an inauspicious-sounding combo of ham, American cheese, and fresh veggies on a soft roll. Sounds simple, but transplanted Mainers who come home for visits often stock up on the portable lunches before heading back. I recently talked to a Maine native in Atlanta who said she never visits home without getting a couple Maine Italians for the long trip home. Gives new meaning to the term "to go." - Excerpted from Staff Writer, Ray Routhier article entitled "Audience Readers' Poll Results". # # # About Amato's Amato's, with 22 locations throughout southern and central Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, is one of Maine's best-known names in Italian food. Families looking for homemade taste and quality enjoy Amato's freshly prepared pizza, pazzo bread, pasta, salads, and sandwiches. Amato's is best known for its "Real Italian" - that unique blend of ham, cheese and crisp vegetables on a fresh baked bun enjoyed by Maine natives and visitors alike for more than 100 years! |
