I stopped by this Amato's in Milford recently for dinner takeout, conveniently located off of I-495.
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. read more
