Amato's is a family-run place that screams Philadelphia - all kinds of photo's of Philly on the walls, the restaurant's truck is painted with the Eagles logo, and let's not even talk about the guy with E-A-G-L-E-S tattooed across his knuckles - meat is great, rolls are great, and the combination with cheese, onions, peppers and whatever else you want...
