What people say, in short
D'Amato's is recommended for sandwiches as well as its historic bakery setting. One commenter says it and neighboring Bari are worth a stop and mentions the old coal oven; a reply describes getting half a sandwich at each. Another singles out D'Amato's vodka parm. A separate commenter names it as a place to count on. A half sandwich is an order size, not a signature dish in its own right.
