Allergy Information
Contains wheat, egg, and dairy when prepared with the standard meatballs, Italian roll, provolone, and Parmesan. Removing the roll does not make the Meatball Parm gluten-free because the meatballs contain seasoned breadcrumbs. The complete breadcrumb allergen label should be confirmed directly with staff. Amato's uses a shared grill and kitchen, and cross-contact cannot be guaranteed.
When an allergy is disclosed, staff may clean part of the grill, clean utensils, change gloves, and use a clean knife, but an allergen-free order cannot be guaranteed.

- It comes with hand-rolled meatballs made in-house, house-made marinara, melted provolone, more marinara, and grated Parmesan on a fresh Italian roll.
- Are the meatballs made in-house?
- Yes. We grind the same beef used for our cheesesteaks and hand-roll the meatballs in-house with eggs, garlic, black pepper, oregano, and Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs.
- How many meatballs come on each size?
- The Mini has 1 meatball, the Shorty has 2, the Half has 4, and the Whole has 8. Each meatball is cut in half for service so it fits properly in the roll.
- How are the meatballs cooked?
- The meatballs are baked, then cut in half and finished to order with house-made marinara and melted provolone.
- Is the marinara made in-house?
- Yes. Our marinara is made in-house with tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and black pepper.
- Can I add onions, mushrooms, or peppers?
- Yes. Grilled onions, mushrooms, green bell peppers, and hot cherry peppers are available. They are cooked into the sandwich on the grill rather than placed loose on top.

- Can I request extra or light marinara?
- Yes. Extra, light, or no marinara is available upon request.

- Yes. Other sauces, mayo, and mustard are available upon request, although the standard Meatball Parm is built around house-made marinara.
- Can I order it without bread?
- Yes. It can be served without bread or over lettuce at no additional charge. The meatballs contain seasoned breadcrumbs, so removing the roll does not make it gluten-free.

- What size should a first-time customer order?
- The 7-inch Shorty includes two meatballs and is the standard Amato's experience.
