Maine Italian sandwich

The Maine Italian sandwich, also called Amato's Italian (after its namesake), is a submarine sandwich in Italian-American cuisine. The Maine Italian sandwich was invented in Portland, Maine. It is similar to, but distinct from, other types of sandwiches called "Italians" and is closely associated with the Amato's sandwich shop chain, though it is found widely throughout the state. The sandwich is named for the Italian-American community in Portland and not for its ingredients. "Italian" sandwiches have been referred to as "a part of people's lives" in Maine.
