I had the catfish and chips and a hot lobster roll. The roll was good! Fresh lobster kit was cold though) and the bread was warm. The catfish was decent but could stand for some actual seasoning other than salt and pepper. I got Cajun seasoning on the fries so that made them good. Everything was fresh, made to order.*edited after owner response. We DID ask and if the food would actually be seasoned (being from the south, seasoning is important). I trusted the employees word and while the food was good, salt and pepper is not seasoning. There are a plethora of others to use.

I’ve eaten from D’Amato’s for as long as I can remember. Food is delicious and service is wonderful from their very beginning until today. Now some many many years later and I’ve moved away to SC, and on my return which is at lease 3-4 times a year, I make it my business to visit them every time I’m here. Til next time.

This honestly used to be a favorite of mine. While the staff is very polite and friendly (excellent service), it in no way makes up for the quality of the food that I will no longer be purchasing. The last 2 times I went my shrimp were severely overcooked and hard as a rock. They were really dry and the filet had no flavor at all. I used to swear by their clam chowder but haven't bought any in a long time because it's just as salty as the ocean itself. I don't know what they're doing but I can't take it anymore. I'm seriously disappointed.
Always a good experience here, I’ve patron this place ever since they were located in fair haven whenever the UNCLE worked the counter. It’s like coming home here. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, beautiful dining area… and fantastic food! Great friendly service with a smile oh and the baked goods ya gotta try!
