Fanatico in DeKalb

You should refer the assistant manager, Patrick Mulhern. This restaurants food is so good it will have you leaving saying, Mama Mia!

Excellent food and service!! I live across the road and it took me almost one and half year to visit this place. I regret not being here before..

The food and drinks were amazing 😍

The spot is fantastic and broad, the meals was enchanting and the prices were very economical. quickly, effective service and very friendly staff members. I recommend this place.

Good food, fair prices and good service!

What a very nice Italian Restaurant tucked away on campus! We had lunch there today and the food and service was great. The rolls served before the meal are to die for! We will be back!!

Visited this place a few months ago. Food tasted good, however a fly was found in my wife's food. We are not sure if we will ever return.

The food was incredible with outstanding service. We will definitely be returning here

Large portions, great food, good price. Very friendly. Best chicken soup ever!

Beyond amazing. We’ve dined in and ordered Eat Street delivery during “stay at home“ orders. Everything we’ve had has been extraordinary. If forced to pic faves: carbonara pasta, buscayola pasta, quatro formaggi, and always the fanatico salad and tiramisu! Highly recommend.

Nice food....

Excellent food, good value, wonderful service. The bread they serve is so good, you get so full from it that you inevitably need to take some of your entree home.

If you go here, you have to try the bruschetta chicken. It's so amazing. And the portions are huge. Worth every penny!

Prices where a bit high but not much higher than olive Garden. I felt there was more choices than Olive Garden. I felt there was a bit of over use in salt in the soup and salad. The martini was really good.

This is my first review because Fanatico is the bomb! Patrick the server knows every single item on the menu and answered all of my objections and concerns. 5 stars for me! Thanks Simo de Fanatico!

My favorite place to eat in Dekalb. Seriously the best Alfredo around. Great food and great service!

Absolutely delicious!!! So authentic. Rich and delicious. Very happy it is successful and sticking around Dekalb. Amazing flavors!

I been living in dekalb for 2 years and never tried this place but today I did and it was exactly what I’d thought It would be......Delicious!!!!!! I’m definitely going again.

The service was top notch and food was soooo good! and great portion sizes. Definitely coming back soon!

Pat Mulhern, the assistant manager gave the best service I’ve ever experienced. I never had to ask for anything he was always ahead of the game. Will definitely be back just because of the service!

Great Place! Great Food! Great Service!

Great place for a nice romantic dinner or even a nice dinner with the fam. I was worried the quality would not be as good through takeout and quarantine but they sure proved me wrong ! 10/10 recommend!

A real gem of DeKalb. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, the food is incredible, and the staff is wonderful. Even the kids enjoyed.

Simo is a great bartender and made me a Wabo Rita, it was amazing. By far the best Italian place in Dekalb.

WOW! This place had THE BEST alfredo sauce and homemade rolls I have ever had. Flavors were phenomenal and the service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was inviting. I wish I lived closer so this could be my new regular place.

Fanaticos is a great place to go and eat authentic Italian food!

Fanatico is consistently outstanding every time I visit. Not only is the food fresh and delicious, but the service and ownership is beyond compare. Every time I am here, I feel a warm and welcoming vibe. The environment and ambience is immaculate, peaceful, and relaxing. This is the perfect place for a family gathering, a work function, or just a day or night date. Fanatico is my favorite restaurant in the area. Visit Fanatico. You’ll be glad you did!

Loved this place! the food and service was just amazing! i would say one of the best places around DeKalb/Sycamore area

Great food. Good staff. Weird location.

Excellent service, fantastic help from Pat Mulhern, he was very nice and gave amazing service!

Great service, fantastic food!

Love this place! Been coming here for a while now. Food is really delicious. Their seafood pastas are amazing! Be sure to try the tiramisu. It's so decadent. Great service. Highly recommend!

Amazing staff friend with a truly refined and diverse menu. This family has perfected their craft and it shows. Great place to entertain guests and family. Great for takeout. Amazing patio with drinks and music for the upcoming spring and summer months. Located in an area some may be unfamiliar with, trust me when I say , this place is a dismond. A hidden besuty. I recommend anyone in the area to take a visit , feel it out and come back and enjoy the drinks music and outdoor dance floor!

Yummy food. Unlimited bread supply😍😍 Relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for my anniversary with my love last night. DEFINITELY coming again!!

Great atmosphere, good drinks and amazing food. The owner is fantastic, really made my night through good conversation late into the night. Good date place.

Terrible food and ownership. Food clearly reheated. An employee told me their veal is really pork and they reuse other people's bread. When i complained the lil owner guy basically yelled at me and told me i didn't know what i was talking about. Will never go back!

What great service! This is a notch up from your normal sit down restaurant. If you like Italian food, seek this place out. The service alone is worth the trip. They are at least interested in serving you, not just taking your order, and bringing your food to you. Thank you for taking your time with us. It made it special. We will return. Thank you again.

Absolutely stunned. Fantastic food at reasonable prices made by someone with passion. Highly recommend for delicious dinner, support local business during this troubling time!

Today I went into Fanaticos for a pickup and got the Spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs. The price was right for the food I ate; it was delicious! Highly recommend this place for Italian food it is the best in DeKalb!

Just ordered some take out from here since being in quarantine and..... wow!!! Absolutely amazing! I found this place from my friends and now I’m hooked. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Great food. Better than Olive garden. Lol. We wen as a group and the food cam out perfectly timed. I would choose this place over any chain italian restaurant. Every plate in the group was cleaned off. The price is average for upscale dining.

They offer an awesome variety of delicious food. I enjoyed dining here. The employees are always helpful, prices are fair and the spot is always kept clean.

The food was made fresh and service was great! The price was bad either. I ordered the chicken parmesan with spaghetti noodles and my hubby ordered chicken alfredo... Both sauces were homemade and delicious!!! For dessert we shared a slice of cheesecake and a canoli. I would eat there again and again!

Really good food, steak was really thin and under cooked, Lobster was small, however really good

This Margarita pizza is perfect

They offer a nice variety of delicious food. I like dining here. Staff members are always very welcoming, prices are reasonable and the place is always well organised.

Food was fantastic. Waiter Trevor was very accommodating and answered all questions we had about food choices. Would highly recommend this restaurant to friends.

Excellent food, service, plenty of room. Priced competitively, full bar. Been there many times bit not in a few years. Still well worth a visit for a great meal

Great food, nice atmosphere, excellent service.

Best authentic Italian food, possibly in all of Illinois.
