In 1960, Fontano’s Subs opened our first location in Chicagos’ Little Italy neighborhood. News traveled quickly about the great sandwiches being made. Since then, Fontano’s has received recognition as serving Chicago’s #1 from the Chicago Sun Times food critic, Pat Bruno. “A Serious Sub Shop. 

We have also been voted “The Best Sandwich Shop in the Nation” by Zagat in 2012. In 2014, we improved our Zagat rating from 25 to 27! We have been serving our delicious subs, soups and salads for over 55 Years! We will continue to do so along with a few new additions to the Fontano’s menu.
