One of the best italian restaurants in DeKalb. The dishes are big and worth the price. Food is great. I have tried their vodka sauce fettuccine with shrimp. Their bread is also great and fresh. You can eat as much you want.Servers are very knowledgeable about what they cook and serve. You can get their ideas if you don’t know much about Italian food.Will visit again if we go to DeKalb again.

I will recommend for now but my absolute favorite Italian dish is Chicken Marsala. We have lived in the area going on 9 years and have never tried Fanatico until 2 evenings ago - they are one of the only Italian restaurants in the area that offer Chicken Marsala. I was so excited. However Fanaticos Chicken Marsala is extremely salty and sodium packed either due to over seasoning or poor quality cooking wine - only they know which it is. Chicken Marsala is not supposed to be o

The food was fantastic. The pairing of cheese tortellini and chicken marsala was the best. I would highly recommend to try them out and see what I mean. Very well maintained restaurant with cleanliness being at the top of their list.

I and family have been to Fanatico's many times .....every time it has been a celebration of food and family. The staff is soo patient and attentive. I suppose everyone has a bad day...but like I said: every time we have been there: fantastic!!!!

Food is fresh, homemade, and sooooo tasty! Their alcohol selection is good, top quality. The owner is one of my favorite people that I've met in Dekalb, he is so nice and it's such a pleasure to see him when I go. I'm a vegetarian and I love the food here, but my meat eating friends love it as well and they have a great selection. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, with a bar area, and they have a patio as well.
Got in town late & found this place. Italian, my wife & I both enjoyed our meals. Wife had a veal dish & I had pasta-both prepared well &would order again. Arrived late yet they were very accommodating & our server was outstanding.

Wonderful food. Authentic and delicious. Had only been once prior in early January, and when I returned, not only was I remembered by possibly the manager or owner, he remembered my order (sausage and peppers). Drove 45 minutes and was not at all disappointed.

Been here a few times now. REAL food, You can tell it's made in house. I like the Variety of distinct flavors with plenty of traditional and unique dishes on the menu. I recommend the Steak Pizzaiola, and the Alfredo. My wife loves the Chicken Picata. I also like that it's sort of inconspicuous, hidden back behind NIU campus.
