I had heard a lot about this place so I finally made time to stop in. I ordered a blockbuster sub and I enjoyed it. The price was reasonable. I think that from all the hype, I was expecting something really special, but it ended up being just a high-quality sandwich. I still would highly recommend this place for a great sandwich, but don't expect anything life-changing.

“Welcome to your new addiction,” said the woman behind the counter. And she was absolutely right! I has the 6inch blockbuster with hot giardinara - delicious cuts, fresh ingredients, perfectly textured bread, a yummy worth-the-messiness treat! The spot is unassuming (quiet music, open space, no fuss tables and chairs) and easy to miss, but paired with speedy, very kind service make this spot a true hidden gem. I’m glad I asked for a punchcard on my way out - I’ll be coming back!

First time and the best Italian sub I have had in Chicago! Delicious soup! Everything is fresh! Generous portion!

Setup a little odd. Counter staff wasn't super friendly as I was lost on my first visit. But dig the old school deli vibe. No frills.

Delicious sub sandwiches with nice thick hearty bread made however you want. Wish more hot sandwich places used bread as good as theirs. Great neighborhood spot for those who don't need to find a place to park as most local parking is by permit only.

My first time here was back in 2013 when I was going to UIC. This place forever changed my standard on what an authentic Italian sub should taste like. Always fresh ingredients, the consistency has been incredible. I've never had a bad sandwich from here! My favorite has always been the blockbuster, today I went for a simple ham and turkey but also outstanding as always! 100% recommend

Great subs. Great vodka sauce. The sandwich counter was a little intimidating at first for someone from a one stoplight town. Be ready to order! No time for questions. Just get everything on it. It’s all good.

EXCELLENT “Wise Guy” sub!! Went here for lunch two days in a row while in town for a robotics competition at Credit Union1 Arena. Short walk & completely worth it! I’ll be visiting from Ohio AGAIN!! Thank you!

Had the opportunity to visit Fontano's subs while Visiting UIC for a tournament. Amazingly fresh subs and wonderful staff made the place a great choice. Looks like I'm covered for lunch and dinner with the 16-oz wise guy. The peppers are a must

Been coming here for awhile and the subs are excellent but everyone is so nice to me and my family. I was walking around with my kids in the stroller and I left it outside thinking it would get in the way. One of guys working said hey you can bring that in and went to bring it in himself. That was really nice ! Thank you!

You know it's a good place when you have to foot race the cops to the front door to get in line for a sub. Enough said...

Have always had great experiences at this location. The original!!
Recently tried the Orland Park location, disappointed to say to least ��
They ran out of bread at 6 on a saturday!!

Best subs on the planet! I've been going there for over 34 years and have never been disappointed. And now it is so great to stop in and say hello to Mr. & Mrs. Fontana when they are there!
