About Fontano's Subs

Fontano's Subs has been on South Lincoln Street in downtown Hinsdale, Illinois, and calls itself "The Home of Italian Sandwiches." The name fits the place. Sandwich lovers come for the bread and the fine deli meats that go into every roll.

The menu covers both hot and cold subs, so there is something for a quick lunch or a longer sit-down meal. The Italian Blockbuster is one of the signature choices, a sub stacked with meat and cheese. Everything starts with the bread, which is the foundation of what the shop is known for.

Plenty of people in Hinsdale stop in for takeout, and online ordering makes it easy to pick up a sandwich on the way home. The shop also handles catering for parties and office lunches, so it often shows up at workplaces and gatherings around town. That mix of walk-in customers and larger orders is part of what keeps the place busy.

The shop has a simple, classic approach to the Italian sub, built on good bread and good meat. It is a familiar stop in downtown Hinsdale.
