FAUSTO'S
ITALIAN KITCHEN
Since 1992, Fausto’s Italian Kitchen has served Arlington Heights and Chicagoland with authentic Southern Italian cuisine. Family-owned and operated, we are passionate about using fresh, high-quality ingredients to create dishes that bring people together.
Our Italian deli is loved for its famous sandwiches and paninis, while our trattoria offers cozy indoor seating, a charming outdoor patio, and space for private events.
We offer a fresh Italian deli, welcoming dine-in, and full-service catering for gatherings of any size. For over three decades, our community has trusted Fausto’s for deli favorites, authentic dining, and memorable catering — and we look forward to serving you next.

CHEF LEO
Chef Leo’s journey in the culinary world, leading to Fausto’s Italian Kitchen, is rooted in tradition, resilience, and passion. For the past 18 years, he has dedicated himself to the art of catering, treating his team like family and his guests like honored friends.
In 2020, during one of the most challenging times for restaurants, Chef Leo proudly took ownership of Fausto’s Italian Kitchen and Catering. He is deeply grateful for the support of loyal customers and remains committed to providing the very best in authentic Southern Italian cuisine and warm hospitality. Today, Chef Leo and the Fausto’s team are proud to serve as a cornerstone of the Arlington Heights community — creating meals made with heart and bringing people together around the table.
