You’ll Love The Tasty, Made-From-Scratch Greek Food At Fazzi’s In Illinois
If you are in the mood for authentic, home-cooked Greek food, head to Collinsville which has a restaurant that locals love. Fazzi’s is a popular family-owned and operated eatery serving tasty Greek fare, as well as Italian and American dishes. It’s a place where everything is made from scratch using high-quality ingredients.
Fazzi's opened in 2005 by brothers Luli and Fazli. The brothers use original from-scratch recipes with fresh, high-quality ingredients. This family-friendly place has grown in popularity and is known for its excellent food and service.
Although American and Italian fare are also served, the most popular dishes here are Greek. The Fazzi's Signature Gyro Sandwich with gyro meat, lettuce, red onion, and Tzatziki sauce served in a pita may be one of the best you'll ever have.
What's better than fried cheese? How about cheese that's fried tableside? The most popular appetizer at Fazzi's is called saganaki. If you order it, your server will bring a pan of uncooked Greek cheeses to your table and will light the pan on fire. The fire goes out rather quickly, revealing the tasty fried cheese. The entire process is quite the show for the entire restaurant.
If you are having trouble deciding which Greek appetizer to get, you must order the Fazzi's Greek Sampler. This dish includes some of the favorites like pastichio, moussaka, spinach pie, and dolmades.
A few of the many Greek entrees you can order are the gyro plate, the Greek chicken, or the grilled chicken kabobs served over rice with a side of pita bread. Delicious!
Not in the mood for a delicious Greek meal? You can order one of the many American dishes on the menu. We suggest the Fazzi's Ultimate Burger, a one-pound chuck patty topped with cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and onions, and served with a side of fries.
If you are in the mood for Italian, there are several pasta dishes and entrees like chicken parmagiano, which you can order as a sandwich or as a dish with linguine.
Whether you choose to order Greek, American, or Italian, expect a fresh and flavorful meal with large portions. And chances are, you'll want to come back to Fazzi's again and again!
