fantastico
Italian for amazing
Fantastico is an Italian and Spanish exclamation meaning fantastic or wonderful, borrowed into English for emphatic or playful effect: The risotto? Fantastico!
It carries a theatrical, exuberant quality that the English *fantastic* lacks, often used to evoke Continental flair or mock enthusiasm.
