Best Authentic Restaurants in Chicago Lawn

Ambiance is lively, fun, warm. Service was good. The pesto gnocchi and carbonara alone are worth going back for. We split the 24oz dry aged NY strip and very much enjoyed it, also a great value. The patata larda and sautéed mushroom sides were lackluster. Mushrooms cooked in scorched oil, not even a pinch of salt. Overall kind of disappointed with the sides. But we'll definitely be back for the pastas, maybe try the steak with the bitter green salad next time. Although we didn't try the pizza they looked and smelled delicious.

Every bit of our experience was perfection. We were a party of six and enjoyed Caesar salad, arugula salad, fettuccine Alfredo, penne a la vodka, meatballs, quatro formaggi pizze, tiramisu, vanilla gelato/strawberry (can’t remember the name… and espresso martinis… all amazing. Service was great. We will be back.

We loved Franco’s. Small neighborhood place with great food. We’ll be back!

We stopped in on a recomendation from a family member. The place lived up to every expectation. The Chicago deep dish pan pizza was woderful and my wife's chicken pasta was massive. We would definately go back if we were in Chicago.

Don’t be surprised by the name change to Adelitas! The service, ambience, & food quality are superb. Be adventurous & sample their gourmet variety of tacos. I had the Al pastor & fried fish ones and they were excellent. I will be returning to experience the plethora of vegetarian menu options. This restaurant certainly is a gem in Bridgeport neighborhood. Next time I will go earlier and enjoy strolling through the neighborhood. Cheers.
