    My fish entree was excellent, vegetables great but the potatoes were not good. We had a table in the bar, which was great and the noise level was fine.

    Great food and good service . Last time I was here was before the pandemic at their reopening in Flossmoor. Happy to see high standards remain and highly recommend the Vegan Jambalaya.

    Wonderful early dinner and perfect restaurant for meeting with son and his new girlfriend. Winetasting should be a part of all memberships. It was weird I’ve been a member since forever and they just joined last month but they had winetasting privilege but my husband and I did not. I understand why but that system sucks and with there no longer being crackers or an attentive person to help discuss the wines, the cost seems really unnecessary for long time members.

    This was our first visit to Francesca Fortunato, although our family is very familiar with the Mia Francesca brand. Before relocating to the East Coast, we lived in Chicago's West Loop, walking distance to the Mia Francesca West Loop location. We were frequent diners and hosted several events in the private dining space: wedding anniversary, college graduation, law school graduation celebrations and ladies' luncheons. We recently hosted our dad's memorial luncheon at Francesca's Vicinato in Tinley Park. Francesca's Fortunato lived up to Mia Francesca's exquisite brand. The restaurant is located in a lovely section of Frankfort, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The staff was attentive, friendly, and the food was delicious. We had a lovely holiday dinner and are grateful that we "tried something new" for the holidays. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.
