The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. We renovated AND re-branded almost one year ago in May of 2023. We created a NEW CONCEPT we call MODERN CASUAL CHIC...The new name is Frankie's Since 1988 as an ode to our original restaurant on the Southside of Chicago. No longer a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant. Our new vibe is energetic music, vibrant craft cocktails homemade pastas, authentic Southern Italian style pizzas (from our new Marra Forni oven) and most popular dishes, such as Ciambotta (sausage & peppers), meatballs, Alaskan wild king salmon, Chicken "limone" with a lemon butter & capers sauce amongst others. Our updated menu is a combination of old classics from the past 15 years in Tinley Park and new items with the same wonderful service guests have come to know and love from Frankie's.

You’ve never tasted Italian food like this before. Pasta made by hand every morning; fruits and vegetables sourced from a local farmer - just for us; fresh fish flown in daily and our meats aged to mouth-watering perfection. We have taken old school Italian and added a modern twist.

    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.

    My husband, daughter, and I have been coming here around Christmas every year for 5-6 years and love this tradition. The food is delicious, the Christmas tree is gorgeous, and the service is great! If you want to do something special to celebrate the holidays this is the place to be!

    We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a quiet dinner. The steaks were excellent and the service was outstanding! Our server's name was Trisha and she was so nice and attentive, took pictures of us and even purchased our dessert out of her own pocket! This was our first time dining there and we would recommend checking it out!

    Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered
