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.

Great restaurant, fantastic food. All the reservations are already taken before they open up on the open table app, even if you check at midnight (reservations usually released around 12:10 AM). I suspect you have to know someone to actually get a seat at the dining room, have been unsuccessful several times waiting up until reservations are released.

We have been patronizing this restaurant many years. The food is excellent and very reasonable. I do notice that when it is crowded there isn’t enough help to keep up with the volume of orders and service. They should increase the number of servers and especially the bar tending staff. Our waiter Joey was very attentive. I believe that he was waiting on more tables than he should have. The upper management should look into increasing staff or implement more efficiencies.
