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.

    Absolutely best restaurant for a festive Christmas italian dinner! The whole restaurant was decorated fabulously! Food was absolutely delicious, large portions of everything including the martinis & desserts! Service could not have been better. Our waitress was personable & took the time to chat with us despite a very busy Saturday evening. I also appreciated the Owner stopping by our table & others asking if we were enjoying ourselves & wishing us a Merry Christmas. There was live music and some elderly couples got up to dance. I've never been here before but will definitely make this a Christmastime tradition going forward! 😃
