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.

Pleasantly surprised! Celebrated our 52nd anniversary. Received a card, champagne toast, a rose, and a sign on the table! Shared a bottle of wine, I had the filet and my husband had the filet with the slipper tail lobster. Lobster was a little overcooked, but that happens. What really made our night, was our server Andrea. Very knowledgeable, very efficient, and extremely attentive. We will be back!

My wife and I had out of town friends join us. We had a fantastic meal. Anthony took great care of us. The tacos were tasty. I had a turkey burger, diet restrictions', that had lots of flavor. The flatbread was consumed before I could try it.. All four of us had the lobster bisque soup and three of us had a good sized chunk of lobster. We also enjoyed the old fashion cocktails. My only complaint is I couldn't buy a gallon of the cocktails to bring home.
