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.

    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.
