Frankie’s Est 1988 full renovations in April of 2023 into a more modern vibe with upbeat music (no longer a fine dining white tablecloth and old world decor restaurant which was the old look of Frankie’s Ristorante).
We offer the same delicious food and service you’ve come to know and love from Frankie’s since 2008 when the Tinley Park location opened. The new name is an ode to our parents original restaurant Frankie’s Beef & Pasta that opened in 1988.
EVERY table booked two times per night on weekends
1st seating 430, 500, 530
2nd seating 700, 730, 800

Frankie’s is one of the best places to go to for a celebration, date night, or just to enjoy some delicious food. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The staff is very nice and attentive, including Frankie who seems to greet and say something to everyone who comes in. It is one of our favorite places hands down! We also catered them for our housewarming party and the process was very easy and the food tasted amazing as usual. Definitely recommend!

This is our favorite place to go for either date night or dinner with our little family! Frankie and staff truly make you feel like family from the moment you walk til they are hugging you goodbye. Alexandra has been our server a few times and she is phenomenal. Funny, knowledgeable, attentive, & again makes you feel like family! The food & drinks are amazing. We have tried a good amount of the menu and have never had a bad dish. The homemade pasta is my favorite and the portion sizes are good! Also, the decorations they do for every holiday are SO cute!!! Wish I could give Frankie’s 10 stars. See you soon! Ciao bella!

#157 on my visited pizza list. Comes in at a respectable #19. Finally, a great neopolitan pizza on the southwest side. Crispy and chewy perfection. Tossed perfectly thin in the middle with crispy pockets of air on the edges make for a great crust. Better than average and not your typical crumble sausge is very good. The light San Marzano sauce gives this pie great proportions. Too many places over sauce their pizzas but Frankie’s gets it right. Tried the light, pillowy, ricotta-filled gnocchi as well. Wife said it was the best gnocchi she’s ever had.

Wowza!! Hubby and I had planned a Popeyes night but fate brought us to Frankie’s. From host, to busser, to server the service was immaculate and never failed in between. We were lucky enough to get Travis on our first go around — we say lucky enough because the entire time he stopped to speak to us another table was requesting him and it didn’t take much to understand why! The food knowledge he held was pristine – and because of that we will be back! The busser who was a younger gentleman also made sure to take care of us in between courses ensuring we were okay – I wish I carried cash I would have gave it all to him. I mean in all seriousness what an establishment to have accidentally stumbled upon.

Papparadelle pasta homemade with mushrooms over a cream sauce with crumbled Italian sausage paired with Prisoner red blend chef’s kiss!
This girl has been to many an Italian restaurant. Ottimo, Capri (both spots) ,Tuffano’s, Baccanalia..and please, let me tell you, I will be back! Frankie’s stand on business. Staff was amazing, please ask for Melissa♥️ It’s been a long time since I’ve felt “at home” when eating at a south suburbs restaurant when it comes to good Italian. Frankie’s did not disappoint, they exceeded expectations.
And when an owner takes his time to visit every table during busy dinner service, as well as helps his staff, it shows the love that goes into a restaurant ♥️
Although they give mama Maria at Frangellas a run for the money with the Tiramisu (still my fave, don’t be mad) this restaurant is a hidden gem! And the staff! From start to finish, exceptional. Smiles were heard on the phone making a reservation though signing the bill. A must for anyone who loves quality food and good bottle pricing to pair with excellent food! (Please try what I ordered!)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Easily the best restaurant in the South Suburbs. Going to Frankie’s makes you feel like you’re heading over to your family’s house for dinner. You walk in and you’re immediately greeted at the host stand whether it’s by one of the servers or Frankie himself. You’re treated exceptionally from the moment you step in and it’s not stuffy or elitist, you actually feel like you matter. Once seated you are provided with a server that knows the menu like the back of their hand. The server is happy to provide recommendations or answer any questions you may have. The food is outstanding. I lived downtown for 15 years, Frankie’s would be an asset to Chicago, that’s how good It is. Homemade pasta, out of this world chicken, steak, and fish. Their pizzas are homemade fresh and cooked in a brick pizza oven. The seafood is incredible. EVERYTHING is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. I have literally tried the whole menu and struggle to find something I didn’t like. My wife is both gluten free AND dairy free and with them being a scratch kitchen, can make all your gluten free and/or dairy free dreams come true. My wife loves the gluten free dairy free Chicken Parm (yes gluten free dairy free chicken parm) with the gluten free penne and the Romaine salad minus cheese. Cocktails are superb, wine list is exceptional, ambience is great. If I could give Frankie’s anything higher than 5 stars, I would. Don’t pass this place up on your next night out.

Tonight, I had the pleasure of dining at Frankie’s, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I visited with my family, and we were all thoroughly impressed.
Our server was outstanding–attentive, kind, and always one step ahead in ensuring we had everything we needed. It made the evening feel warm and welcoming.
The atmosphere is truly something special. The restaurant strikes a perfect balance between elegance and playfulness, with unique artwork adorning the walls that adds a charming touch to the ambiance. The decor, lighting, and overall vibe create an inviting space that’s both sophisticated and comfortable.
As for the food, every dish we ordered was a delight. The menu offers a variety of options, each thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was presented beautifully and tasted incredible. Whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a lovely meal out, this restaurant is a top choice.
I will most definitely be returning, and I highly recommend Frankie’s to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience

Frankie’s was absolutely perfect! I’m not sure how there isn’t a rating higher than 5 for this amazing restaurant and staff. Valentine’s Day dinner with the wife and they were completely full, yet we never wanted or waited for anything. The food was perfect in every way. The owners were mingling with customers and staff while serving everyone as well. Thank you for the best dining experience we’ve had in this state. It was beyond what I expected for sure.
