The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. Our Tinley Park location was renovated AND re-branded in May of 2023. We created a new MODERN CHIC vibe...The new name "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 concept more energetic music, vibrant craft cocktails & mocktails along with the same homemade pastas and signature dishes, such as Ciambotta (sausage & peppers), meatballs, Chicken "limone" with a lemon butter & capers sauce amongst others that have been loved throughout the years from Frankie's. We also added authentic southern Italian style pizzas from our Marra Forni oven in the dining room.

Our updated menu is a combination of old classics from the past 16 years in Tinley Park and new items with the same wonderful service guests have come to know and love from Frankie's.

    Frankie's NEVER disappoints!! The Valentine's Kids' Night was so much fun and so beautifully planned and executed. My kiddos LOVED the special kids drinks, the coloring sheets, all the decor and little details that made it special for kids. The adults also had many fun choices for specialty Valentine's drinks and desserts, too. As a parent, I really appreciate such an incredible restaurant having these types of events for kids and families. Excellent service as always, absolutely delicious food!!
