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.

    The food was amazing! We had a seat at the bar and ordered some great drinks. After that we got the scallops for an appetizer and some entrees with a side. All were so good. We ended with three desserts which was the right choice because they all were so unique and delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the meal. Cannot wait to go back.

    There were five in our party, four of us had the pizza which is always delicious, oh that sweet sauce! One of us had the sautéed chicken , it was tender and flavorful, it could have fed three people. We also had the fried zucchini with ranch dressing, very yummy and crunchy , there was plenty for all five of us. Our server was excellent, we waited for nothing even though it was a busy night. Palermo’s is the gem of the southside!

    Always great! Christmas Day Dinner is usually stressful and expensive at a restaurant. It was perfect at Francesca’s last night. They did a great job allowing off the menu selections, friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere. But, pls for the love of Italian food, bring back the old Ceasar Salad. The new recipe is not good. The old one was perfection!!!
