“We were warmly greeted by Chelsea when we arrived. We were seated at a cozy table toward the back of the restaurant. Frank Sinatra music was playing in the background. Our waitress Melissa brought us water to the table with the days specials. There is a good wine & cocktail selection. We started with the shrimp & calamari along with truffle fries for an appetizer. The shrimp & calamari were cooked perfectly while seasoned with the right amount of oil and garlic. The truffle fries garlic aoli sauce was very good, not overpowering. For dinner, we had chicken parmesan served with penne pasta as the side. The portion size was big. The chicken was cooked well, not overloaded with sauce and the right amount of cheese. The other dish order was the risotto of the day, shrimp & grape tomato. Highly recommend the risotto. It was cooked perfectly with big delicious shrimp mixed in with the risotto. As delicious as it was, room was being saved for dessert. Not many restaurants serve flourless chocolate cake, but Frankie's 1988 does. It is served with a carmel sauce, pecans, and vanilla gelato. I have had many flourless chocolate cakes in my life, and none compare to the one made at Frankie's. It is dense, almost like dark chocolate fudge that just melts in your mouth. They also have canolis, tirimisu, and an assortment of gelato. The staff was so nice, checking on us throughout our dinner, ensuring we were never out of water. Frankie introduced himself to us as we were leaving. We had to tell him how amazing the risotto was today. Frankie said that their kitchen is a scratch kitchen and will gladly make items not on the menu if the kitchen has the ingredients. Frankie's 1988 is a 5 Star restaurant nestled in a strip mall in Tinley Park.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free and vegetarian options are available.“
“I have a hard time with Italian joints because I've grown up with home made from my italian family. This one however, is amazing. I don't think I've had a bad meal here. Baked clams were nice and clean with no sand, the calamari was cooked perfectly and not chewy, the garbage salad is HUUGE and amazing. My favorite dish is the chicken milano which used to be a special only, however if you knew about it, they would make it. Glad to see it's permanent on the menu now. If you want italian food, this is pretty much the best around you find. Thanks guys!“
“My son and his family brought a huge box of your mouthwatering items to me here in Wisconsin. I was born and raised in Chicago so I was use to good Italian food and I really missed it until I received yours. It was THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. AMAZING. Thank you.?❤️“
“One of my favorite restaurants in the South Suburbs for excellent Italian food. Always consistent and delicious with plenty of choices for everyone on the menu. The specials always peak my interest and Toni, my favorite server describes them perfectly! Her description of the wines always has me trying out something perfect for my meal. I had read a previous bad review due to a television with Fox news on the TV! I do not go there for the television and LOVE the atmosphere, EXCELLENT food and great service! Love this place and I will keep going back..“
“The two slices & soda deal for $7 is perfect, its filling & actually tastes good . There’s not many places anymore that offer good food for a cheap price but that deal is definitely good quality pizza for a cheap budget . One slice is pretty filling on its own, the dough is really thick so it can definitely feed two people if you need it to . 2 slices for one person tho & trust me, you’re full for hours . Amazing deal, great quality pizza slices, I will definitely be ordering more often .“
“Their pizza is delicious. My family loves pizza. We have tried many is the surrounding area and nothing compares to Guardi's. It has become a staple for take out in my house. Their service is great (I have never arrived and had to wait for my order) and the employees have always been extremely friendly and sufficient. It's worth giving them a try.“
“Pizza was delish!!!! Thin crust was very thin but tasty! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was double the toppings but I understand due to inflation it’s probably not cost effective. Fries were fantastic too! Fresh and warm even by the time I arrived home from pickup. They also sell these cookies at the counter triple chocolate which were amazing! Will definitely return…5 stars! Staff were super friendly and place was clean.“
“I am in no means an expert on Chicago Italian beef sandwiches. Stopped in on a cross country road trip. Wow,the sandwiches were great! Grab plenty of napkins and dig in. Mine had provolone and hot gardeneira,really kickin' sandwich. Can't wait to get back!Parking: Park out front and eat inside. Not the kind of sandwich for the car.“
“We ordered a monster pizza Saturday nite..It was delicious!!We will definitely be ordering again soon..We were looking for another pizza place to ordered from..we were tired of the place near our house..So my husband looked around and said hey..did we try rosati's??Well we ordered way back in 2012 the man on the phone said..lolAnyway.. long story short..it was amazing..Thank you for a great pizza..“
“The dinner selections were varied and all looked delicious. There were options for light eating as well as a nice heavy meal. The food came out hot and everything tasted beautifully seasoned. Our server was delightful. The wine selection was not huge but it had something for everyone and we had a wine I had never heard of before. We will definitely be back.“
“First time at Little Joe's. I had a birthday dinner for my son. We had 5 adults and 2 kids, we ordered pizza, and a few different dinner items. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. Can't wait to go back.Kid-friendliness: I have 2 toddlers, grandchildren. The waitress was very accommodating and so friendly and sweet .“
“I cannot say enough about Tinley for their service, customer satisfaction, anticipation for heavy crowds and how they run their business. They are just top notch. And the food is phenomenal!Vegetarian options: My son is a vegetarian and he says two thumbs up.“
“I used to live down the street from the Glenwood location and we ate Arrenellos Pizza all the time. I LOVE the sweet sauce. I now live in Fort Worth and make it a point to go get Arrenellos pizza anytime I go back to Chicago and if I have to, will bag it and bring it home in my suit case! Great blend of flavors with the sweet sauce and the outstanding sausage and cheese. Rich has created a Chicago legend in my tastebuds! Just wish I could get it shipped on a regular basis because there is NOTHING like it here in Texas!“
“Closed for 5 months for a "makeover," once more this 'new' Nancy's location doesn't disappoint! The service was fast, on time and very courteous. Oh yeah- the food was great too! As for "atmosphere" for a carry out place they did a great job on the "makeover." Compliments to the guy who waited on me, couldn't have been nicer. Thanks! I'll be back!“
“They have some of the nicest employees to take our orders and if you don't know anything about POPS, it's the best beef in my opinion in Chicago plus they have a great breaded steak sandwich. You just won't be disappointed eating there the dining area is small but any given time there's always tables available. If you need to catch some lunch or dinner POPS would be my choice.❤??“
“Came to this pizzeria after my sons hockey game and the place was good. As soon as u walk in, we were greeted immediately and had a table within minutes. Tvs were everywhere, so u can't miss a game or highlights of sports going on, which was great also. Ordered a deep dish which typically takes about 20 minutes or so longer than a regular pizza but the wait was worth it. Cheese and sauce was on point and they didn't skimp on the sausage either. I wilk say maybe less flour in the dough cause it did overtake the breading flavor of the pizza a bit but iverall it was delicious. Our waiter kept checking in which was great and as well. I'd come again next time we have a game up there or if in the area.“
“We enjoyed a lovely meal with delicious food and great service. Joe was our server and was very knowledgeable and attentive. The baked clams were exceptional and the raw oysters were so good! We had several appetizers and each ordered a meal. Zero complaints from us! The pork chop with Marsala mushrooms was amazing! Well done Vinny's, we'll be back!“
