This is a hard 4.5 star rating on its way to the 5. My first…read morevisit I wanted to grant the 5 star rating, although, I had to hold back to be fair. I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

For the delay claimed that the printer in the kitchen ran out of paper...unsure if I believe that. We waited forever for cold food and missing items from the order. You can't forget a kids meal and serve the rest of the party....for the price - it's not worth it. They roasted the peppers and sausage making it void of any flavor but burnt. I understand why most of the people in our group were upset about having to go here....we are out of towners and will not be going back.

This time I had the gnocchi, which had a thick parmesan cream and prosciutto on top. With the peas it created a sweet and bit salty combo that was very rich in flavor. I ended up asking for some bread and finished off the cream with it. For the fried calamari and asparagus salad, the lemon and honey vinaigrette dressing on the salad were great. The breading on the calamari melted in my mouth, but was somehow crunchy (the menu says crispy). For the eggplant parmigiana and linguine frutti, the eggplant was layered between a great tasting mozzarella cheese, garlic and tomato sauce. The blended mix worked well to produce a flavorful dish. For the linguine frutti, the homemade pasta was cooked to just the right amount, for a great tasting pasta. The seafood and sauce also tasted very good. Service is top notch and always very friendly. They are quick to respond and fill cups. Noise level is typically medium.

From the beginning, working with Alyssa to plan the menu and room setup was a great experience. She was so patient with me as I changed my mind from the side room to the main room as our numbers grew. Patrick helped on the day of the event, and although there was one small hiccup, he quickly fixed it. As we were setting up in a rush, the wait staff was so helpful and moved whatever we wanted. The food and the service were impeccable. Everyone was commenting on how much food there was and how delicious it all was. The room was beautiful, with natural light from the patio, and our 55 guests had plenty of room to mingle and spread out. Everyone was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire afternoon. It made the day so much better that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important milestone. If you are looking for a stress-free and memorable event space, I highly recommend it.

My wife and I go about twice a month, often enough that our drinks are usually brought to the table right after we're seated -- without us even having to order them. The host and waitstaff always make a point to take great care of us. We're often given our same table, the service is always on point, and the food and drinks are excellent. They definitely do not skimp on the drinks, either. One of the things that really sets Francesca's apart is how accommodating they are. Whenever my wife's favorite meal isn't on the menu, the kitchen will still make it for her. We often split, but I've also had several fish and seafood entrees, and they never disappoint. The desserts, especially the specials, are memorable. This is the kind of restaurant that feels both polished and personal. In my opinion, Francesca's is head-and-shoulders above every other restaurant in the southwest suburbs. No question.
