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.

    My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Daisie's and could not have been happier with our experience. We received outstanding service that made us feel extra special on our special day. Our server, Nick, wished us happy anniversary immediately after seating us, and treated us to two glasses of champagne on the house. Additionally, Nick helped us select between two pasta dishes. Later, he came out carrying the one we hadn't chose, saying that the kitchen had extra and he knew of a perfect home - on the house. Our food was impeccable, and each dish tasted like it was made with intention and care with a creative & local emphasis. Even the cocktail wowed me! The unique pasta shapes delighted me to no end. Thank you thank you for helping us (and our tastebuds) feel celebrated!

    Absolutely amazing dinner! We had oysters Rockefeller and french onion soup to start, I had the Chilean sea bass and my wife had the 8oz Australian waygu filet with lobster risotto, we also had crème brûlée for dessert. I can’t even pinpoint one tiny thing that wasn’t perfect about this meal! Every time we are in this area we will be stopping here for a fantastic meal!
