Northwest Illinois Restaurants

Had dinner with a large party on Christmas Eve and Franchesco's "knocked it out of the park" on a very busy evening. We had a great time!

From the second we stepped into Fried Green Tomatoes the customer service was phenomenal. The food was absolutely amazing. The experience was fun. I don’t have one bad thing to say. It was amazing from start to finish!

You never get a bad meal here. The food is amazing. However some things have slipped over the past few years. The host, Hunter,didn't seem to have a clue. He made us wait 20 min. while he seated others who came in after us even though the restaurant was only 15% full, luckily another host came along and seated us. That made for a bad start. The waitress was excellent but the young man who removed plates and filled water glasses kept reaching across us instead of moving to the side of the table. The soda and iced tea was so watered down that it might as well have been water. The steak and salmon were excellent. Cooked perfectly. The potato both mashed and scalloped were tasty and the brownie ice cream sundae was incredible. Our waitress, Allie(sp) was on top of everything. So, no longer a 5 star but still good.

Everything was fabulous! Our waitress was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! We had Italian Margaritas, Fried Calamari, Sausage Ragu, Veal Marsala and it was all delicious!! The bread & salad are to die for!! We will definitely be back! We even bought salad dressing to take home!! We love Vinny’s!!

Incredible experience! Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing atmosphere!
