The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. We renovated AND re-branded almost one year ago in May of 2023. We created a NEW CONCEPT we call MODERN CASUAL CHIC...The new name is 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 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.

Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    Great meal, great service. We sat in the bar area and could actually hear the people at our table. Their bar area is spacious. Gyros were excellent. The sea bass was excellent. Stuffed chicken was amazing. We couldn’t have been happier with our meal.

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. We really enjoyed our appetizers (corn bread, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes) and our entrees (I absolutely loved the burnt ends). The cocktails were fantastic as well - I had the fig cosmo(?)

    Food was delicious and the service great! This is the second year my gal pals chose Bella Mia’s for our holiday get together. We love the festive holiday decorations and atmosphere. It was very crowded tonight, so a bit loud. However, we still had a wonderful time!

    Food is 10/10 so is the service. Our waiter was so patient and accommodating. You get a lot of food for the price. It’s decorated with a rustic theme that is very warm and inviting. It’s a little loud on a Saturday but I can see why it’s so popular.
