Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Alsip

Tonight, my son and I went to Frankie’s Since 1988 for their brick oven pizza. The oven is a fairly recent addition and  what a great investment it was! We sat right by the oven and my son was able to watch our pizza being made. These guys are true artisans when it comes to making the pizzas with dough imported from Italy! Perfectly cooked and so delicious, it didn’t last long in our table. If you haven’t tried the pizza at Frankie‘s yet then you are missing out. The staff is very friendly and attentive. This is a true southside gem. You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into their restaurant.  you will have a hard time deciding what to get because it is all delicious! One of my favorites is their lasagna, but I’m always excited to see what the chef has for specials. If you go to Frankie‘s once, you’ll be back, if you go more than once, you’ll be family!

I had the drunken shrimp appetizer. Always very good. Cooper's Hawk white wine, and savignon blanc wine Both very good. Had the chicken madeira entre. Always excellent.

The Bartender (Mick) was extremely knowledgeable and made amazing cocktails(apple infused old fashion and cosmos. The server ,Alexander was very pleasant and all 5 of my friends felt so welcomed. His demeanor exemplified that of an experienced host. Our food was at the perfect temperature. My favorite was the beet salad. I could have it everyday. The raspberry cannoli was delicious. I'm so happy Season 52 is in Orland. What a wonderful birthday celebration🎊

We tried two of the specials. Shared 2 desserts. Everything was perfect.

Always great! Christmas Day Dinner is usually stressful and expensive at a restaurant. It was perfect at Francesca’s last night. They did a great job allowing off the menu selections, friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere. But, pls for the love of Italian food, bring back the old Ceasar Salad. The new recipe is not good. The old one was perfection!!!
