First time here at this great little Italian restaurant... For starters I ordered the baked chili and my friend ordered the clam chowder... Both items were very tasty! For our main course, I ordered the Baked Eggplant with a side of pasta and it was delicious... My friend ordered the baked mostaccioli and he really liked it . Both orders arrived hot and were large portions... enough that we were able to bring some home for lunch the next day. Wish I didn't wait so long to try this place after passing it many times over the last couple of years. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back again. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner with my family, all of us who have never been, but we will be back! The service by Beth was great and she was great at explaining the dishes to help us decide. My mom loved the garlic shrimp fettuccine. I got the penne with vodka cream sauce and that was also delicious. To top it off, the birthday treat they gave me was a banana cream pie, which was amazing! read more

Went here for take out. This place was full. The smells were great. We got the chicken parmesan and that was great. I will be back. The staff was friendly and helpful. Its busy, but clean and the staff is well organized and welcoming. read more

Another great experience at Enricos. We sat at the bar and Michael took excellent care of us. We enjoyed the fillet, pepper steak and pound cake. Can't wait to go back. read more

Don't fall asleep on Enrico's. It's been around for 50 years, and once occupied a larger space on the very busy corner of LaGrange Avenue and Rt. 30 in Frankfort, IL. There's plenty of competition in this area, and when they moved to the smaller, cozier spot they occupy now, I kinda forgot about them. Shame on me because we recently had a wonderful meal on a very crowded Friday evening. Granted, the space itself is pretty small, but we got there at 5:30 and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 3. Happy to report that it was worth the wait. Our server Kahleah was prompt, friendly and attentive, so our service was very good. We ordered a bottle of Italian wine and began tackling their pretty expensive menu. My wife settled on the Friday special of Sautéed Lake Perch, I went with the Garlic Shrimp and Linguini with a bowl of the Clam Chowder and my mother had their famous Baked Minestrone soup and the Italian Street Tacos off the Appetizer menu. All of our food was absolutely delicious. My shrimp were huge, and perfectly cooked. My wife's perch was very light, flaky and delicious. Both of the soups were hearty and perfectly seasoned and the Italian Street Tacos were really flavorful, and a creative twist on a taco. As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of dining options in this area, and probably 4-6 other Italian restaurants alone within a 10 mile radius. I've been to most of these places, and I would argue that Enrico's could be the best of them all when it comes to atmosphere, service, value, quality and overall taste of their food. There's definitely a reason why it's been a staple in this community for 50 years. We'll be back!! read more

Great family owned restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. Sue, the hostess, is very kind and friendly. We had dinner on a Friday night and started out with meatball appetizer which was good. My daughter loved the jalapeño Mac and cheese and I had the beef sandwich. I love how they serve it on garlic bread and provide a cup of au jus sauce for dipping. We also bought a pumpkin pie to go and it was awesome. read more

Me and my family visited this restaurant for the first time tonight and we had an amazing experience thanks to ethan. Ethan is an amazing server and was very intentional with checking on us, giving recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. As a family that eats out every friday he is hands down best server we've ever had! thank you ethan read more

So glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem. First off, who doesn't love a good old school Italian restaurant? It's cozy and casual ambiance are very inviting. The place was popping, and we felt lucky to get seated right away on a Friday at 5:30 pm. I am excited to go back with my kids and try their pizza. My husband and I enjoyed the happy hour drink specials and a shrimp Caesar salad as we got settled in. The dressing was most definitely homemade, I wished I could take some home. My husband had the meatball sub (tender, flavorful and placed on a delicious garlic bread) and I had the Italian beef sandwich, which was phenomenal. You just know good beef and when it's sliced in house, and this certainly was. I added cheese and peppers to take it up a notch. Long story short, HEAD TO ENRICOS and come hungry. read more

If you're in the mood for authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy atmosphere, Enrico's is where you need to be! I recently dined here, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. First off, the ambiance is warm and inviting, a perfect setting for a casual dinner or a special occasion. Now, let's talk about the service -- our server was an absolute gem! She had the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our meal. They checked in just often enough to make sure our drinks were full and to see if we needed anything, but never hovered or interrupted our conversation. Honestly, it made for a stress-free dining experience. As for the food, I ordered the Pasta Enrico with a side of meatballs, and it was magnificent! The pasta was cooked to perfection, al dente and coated in a rich, flavorful meat sauce that had just the right amount of garlic and herbs. The meatballs had a delightful blend of spices and were incredibly tender -- the kind that makes you want to savor every bite. I could have eaten a whole plate of them! Overall, Enrico's hit all the right notes. With fantastic food, a charming atmosphere, and a service team that knows how to make you feel special without being overbearing, I can't recommend this place enough. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings! Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure Enrico's is on your list. You won't be disappointed! Which leaves with no other choice, but to give it an official Read Write Reviews five stars . read more

Enrico's is awesome. Great food and incredible staff. We had a fantastic meal. It is our go to place for Italian.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and the food was very good. Once I went I had a men named Doug and he was extremely good at his job. And the next time I had a women by the name of Kahleah and she was good and funny I would recommend going to Enricos and having one of this two people wait on me. read more

If I could give them negative stars, I would. Enrico's used to be a favorite of our for many years. They have gone completely downhill in the last few years. We dined in a couple of months ago and the quality was poor. This is the second year in a row that we ordered from them on Christmas Eve and the second time we waited for OVER AN HOUR PAST OUR PICKUP TIME for our catering order. And to top it all off - they gave us someone else's order. Needless to say, they have permanently lost our business. read more

Food is very good. Lasagna baked mostocoli Pork chops and minestrone soup. Only problem is there isn't a very big area to wait if you don't want to sit at the bar. Reservations are your best bet. Walk ins will have a long wait. read more

This was our first time trying Enrico's. We did carry out. That process was super smooth and easy. They brought it right to our car in front. Just a little disappointed to find out when we got home they forgot to give us the two added meatballs to our pasta. That was the one thing my son wanted to have for dinner. I didn't go back for them just because of the weather and I had 3 kids with me. But the baked mostaccioli and the Italian beef sandwich were delicious.!! We will definitely be giving it another try. read more

Had dinner on Saturday late afternoon and was disappointed with the service and food. Service was stressful the way our waitress rushed us and forgot our salads. When she served our meals we asked about our salads and she then brought them after our meals were served. The server was back to our table multiple times within minutes of each other asking constantly are we ready to order. We felt very rushed and not allowed to just relax and enjoy our time there. The food was alright but very bland and boring. It's been years since we'd been there and don't think we'll come back. Lacked a comfortable welcoming experience. read more

We just left and was soo impressed with a young (black) man named Doug waited on Us!!! He stood out from a crowd being the only Blk waiter in the place ... we are not partial or prejudice white, purple lol we don't care just be good !!! He was perfect in every way ! Food was good too ! He treated us awesome and was on his game ... We will be back and be sure to request him... Hope he stays read more

Enrico's Italian Dining - My glass of Merlot had Lasagna too with garlic bread yummy - Pizza Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

First this place was great before the move. Now the bar sucks, the food is mediocre and selection gone to hell. They made their reputation on pizzas, now they make pizzas once a week. Sold me a cannoli t-shirt, no longer make cannolis for last 4 years. Cheap on wine pours and this all comes from the top, Harry no longer cares or participates in keeping any consistency. Service is getting worse with young untrained servers. Avoid this lost non caring son of the great owner. read more

This is for carry outs and used to be decent, but lately not so. Two times I have tried the spinach manicotti and both times found it lacking. It seems they are premade in tins then frozen. Both times sauce was lacking to the point of non existent. This caused the shells to be hard on the ends and a glob of melted cheese on top. Their meatballs that come with the lasagna always seem overcooked. They also need to update their carry out menu as they list three different pies but only have banana cream as it seems the chocolate cream is for dine in customers only. read more

Server was a rude college kid who spent the whole time ignoring us while talking to people he knew at another table, didn't bring several ordered items, doesn't take the job seriously in the slightest. read more

Have been going for years and have always had great food service and atmosphere. Always enjoy our time at Enrico's!

I've been dining with enricos since I was a little kid in caboose, the current Mariano's parking lot. I've always stopped in and grabbed a banana pie for my dad's birthday and Father's Day. I went to grab one today after my son's baseball tournament and I was told I could not take the last full pie sitting in the refrigerator. I reached out social media and the owners fixed the issue. I am very grateful they value lifelong customers. It's my dad's favorite read more

The complementary garlic bread was excellent. The homemade ranch salad dressing was delicious. Chicken Marsala was very good. Definitely recommend. read more

Great Italian food and excellent service. We are never disappointed. Been going here for 25 years!

Went out to Enrico's tonight for dinner and they had broiled catfish actually charcoal grilled catfish on the menu. The waitress asked me what side I wanted with it. When I said minestrone, she said I couldn't have that that would be I'd have to order that as a separate item by then, so how about pasta and could I have the whole wheat pasta they advertised and she said yeah but there's sausage cheese in it and I'm allergic to cheese so I can suck can't you just do it with olive oil and garlic it should all yeah, we could do that Well they brought me out the catfish which was delicious and the pasta just plain nothing on it no olive oil no nothing it was a very disappointing meal and I won't go back there. They won't make any substitutions. They have 1 million rules and it's just not my kind of place. read more

A bun-chi of Italian delicacies, can't wait to get some minestrone and garlic bread! Good chicken Parmesan And pizza

We tried Enricos on a whim a few months ago after looking for a place closer than our favorite place in Orland (Ottimo). It was a weeknight and we were short on time and didn't want to make the drive to Orland. We tried a few of their dishes and pizza. We did not love any of our food. It was just ok. Nothing like Ottimo sadly. We will continue our search for something closer when we don't have the time to get to Orland or Oak Brook. read more

The fettuccine was the best I've had in a long time. The fried perch looked delicious. The baked mostaccioli was very good too. All of the food was large quantities. They served a basket of garlic bread with it. My only complaint was it was very noisy and the room seemed to echo all the noise. read more

We dined a few days ago. My friends & I had a very pleasant experience. Friendly greeting from Jen our hostess. We were able to choose our seating from a selection. Beth our waitress was knowledgeable friendly & extremely competent. Garlic bread was very tasty! Loved the Caesar Salad, was one of the best I've had in awhile! Our entree's were served fresh & hot! Dessert was outstanding! Homemade Chocolate Pie & White Chocolate Cheesecake. Reasonably priced! Thank you Enrico's for a very pleasant evening! read more

Great service! Wonderful food, Owner bought a round of drink for us at the bar! Nice touch to appreciate his customers. read more

This is our family's absolute go-to place. We try to eat there at least a couple times a month (if not more). Let me list the things at Enrico's that are not just good, they are the best you will ever taste: The baked mostaccioli The beef sandwich (with motz and sweet peppers) The railroad tie The garlic shrimp The bruschetta The minestrone soup The pepperoni pizza The banana cream pie The cheese crisp (no longer available but please bring it back) The Nachos (no longer available but please bring it back) Now, that's not saying that there aren't a ton of other things on the menu that are amazing, because there are, especially their specials. The filet is amazing. The chicken marsala is great. Their homemade creamy garlic dressing and balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. I am just talking about items that are my family's absolute favorite of all time, anywhere in the world! This place has been around for a long time and the recipes are their own. Harry is the owner and often walks from table to table to say hi and make sure you like what you are eating. If you are looking for a great place that is one of a kind with everything made from scratch, look no further than our favorite restaurant. read more

When I lived in the area I used to get Enrico's pizza religiously. They only serve pizza on Tuesdays? My wife and I haven't been home in about 10 years, and I ranted about going to Enrico's for weeks on end, only to find out they have shunned the one thing that put them on the map. It's a crying shame. read more

We are new to the area and truly appreciate this restaurant good service good food great experience. My wife and I have dined here multiple times and each experience has been just as great as the last. read more

Tremendous food horrible service We came here for the first time seated next to a table of the owners friends who were joined off and on by him.our waitress was friendly enough but more concerned with the boss and regulars.We arrived at 630 pm we got our food at 650 asked for our bill at 720pm and didn't get it until 747pm after several requests. .the boll finally came after our waitress stopped on the way to our table after a 5 minute hugging talking conversation with two regulars we took it to the front and had to wait to have the waitress process it .We left about 800pm never to return .it was clear to us that regulars came first and they have an antiquated method of checking people out .never to return read more

We were a party of eight, and each of us was thrilled with our feast - because there is no better word for the abundant, luscious food we were served. I had pasta pollo and it was perfection to die for. The sumptuous creamy three-cheese sauce on properly al dente fettuccine was beautifully accompanied by chicken, prosciutto, spinach, and the delicious extra I ordered, sautéed mushrooms. It was difficult to not gorge ourselves on the superb garlic bread. My companions eat here for nearly every special occasion in their lives as well as other times. Their favorites include baked mostaccioli, eggplant Parmesan, spinach manicotti, lasagna, Italian beef, the housemade fennel sausage, and the excellent pizza. The bruschetta and onion soup as starters were both delectable, and the spumoni and cookies were a lavish ending that no one could resist despite our full and happy stomachs. We will continue to enjoy the superb food, awesome service, and delightful ambiance at Enrico's as long as they exist, even though it is quite a jaunt for some of us. read more

Just very...blah and not like the original Enrico's at all. In town visiting my parents and was so excited for some awesome Enrico's pasta and garlic bread. I remember this food being soooooo good. We got a baked mostaccioli, a healthy chicken and veg pasta, and side salads. The salads were awful. The lettuce mix was brown and just looked sad, brown, dried out and dead. My mom did not like the chicken pasta at all and kept trying to pawn it off on to my dad and me. That's on her though. Enrico's should be an opportunity to splurge (calorie wise) on delicious food! The mostaccioli was really dry and extremely light on meat sauce. The only good thing was the garlic bread. We hadn't ordered from here in a long time and, unfortunately, we were reminded why. The sadly mediocre food was one thing, but even more disturbing was the dining room full of eat in patrons!This was in December. Uh...people at the bar, tables full of customers, parking lot full...yikes. read more

Enrico's is a Southside classic that every red sauce-lover should visit at least once. Reasonably priced with recipes that go back decades. They have some creative carry-outs that are finished in a home oven. read more
