My waitress (Alex)was very nice and detailed, she knew the whole menu and some very great suggestions that did not disappoint me.

This is a hard 4.5 star rating on its way to the 5. My first…read morevisit I wanted to grant the 5 star rating, although, I had to hold back to be fair. I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

Each week in addition to their excellent menu, they give you another list of specials for that week, covering an appetizer, or meat, fish or pasta.

Served warm Italian bread complimented with olive oil and shaved feathery parmesan. Drinks to order and delightful garlic crisps and cheesy bruschetta for our appetizers. So flavorful. With all the extras we all decided on salads and a shared bowl of penne primavera. The penne was surprisingly excellent with loads of fresh, crispy vegetables. The salads were dinner size even at lunch so order accordingly. Excellent restaurant. Will be back. As for service they were polite but we weren't checked on but once and we had to ask for her three times. Overall great experience.

The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with just the right volume of music to enjoy conversation. The service was excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive. We started with the Fire Roasted Meatballs, Burrata & Prosciutto with Fig Jam, and Ciabatta Bread, all of which were fresh and flavorful. The Eggplant Parmesan and Potato Croquettes (with prosciutto cotto, mozzarella, and roasted red pepper aioli) were also incredible. For the main course, we shared two pizzas: * Burrata & Honey - A perfect mix of San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, soppressata, hot honey, and chili flakes. * Diavolo - A bold and delicious combination of San Marzano sauce, fior di latte, soppressata, ricotta, and chili oil. The grand finale was dessert, and the Tiramisu cake was absolutely divine--light, creamy, and the perfect ending to our meal. Overall, Forno is a gem. The restaurant is the perfect size, the food is top-notch, and the experience was memorable.
