Upon arrival seated immediately and served complimentary refreshments. Noticed a few other occupied tables including myself. Cute tidy restaurant. Locals and newcomers enjoyed the scene. Atmosphere had dimmed lighting with small accent Italian cultured decor aligned the walls. Very intimate and comfortable evening. My waitress named was Becca. She was very polite. Knew the menu well and even gave her favorite suggestions of entrees. She made sure I was comfortable the entire night and gracefully just served. I ordered the Dana's spaghetti, Caesar salad and for my appetizer I ordered the Bruschette con Spinaci which consisted mozzarella, fresh diced tomatoes, sautéed spinach and basil! So delicious!

They also serve bread to start, which was extremely flavorful. Our table tried a variety of appetizers: bruschetta, salad, calamari. And for my entree, I got the carbonara.

Still 5 stars!

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!
