Frankie’s Est. 1988

Frankie's Est. 1988 is a modern Italian restaurant in Tinley Park serving house-made pasta, Italian-style pizza baked in a Marra Forni brick oven, and fresh fish. The menu includes house-made mozzarella sticks, meatballs, fried calamari, grilled octopus, and filet mignon stuffed ravioli, along with a craft cocktail and mocktail list. The family behind it, Vince, Nina, Frankie, Angela and Orazio, previously ran Frankie's Beef & Pasta in Oak Lawn and Frankie's Ristorante in Tinley Park before rebranding the Tinley Park space in 2023.

The restaurant is at 9501 West 171st Street in Tinley Park and is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, with catering available on Sundays. Reservations can be made online, though walk-ins are welcome with current wait times given, and bar seats are first come, first served. The patio seats depend on the weather forecast, and a credit card is needed to hold tables on weekends and for special events. Gift cards are available, and the restaurant also offers off-site catering.
