White-tablecloth Italian eatery serving stalwart classics like veal piccata & pasta Bolognese.
The atmosphere is wonderful. Service was good. To be fair, I was here for lunch, so it was slow, but the service was in point. Portions are HUGE! Had lunch and enough leftovers for dinner. Nice place for a first date or family dinner. Price was higher than I would like, but it was worth it on portions alone. Check it out!

Return visit. Food was delicious, service very good. Only downside was the Mai Tai I ordered was overly boozy and just not drinkable. Server at first wasn't sure they could make it, so just make sure the bartender is skilled. Otherwise wonderful.
First time here in a very long time. Everything was excellent, and the service was phenomenal. I'm definitely going to return. Halibut was cooked to perfection.

Very nice place. The gnocchi baked with cheese was excellent and really enjoyed it. The chicken picata and vesuvio potatoes we average. Could have used more flavor. More lemon on the chicken and more garlic on the potatoes. The bread was really good and fresh. I will come back and try other items. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend the gnocchi.

The service was great it was our first time dining in. The food was a 3 out of 5 due to my meal being served cold. My daughter enjoyed her spaghetti and meatballs. We never received our calamari soooo no comment. But due to the nice waiter, I'll give this place another try fingers 🤞🏽

I really enjoyed the ambience and food from this place . Traditional old fashioned Italian dining . Got the Cheese Tortellini with the marinara sauce and the Manicotti. But the best dish was definitely the Sausage Franconello . That dish really stood out to us the sausage was definitely homemade and had a lot of flavor . As a side we decided to get the Vezuio Potato’s I felt the sauce to that could have used a little bit more flavor but still very good . Dessert was pretty good too got the Pistachio Copa .

Our favorite neighborhood “joint” for excellent Italian cuisine. First time trying the chop salad and was not disappointed, but if you are not a fan of olives, tell them to hold off. The only issue is it gets loud and you sometimes have to speak loud to be heard at your table. Otherwise enjoy!! Oh and by the way if you are hungry, order the chicken Parmesan - HUGE portion.

Some of the best Italian food you will get on the far southside of Chicago. This is an old school restaurant. Portion sizes are huge. Two people could easily share the Chicken Parm and possibly have leftovers. Drinks are fairly priced and happy hour in the summertime cant be beat. Highly recommend a visit and bring your appetite. Parking: They do offer valet but you can also park on Western.

I have been coming to this restaurant for a cpl of years now. The food was very good and for what they charge it should be good! I ordered from this restaurant at least once a week and spend $40 plus. I recently bought food and it was horrible simply horrible!! I was very shocked by the customer service I received from the restaurant when I called to let them know. Yesterday I spoke to Anthony who was very nice and understanding and told me he would have the manager Marsha call me back. Well.. this is the second day and no Marsha! I called today and spoke to Mary who was very rude!! No worries though I will not be back because as a customer who has a legitimate complaint about something that they re paying for and the Manager of all ppl can t return phone call to a customer I warn you DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE WHEN YOU INCOUNTER A PROBLEM THE MANAGER MARSHA WILL NOT CALL YOU BACK AND YOU WILL SPEAK TO VERY RUDE PPL LIKE MARY!! Don t waste your time here it s not worth it!!!!

I came in 1/09/24 for a business meeting. The food was very good, and our specific waitress was good, however when we tried to order dessert around 8:45pm we were informed that the kitchen was closed and that the restaurant would actually be closing at 9:00pm, a full hour earlier than the posted hours on their website and Google. No one informed us of this when we were sat, and then we were subject to multiple people lightly indicating that they wanted us to leave as soon as possible. The apology of our waitress is the ONLY reason service is getting 3 stars. When ended up going to Barracos for dessert and to leisurely finish our conversation.

I owed my High School Counselor a spaghetti date. Even though I wanted to take her to Franconello we decided to enjoy lunch at her house. Instead of using a delivery service, I drove to Beverly to pick up the food. I had never heard of this restaurant, but I trusted the reviews. The restaurant opened at 11AM, and I waited in the parking lot until I saw someone unlock the door. I ordered spaghetti with and without meatballs, sauteed spinach, and salad. The entire meal was freshly prepared. I waited 25 minutes. The portions are large. We enjoyed the spaghetti with meatballs, Italian bread, and salad. I took the spaghetti without meatballs and spinach home. I shared the meal with my sister. The leftovers were just as good the next day. I look forward to dining at Franconello. Although I loved the holiday decorations, I will return before Christmas 2024.

Old school vibe. Great quality & atmosphere. Always interesting specials. Update from previous review. I never thought we would have a bad experience at Franconellos, but last night, Christmas Eve, it was horrendous. We had reservations at 7:00, and there was at first, expected delays because of the holiday. Food delivery service took forever. I ordered fish stew with linguine but did not get linguine, I got garlic bread. After waiting forever, I decided just to accept it. As we started to eat, Marsha yells across the dining room that we closed a half hour ago. At that point, they turned off music and staff started their closing procedures. My daughter and wife were upset and just decided to get theirs boxed and leave. As loyal customers, weve never had to valet park our car. Last night, there were 6-8 open spaces but we were stopped for mandatory valet parking. Totally unnecessary. Weve always recommended and bought gift cards, but I think were going to rethink that.

We ordered the Ceasar salad, it was delicious and not drenched with dressing, the chicken Alfredo was to die for, thick Alfredo noodles, ceamy but not full of butter. The meatballs were a nice big size, and seasoned well, I ordered three. The pasta in vodka sauce and parsley was delicious also, and the kiddo had regulat spaghetti with pasta sauce, bread was good to. Large portions, leftovers were great. Quiet family environment. Parking at Beverley Bank is convenient too! Took off one star because the desserts werent that great.

I love this place, and lucky for me its right in my neighborhood. Old-school independently-owned restaraunt vibes...Ive gone plenty of times and its always the same bartender, host, server, etc. Food is incredible, my favorite was probably this pasta dish featured here (forget the name) or the winter salad, which is mixed greens, goat cheese, pear, balsamic, candied nuts...just incredible. Not a huge drinker but they have a full bar which you can also sit at if you want (tvs are there for sports, etc). Despite the TVs in the bar it still retains a very posh and intimate atmosphere. My only advice is bring your wallet and a sweater in case you get cold -- they keep it nice and cool for the workers who are always busting their butts while still remaining smiling and friendly. Parking: Easy peasy

I am always on the hunt for culinary gems that offer an unforgettable dining experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the best Italian restaurant in our neighborhood, and it exceeded all my expectations. This hidden gem managed to impress me in every way possible. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the staff, setting the tone for the evening. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. The scent of freshly baked bread and aromatic herbs wafted through the air, instantly whetting my appetite. Lets talk about the star of the show - the Cheese Ravioli. Tender pasta pillows filled with the most heavenly blend of ricotta and parmesan cheese, topped with a rich tomato-basil sauce that had us swooning with every bite. It was a symphony of flavors, and I couldnt get enough of it! However, the only minor hiccup in the otherwise perfect meal was the Shrimp Scampi. Little did we know that it was an appetizer, and our excitement turned into a slight disappointment when the portion arrived. But let me tell you, those plump, succulent shrimp sautéed in garlic butter were so tantalizing that we couldnt help but wish for more. A note to self for next time - order two portions! Despite the Scampi hiccup, everything else on the menu was just as impressive. From the velvety smooth Fettuccine Alfredo to the delectable Chicken Marsala, each dish was carefully crafted with love and expertise. Every bite seemed to tell a story of Italian tradition and culinary mastery. One thing that caught our attention was how obviously popular this restaurant is among both locals and celebrities alike. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldnt help but notice the walls adorned with autographed pictures of famous personalities who had dined here. From renowned actors to well-known musicians, this place seems to be a favorite among the stars, and now I understand why! So, youre in the mood for an unforgettable Italian culinary journey, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! Despite not knowing that the Shrimp Scampi was just an appetizer, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. The Cheese Ravioli alone is worth a visit, and the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. I cant wait to return to try more dishes and savor the flavors that left us enchanted and craving for more.
