New Lenox Restaurants

This was our first visit to Francesca Fortunato, although our family is very familiar with the Mia Francesca brand. Before relocating to the East Coast, we lived in Chicago's West Loop, walking distance to the Mia Francesca West Loop location. We were frequent diners and hosted several events in the private dining space: wedding anniversary, college graduation, law school graduation celebrations and ladies' luncheons. We recently hosted our dad's memorial luncheon at Francesca's Vicinato in Tinley Park. Francesca's Fortunato lived up to Mia Francesca's exquisite brand. The restaurant is located in a lovely section of Frankfort, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The staff was attentive, friendly, and the food was delicious. We had a lovely holiday dinner and are grateful that we "tried something new" for the holidays. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

Had to ask for a waiter after sitting for 20 minutes

Tasting room experience was great as always. Jeremiah was excellent as a server. My only negative is how customers waiting in line for gift cards were soooooo negative and complaining. People it’s the day before Christmas Eve!….your poor planning is not the fault of the employees!!! The employees of CH handle it with grace. They’re customer-oriented and patient!!!!

The food was great. The service was great. It was a perfect evening.

Whenever I’m in town during my birthday month, Mr. Benny’s is always where I want to dine with my family. Elegance, free parking, excellent food, friendly wait staff, logistically nearby; all WITHOUT having to travel to downtown Chicago!
