Franconello - Chicago

I love this place, and lucky for me it's right in my neighborhood. Old school independently owned restaraunt vibes...I've gone plenty of times and it's 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

Our server was kind enough to move us to another table. A group near us was extremely loud. Food and service were incredible. The lemoncello flute dessert is amazing!!!

Great dinner shared with my granddaughter...tortellini great and chicken marsala flavor rich and delicious sauce but chicken not tender enough to cut with a fork. Food price reasonable but watch out for $16 glass of wine. Reservations on line did not allow upstairs but saw people going up as we were leaving. Place filled up quickly for a Monday night. Other menu items I would like to try and will go back.

I was fortunate enough to see family, yet unfortunate that a repast was held there. The food was great and so was the service. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Italian food. The family style service made the right impression.Food: 5/5

Great food, the service was adequate. The music was quite enjoyable.
