Dino Anthony's closes in Frankfort

By Bob Bong
Southland Savvy

Dino Anthony’s, a popular Italian restaurant, closed its doors this week at 20590 S. LaGrange Road in Frankfort after being open less than a year.

Fans of owner Dino Pavoni’s pizza can still get it at Simply Slices, 14280 S. Cicero Ave. in Crestwood, which remains open. Simply Slices offers pizza and sandwiches but none of the pasta dishes that Dino Anthony’s served.
Dino Anthony’s is the second restaurant to fail in that location. It was originally a Tore’s restaurant.

Once Upon A Child opens in Chicago Ridge
A Once Upon A Child resale shop opened late last year at 9990 S. Ridgeland Ave. in the Chicago Ridge Commons.
The store buys and sells "gently used" children's clothing, toys, baby equipment and furniture, as well as movies, books and other items for children.

Chocoholics prefer Fannie May
The votes are in and readers overwhelmingly prefer Fannie May chocolates. The chain received more than half of the votes in last week’s poll.
This week, we’re asking readers to choose their favorite local burger joint. The nominees are all local businesses, though one or two have more than one location. We’ll do another poll in the future on your favorite fast-food burgers.
