Where To Forget The Internet Exists In Chicago

"Not much seems to have changed here since it opened in 1930—Tufano’s still doesn’t have menus (everything is just on a chalkboard). But it’s full of regulars, so you may be concerned you’ve stumbled into someone’s family get-together instead of a casual Italian restaurant. Honestly, since everyone seems to know each other, you’ve probably done both. People still come for the neighborhood atmosphere, plus dishes like stuffed shells or sausage and peppers. And unlike your judgmental family members, everyone here is very nice, whether they know you already or not." - veda kilaru, john ringor, adrian kane
