14 Excellent Old-School Italian Restaurants In Chicago, Ranked From Oldest To Newest

"Tufano’s has no menus (everything is just on a chalkboard), and it’s full of regulars, so you may be concerned you’ve stumbled into someone’s family get-together instead of a restaurant. Honestly, since everyone seems to know each other, you’ve probably done both. Not much seems to have changed here in 95 years, and people still come for the neighborhood atmosphere, plus signature dishes like the stuffed shells or sausage and peppers. And unlike your judgmental family members, everyone here is very nice, whether they know you already or not." - adrian kane
