" What a wonderful restaurant! Tufano's has that perfect mixture of authenticity and homely ambiance. I had the portobello ravioli in white sauce and it was divine! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the wines and recommended a Chianti that paired beautifully with my meal. The only downside is that they only accept cash, which can sometimes be a hassle. But overall, the great experience outweighs that minor inconvenience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Italian food in Chicago, look no further than Tufano's! The food is always fresh, and the service is friendly. I really loved the veal piccata; it's cooked to perfection. The only downside is the limited payment options; they only accept cash or Venmo. That said, the food more than makes up for it. I love coming here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tufano's is an institution! I’ve been bringing my family here for generations, and it never disappoints. The eggplant Parmesan is simply the best around, and they offer it both as an entrée and as a side, which is perfect for sharing. The service staff feel more like family than employees. They even remember my usual order! Always a great experience and a must when in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful culinary experience at Tufano's! The moment I walked in, the aroma of authentic Italian herbs and spices welcomed me. I tried the chicken piccata, which was flawlessly cooked, with a perfect balance of lemon and capers. The service was attentive without being intrusive, demonstrating a genuine care for customer satisfaction. The quaint decor made the setting feel homely and inviting. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Italian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, I was indeed impressed by the quality of the ingredients. The freshness of the produce stood out in every dish. I ordered the veal and mushroom marsala, and it was succulent, while the sauce was rich and flavorful. The only drawback was the long wait time, as the place was packed on a Saturday dinner. The staff was kind and attentive, making sure we had what we needed while we waited. Worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night I tried Tufano's and it was pretty good overall! The fried calamari was crispy and flavorful. I also ordered the tiramisu, which, while delicious, could have used a bit more coffee flavor. Though the place was crowded, the staff were efficient and welcoming. Just remember, they only accept cash, which can be a hassle, but it's worth it for the good food and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal last night at Tufano's. The grilled calamari was perfectly cooked with a nice char. The house salad was also fresh and a pleasant start to the meal. My friends ordered the lobster ravioli, which I took a taste of, and it was superb! I can't wait to return for round two. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. It felt like a true Italian dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
