" I can't say enough good things about my experience here. The garlic knots were a delicious start to the meal, followed by a generous portion of lemon chicken that was perfectly tangy. The service was outstanding, and the staff treated everyone with utmost respect. While it was a busy evening, the wait time for seating was minimal, which I appreciated. Just be sure to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian American, I truly appreciate the roots and the authenticity that Tufano's brings to Chicago's Little Italy. The family recipes shine through every dish, and it's evident that the staff genuinely care about the dining experience. The spaghetti and meatballs are as traditional as they get! Don’t forget to explore the dessert menu - the cannoli are a must-have! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I stumbled upon Tufano's during my visit to the city! It's a bit noisy, but you can't beat the vibe. I loved my meal—seafood linguine that was bursting with flavor and included fresh live mussels. Despite it getting crowded, our server was attentive and catered to our needs. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for traditional Italian cuisine in Chicago! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Tufano's for years, and each visit feels like coming home. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are like family, and the food never disappoints. I recently had the veal parmigiana that melted in my mouth! Portions are generous, and you will definitely leave full and satisfied. They also offer great options for larger groups, which I've taken advantage of on many occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tufano's and was thoroughly impressed! The lemon chicken was a highlight for me. However, while the food was great, I found the portion sizes a bit smaller than I expected. The ambiance had an old-school Italian restaurant charm, and the service was friendly. Definitely worth trying again, as I want to sample more from their menu, especially their desserts. " (*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*)
